Our general philosophy is complete transparency and control of any data leaving your machine. This means that in general any data sharing is opt-in and under the control of the user, and you should be able to remove or export that data from our servers at any time.
Terminal sessions obviously contain a bunch of potentially sensitive information and we want the absolute minimum sent to our servers necessary in order to provide you with the best possible experience.
If you have any questions about any of this, please don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected]​
Why is login required for a terminal app?
Login serves two functions now. One is that we think there are features that require login in order to create a better user experience. We believe that the terminal is more powerful when you can share commands with teammates, generate commands using Open AI Codex, or run shared wikis directly in the terminal.
The other is to improve our product during beta because it makes it much easier to reach out and get feedback when something goes wrong.
Looking for another way to login?
Currently we only support logging in with GitHub, Google, and email links. Fill out our Typeform if you're interested in Warp supporting other providers.
Telemetry: What usage data are you collecting and why?
For our public beta, we collect usage data (only metadata never console input or output) to measure feature usage, discover product friction, and improve Warp by guiding what we prioritize. See below for an exhaustive list of the metadata we collect.
When Warp comes out of beta and enters General Availability, telemetry will be opt-in and anonymous.
Please send us feedback about this policy and or sign up to be automatically notified when Warp becomes Generally Available (GA) in our Typeform.
