Privacy Policy

Local-first by design

Canopy runs entirely on your machine. Your source code, terminal sessions, workspace configurations, and Git data never leave your device through Canopy itself.

All application settings, layouts, and workspace data are stored locally in your operating system's standard application data directory.

AI assistant (Claude Code)

When you use the built-in Claude Code integration, your prompts and relevant code context are sent to Anthropic's API to generate responses. This communication happens directly between your device and Anthropic's servers.

Canopy does not store, intercept, or log your AI conversations beyond what is needed for the active session. For details on how Anthropic handles your data, refer to Anthropic's privacy policy.

You can use Canopy without the AI features -- no data is sent to any external service unless you actively use Claude Code.

Analytics and telemetry

Canopy does not collect analytics, telemetry, or usage data. There are no tracking pixels, no event logging, and no phone-home behavior.

Update checks

Canopy periodically checks for new versions by contacting GitHub's servers (github.com). This is handled by the electron-updater library. During this check, your IP address, current application version, and operating system are transmitted to GitHub.

The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) — keeping the software up to date and secure.

GitHub, Inc. (a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation) acts as a data processor for update delivery. GitHub may retain server logs containing your IP address in accordance with their privacy statement (github.com/site/privacy). Canopy itself does not store any data from update checks.

You can disable automatic update checks by declining updates when prompted. Manual update checks are available via the Help menu.

Website

This website (canopy.itsol.tech) does not use cookies, analytics services, or third-party tracking scripts.

Children's privacy

Canopy is a developer tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), if you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to: access, rectify, or erase your personal data; restrict or object to its processing; and data portability.

Since Canopy does not collect or store personal data beyond what is described above (IP addresses processed by third parties during update checks and AI usage), most of these rights are best exercised directly with the relevant third-party provider (GitHub for updates, Anthropic for AI).

For any privacy-related requests, contact us using the details in the Contact section below.

Data controller

The data controller for Canopy is IT SOL, contactable at kontakt@itsol.tech. For matters related to data processed by third parties (GitHub, Anthropic), please also refer to their respective privacy policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of Canopy after changes constitutes acceptance.
