Privacy Policy – JQL Blocks for Jira

Data Privacy & Security – JQL Blocks for Jira

JQL Blocks for Jira is built by Simplify on the Atlassian Forge platform. Its code and data run on Atlassian’s infrastructure, in your Atlassian site. The app makes no calls outside Atlassian: no data leaves Atlassian, and Simplify has no server that receives it.

What the app reads

• Issues, comments, people, groups, projects, boards and sprints, read from Jira as you, with your own permissions, when you build a search, show results or search comments. You never see more through JQL Blocks than in Jira.
• The sprints of issues, read by the app itself, to fill the sprint fields. What it reads this way is never shown to anyone.

Search results and comment texts are shown in your browser and not stored. CSV exports are made in your browser.

What the app writes in Jira

• The values of its own six fields (Sprint start date, Sprint end date, Sprint complete date, Sprint count, Sprint state, Added after sprint start) on issues that are or were in a sprint. Only JQL Blocks can write them, and they are written without a history line on the issue.
• A Jira filter, only when you press Save as Jira filter — saved as you, shared the way your Jira shares new filters.

What the app keeps (Forge storage, inside your Atlassian site)

• Your saved searches (at most 50), your last search and your chosen result columns, under your Atlassian account ID. A search holds the values you picked — project keys, status names, the account IDs of people you chose — not issue text.
• Searches shared with your team (at most 100), with the account ID of the person who shared them.
• A Jira admin’s settings: which sprint the dates come from and which fields are switched off.
• The sync’s progress: counts, times and error codes.
• The list of accounts the app keeps data for, so that their data can be deleted.

Closed accounts

Every night the app asks Atlassian, through Forge’s personal data reporting, which of these accounts were closed, and deletes their saved searches, last search, columns and shared searches.

Generative AI

The app includes Atlassian’s Forge LLM module for an optional feature that turns a typed sentence into blocks. It is switched off. If it is switched on in a later version, it will receive only the sentence you type and the app’s list of block names — nothing from Jira — and it runs on Atlassian’s own platform.

Data Access & Sharing

• Your data is never shared with third parties, and Simplify cannot access it.
• The app’s logs record only what failed and an error code — never search values, issue or comment text, or account IDs.

Uninstalling

When the app is uninstalled, Atlassian deletes its Forge storage under Atlassian’s Forge data retention. Jira filters you saved stay yours.
