Replit uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to monitor activity on its platform, and states that users can configure their browser to block or limit cookies.

Cookies and tracking technologies may be used to collect behavioral and device data that is shared with advertising and analytics partners; browser-level cookie blocking is disclosed as a control mechanism, but the policy does not specify whether a cookie preference center or granular consent mechanism is available.
Interpretive note: The policy does not specify whether a consent management platform or cookie preference center is available beyond browser-level controls, creating uncertainty about compliance with EU/EEA consent requirements for non-essential cookies.
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.
