Work Type Gate for Jira: Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

This policy explains what data the Work Type Gate for Jira app (“the app”) handles and how. The app is published by Joe Simo (“we”). Contact: joesimo@mail.grokbot.com.

Where the app runs

The app is built on Atlassian Forge and runs entirely on Atlassian’s infrastructure. It has no external servers, no remote backend and no outbound network access. We, the publisher, cannot see or download your Jira content or anything the app stores. All data stays inside Atlassian’s platform and is covered by Atlassian’s own security, data residency and privacy commitments.

Data the app reads

To do its job the app reads, through the Jira API: - the project’s work types, project roles and the rules saved by project admins; - group names and IDs, and users found when an admin searches for a group or a person; - whether the person using the settings page is a project admin; - when someone creates a work item, Jira checks the creator’s groups and project roles, the work type and, for sub-tasks, the parent’s work type.

The app does not read work item summaries, descriptions, comments, attachments or other fields.

Data the app stores

Rules are stored in a Jira project property in your site (work type IDs, group IDs and names, project role IDs, allowed parent work types, your message and two switches). The app keeps no other storage of its own. When the app is uninstalled, Atlassian handles the data according to the Forge data retention policy.

Data we collect

None. The app sends no analytics, telemetry or tracking data to us or to any third party, and it uses no cookies.

Sharing

We do not sell, share or transfer any data. We have no access to it.

Support requests

If you email us for support, we use your email and anything you choose to send only to answer you. Please do not send personal data or work item content that we do not need.

Children

The app is a business tool and is not directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and the copy linked from the Marketplace listing.
