Summary

This is Sourcegraph's privacy policy covering how the company collects and uses personal information when you use its website, Cody AI assistant, Amp coding tool, and related services. The policy discloses that when you use Amp Free Mode (the free tier), Sourcegraph performs automated keyword scans of your files and connected codebases to serve you relevant advertisements from Advertising Partners, though it states scan results are not retained or shared with advertisers. If you want to avoid advertisement-driven keyword scanning of your code, you should use a paid Sourcegraph plan rather than the free Amp Free Mode tier.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Sourcegraph, Inc.'s Privacy Policy (last modified October 15, 2025), governing personal information collected through the company's website and products, excluding Customer Personal Data processed under separate customer agreements. The policy states that Sourcegraph collects account information (username, password, email), profile information, log data (IP address, browser type, date and time of use, cookie data), device data, location data derived from IP address, usage analytics tied to internally-generated user IDs, and event analytics including click patterns and feature utilization frequency; the policy also authorizes automated keyword scanning of files, codebases, and connected data sources for users of Amp Free Mode in order to deliver targeted advertisements. The Amp Free Mode advertising mechanism is operationally distinct from commonly observed developer tool privacy practices, in that the policy states Sourcegraph performs periodic automated keyword searches of user files and connected data sources for advertisement placement, while asserting that no personal data is collected or retained from these scans and that scan results are not shared with Advertising Partners. The policy identifies GDPR legal bases (contract performance, legitimate interests, and consent) and references California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other US state privacy laws, as well as EU data subject rights. Compliance teams should note that the policy explicitly carves out Customer Personal Data from its scope, meaning enterprise customers operating under separate data processing agreements are subject to different frameworks, and that the Amp Free Mode advertising model may require evaluation under applicable consumer protection and privacy regulations depending on user jurisdiction.
