Introduction

At ChangeBeaver, we prioritize the security and privacy of your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, and protect your information. By using ChangeBeaver ("we," "us," "our," or "the Service"), you agree to the practices described below.

🔐

Authentication & Security

GitHub OAuth Integration

We use GitHub's OAuth for authentication, which means:

  • You authenticate directly via GitHub OAuth.
  • We never see or store your GitHub password.
  • We only request the minimum permissions needed to read your commits and generate changelogs.
  • You can revoke access at any time via your GitHub account settings.
  • Strict access controls and regular security audits are in place.
  • Your data is never used for advertising or profiling.
  • GitHub data is never transferred to third-party AI tools for developing, improving, or training generalized or personalized AI/ML models without your explicit consent.

  • Repository information, commit messages, and configuration settings you choose for changelog generation.

  • No Third-Party Data Sharing:We do not share, sell, or rent your data to third parties for advertising or marketing.
  • Service Providers:Trusted vendors (hosting, payment, AI processing) may access your data only as needed for operations, and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • Business Transfers:In the event of a merger or acquisition, your data may transfer to the new owner, but will remain protected under this policy.
