Watchers Admin for Confluence — Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Watchers Admin for Confluence ("the app") does with data when it is installed on an Atlassian Confluence Cloud site.
Where the app runs
The app is built on Atlassian Forge. Its code runs on Atlassian's infrastructure and it stores data only in Forge storage, which Atlassian hosts. The app does not call any server outside Atlassian: it declares no external network access. We do not receive, copy or host your Confluence data.
What the app reads
When a Confluence administrator uses the app, it reads through the Confluence API:
- the list of pages and blog posts (ID, title, space) and the watchers of each, to find what a chosen user watches;
- the people who watch a chosen page or blog post (account ID and display name);
- group names, and the account IDs of a chosen group's members;
- whether the person using the app is a Confluence administrator.
This information is shown on the admin screen. It is not stored, except as described below.
What the app stores, and for how long
When you pick a person in the By user tab, the app checks every page and blog post in the background and stores, for that check: the person's account ID, counters, and the ID, type, title and space key of each page or blog post they watch.
To run a bulk change in the background, the app stores the list of changes to make in Forge storage:
- for each change: the page or blog post ID, the Atlassian account ID of the person whose watch is added or removed, and whether the watch is added or removed;
- for the operation: the account ID of the administrator who started it, progress counters, start and end times, and up to 20 failed changes (page or blog post ID, error code and reason, without any account ID).
Each batch of changes is deleted as soon as it has been processed. Everything the app stores expires automatically one day after it was last updated.
The app does not store names, email addresses, page content or comments. Page and blog post titles are kept only with a check, and expire with it.
Logs
Forge keeps app logs on Atlassian's infrastructure. The app's log messages contain page and blog post IDs, HTTP status codes and counters. They do not contain account IDs, names or email addresses.
Sharing
We do not sell or share any data. The only parties that process data for the app are Atlassian, which hosts Forge, and your own Confluence site. Atlassian's handling of data is described in the Atlassian Privacy Policy: https://www.atlassian.com/legal/privacy-policy
Your choices
- Only Confluence administrators can use the app.
- Uninstalling the app stops all processing.
- For any question or request about your data, contact support@wooddyviat.com.
Changes
We will update this page if the app's handling of data changes, and change the effective date above.
