Privacy Policy — Kanbee
Last updated: 2026-07-01
Kanbee is an Atlassian Forge app for Jira Cloud that displays Work in Progress
(WIP) analytics for your projects. This policy describes what data Kanbee
accesses, stores, and how it is handled.
What data Kanbee accesses
Kanbee runs entirely within Atlassian's infrastructure (Forge) and acts on
behalf of the user viewing the dashboard (asUser context) — it never sees
more than that user is already permitted to see in Jira.
To build WIP analytics, Kanbee reads from your Jira project:
- Issue statuses and their categories (To Do / In Progress / Done)
- Issue types (e.g. Story, Bug, Task)
- Issue keys, titles (summary), creation/update timestamps
- Issue status change history (changelog), used to reconstruct historical WIP trends
Kanbee does not request access to user profile data, email addresses,
or account identities. The app's permission scopes are limited to
read:jira-work (project/issue data) and storage:app (Kanbee's own cache).
What data Kanbee stores
Kanbee uses Forge Storage — a data store provided and hosted by Atlassian,
physically located in your product's configured data residency region — to cache:
- Aggregated daily WIP counts (numbers only, no issue-level detail) for up
to 42 days, used to render historical WIP charts
- Issue key, title, type, and completion date for issues completed in the
last 42 days, used to render Cycle Time, Throughput, and Lead Time charts
- Issue titles, keys, status, and type for issues currently in progress,
cached for up to 1 hour, used to render the "Status breakdown" and "Longest sitting" sections
Issue titles are customer content set by your team — if a title happens to
contain a person's name, that text is cached for at most 1 hour as part of
this feature. Kanbee does not extract, store, or process names, emails, or
any other personal identifiers on their own.
What Kanbee does not do
- No data leaves Atlassian's infrastructure — Kanbee makes no requests to any third-party server
- No analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs
- No cookies set by Kanbee itself (Jira's own session cookies apply as usual)
Data retention & deletion
- Historical snapshots are kept for 42 days and aged out automatically every night
- All Kanbee data for your site is removed from Forge Storage when the app is uninstalled
- To request earlier deletion of cached data, contact us (see below) and we will clear it on request
