Winnow Tools

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026. Applies to Notify for Google Chat.

Where the app runs

The app runs entirely on Atlassian's Forge platform, inside Atlassian's own infrastructure. We operate no servers of our own, and no Jira data is copied to any system we control.

What the app reads

When an issue is created, updated or commented on, Atlassian invokes the app with the event. If one of your rules matches, the app reads:

The app requests the Jira scopes read:jira-work and read:jira-user. It has no write access and cannot modify or delete anything in Jira.

What the app sends, and where

The app sends a message to the Google Chat webhook address that a Jira administrator enters in its settings. That message contains the issue fields listed above.

This is the only outbound destination. The app is restricted at the platform level to chat.googleapis.com and cannot contact any other host.

Once a message reaches Google Chat it is governed by Google's terms and by your organisation's own Google Workspace configuration. We have no access to it.

What the app stores

Inside Atlassian's Forge storage, scoped to your site:

Issue content is not stored. Summaries, descriptions and comment text pass through the app and are not retained anywhere.

Retention and deletion

Rules and the delivery log live in Forge storage for as long as the app is installed. Uninstalling the app removes them along with the installation. You can also delete any rule at any time from the settings page.

Sub-processors

We use no other sub-processor. We run no analytics, tracking or telemetry of our own, on this website or in the app.

Your rights

Because the app stores no personal data beyond Atlassian account identifiers used for filtering, requests to access or erase personal data are usually satisfied by uninstalling the app or removing the relevant rule. For anything more specific, write to support@winnowtools.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes and the previous version remains available on request.
