The retention period is open-ended and tied to active contractual obligations, meaning personal data is not deleted on a fixed schedule but persists as long as the service relationship requires it.
The updated policy establishes explicit definitions for 15+ categories of personal data Sourcegraph collects, including Analytics Data, Usage Data, Device and Connection Data, and AI feature usage patterns. Previously, the policy described data collection more generically; the revised language now specifies that Sourcegraph collects feature interaction data, user identifiers, prompt metadata, deployment information, and system configuration data. The policy clarifies that Sourcegraph acts as a Data Controller when collecting data directly from users and as a Data Processor when handling customer data under customer agreements. You can review the detailed definitions section to understand what specific data categories are collected and how they are used.
