New policy from #Atlassian:

Unless you opt out by August 17th 2026, data from Jira and Confluence will automatically be used for AI training. Some data cannot be opted out at all on some plans.

@kepano I'm aware of some healthcare providers using Confluence to store patient data. I'm sure this is all perfectly in line with the spirit of GDPR (or HIPAA).
@elricofmelnibone @kepano I don't aim to defend Atlassian but if you are storing PID on a platform you don't control and not designed for that purposem then the policy change is only part of a much bigger problem.
@blmt I agree, but I don't have control over which platforms people use to store data about me. Unfortunately.

@kepano compared to default-on for all data, not able to opt out from anonymized aggregated metadata sounds not a big deal.

Well, as long you assume it is handled truly as described. But your are trusting them your data to start with, so this again is the least concern.

Okay maybe in the sense that it sets a precedent, that might come for true data as well on free plan eventually.. that would be bad.

@kepano
And that’s where I stop promoting their applications, thank you and goodbye
@kepano Atlassian? The people who made Trello?
fuck...
@CatAClock @kepano just a small correction: the people who bought Trello in 2017.
@CatAClock @kepano Sort of. They didn't make it, but bought it. That was the first sign to stop using it I think.
@simondassow @kepano my school blocked Atlassian for some reason so I couldn't use it at all 
@kepano I’d love to know how they filter out things like API keys, passwords, attachments, screenshots, endpoints, code, and names from accidental leakage
@990000 @kepano Using a very long variable name in the LLM code, like DO_NOT_EXPOSE_API_KEYS_PASSWORDS_ATTACHMENTS_SCREENSHOTS_ETC.
@kepano I do hope my former employer deleted the account they forced on me…

@kepano Rovo's Basilisk

(Atlassian's AI is called Rovo)

@kepano Data used to train AI cannot be unpicked either. So this is a one way street, unless you start over.
@kepano vibe coding my own jira in...
@kepano so glad our company uses a self hosted youtrack instead!
@kepano One day will get us onto @bookstack and @kanboard , confluence and jira are just too much
@kepano Does not apply to customers with BAAs. They are not using our data for training by default
