New policy from :

Unless you opt out by August 17th 2026, data from Jira and Confluence will automatically be used for AI training. Some data cannot be opted out at all on some plans.

Atlassian recently announced updates to how we use eligible customer data so we can deliver improved AI experiences for all customers. We designed this change with your security and privacy in mind - giving you control over your data contribution with new in-app settings and strengthening our existing privacy-preserving measures - so you can adopt AI confidently. These changes are reflected in our customer terms and will go into effect on August 17, 2026. As part of this change, we are: Updating how we use metadata and in-app data to improve apps and AI experiences for all customers. Introducing new data contribution settings in Atlassian Administration, so you can manage your organization’s contributions. Note: Initially, these settings will apply to data in Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management, including data in your Atlassian Platform apps (Rovo, Home, Teams, Projects, Assets, Goals, Analytics, and Administration). Strengthening our existing privacy‑preserving measures,
Data contribution default settings follow the highest active plan in each Atlassian cloud organization. Some Atlassian cloud organizations are excluded from data contribution due to their compliance requirements, so default settings are not available. If your Atlassian organization has an active Enterprise plan, you can opt-out of metadata contribution. If your Atlassian organization’s highest active plan is Free, Standard, or Premium, metadata contribution is always on, and you’re not able to opt-out. All metadata is de-identified and aggregated before it is used to improve apps and experiences for all customers. We remove information that directly identifies individuals, such as name and email addresses. You can learn more about what metadata is, how it's protected, and how it's used in the documentation.

@kepano I'm aware of some healthcare providers using Confluence to store patient data. I'm sure this is all perfectly in line with the spirit of GDPR (or HIPAA).

@kepano Rovo's Basilisk

(Atlassian's AI is called Rovo)

@kepano I do hope my former employer deleted the account they forced on me…

@990000@mstdn.social

@kepano I’d love to know how they filter out things like API keys, passwords, attachments, screenshots, endpoints, code, and names from accidental leakage

@kepano Atlassian? The people who made Trello?
fuck...

Daniel González

@CatAClock @kepano just a small correction: the people who bought Trello in 2017.

Simon Dassow

@CatAClock @kepano Sort of. They didn't make it, but bought it. That was the first sign to stop using it I think.

@simondassow @kepano my school blocked Atlassian for some reason so I couldn't use it at all :neocat_woozy:

@kepano
And that’s where I stop promoting their applications, thank you and goodbye

@kepano compared to default-on for all data, not able to opt out from anonymized aggregated metadata sounds not a big deal.

Well, as long you assume it is handled truly as described. But your are trusting them your data to start with, so this again is the least concern.

Okay maybe in the sense that it sets a precedent, that might come for true data as well on free plan eventually.. that would be bad.
