Replit restructured its privacy policy detected on August 5, 2026 to reorganize how it describes personal data collection, moving from a broad 'information we collect' framework to a detailed categorical structure identifying specific data types (registration data, content, collaboration data, usage, communications, payments, device, location). The previous policy referenced a Data Processing Agreement for EEA/UK/Switzerland customers; the updated policy removes that specific reference and substitutes general Terms of Service language. The operational effect is more granular disclosure of collection methods and categories, though the substantive data Replit collects and processes appears substantially similar.
EU, UK, and Switzerland entity customers: EU-based organizations can no longer reference a specific Data Processing Agreement URL in the privacy policy, requiring verification that Replit has published a replacement DPA or standard contractual clauses elsewhere to satisfy GDPR Article 28 requirements.
The updated policy organizes personal data collection into specific categories: registration data (name, email, phone), content created (code, files, prompts), collaboration data (teams, workspaces, permissions), usage logs (pages viewed, searches, interactions), communications (messages, attachments), payment data (card details, billing address, subscription type, collected by third-party processors), device data (IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers), and general location inference from IP address (with explicit statement that precise location requires consent). The policy states it 'may collect certain Personal Data' but does not materially expand the types of data collection beyond the prior version's framework. The removal of the explicit Data Processing Agreement reference may affect how EU/UK/Switzerland users exercise data rights, though the policy now cross-references the Terms of Service and indicates DPA compliance may be addressed elsewhere.
Removed explicit URL reference (https://repl.it/site/dpa) to DPA for EEA/UK/Switzerland entity customers; replaced with general Terms of Service cross-reference.
Reorganized disclosure to itemize collection in specific categories (registration, content, collaboration, usage, communications, payment, device, location) rather than functional categories.
Added explicit statement: 'We do not collect precise location information unless you have consented.'
