"When you use Amp Free Mode, we may perform periodic, automated keyword searches of your files, codebase, or data sources that you have connected to Amp in order to deliver context-specific advertisements to you. No personal data will be collected or processed during a keyword search. Data access is moment-in-time, on a per-advertisement basis, and is not ongoing.
