Privacy

An overview of Warp's approach to privacy

Our Philosophy

If you have any questions about any of this, please don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected].
Our philosophy is complete transparency and control of any data leaving your machine. This means you can:
Telemetry and crash reporting are used to improve the product and to debug any issues that may arise. Terminal sessions contain sensitive information, and we want the absolute minimum sent to our servers necessary in order to provide you with the best possible experience.
Telemetry data never includes console input or output and usage of this data will never be part of our business model.
You can view our full privacy policy here.

How to disable telemetry and crash reporting

    Privacy Settings During Signup

Opt-out after signup

    Open the command-palette and search for privacy
  2. 2.
    Toggle the items you want on/off (if it's blue, it's "on")\

Login is still required, why?

The primary reason is that login allows us to build cloud-oriented features that make the terminal have a concept of “your stuff” and “your team’s stuff” – for example Block Sharing. This is the same reason other collaborative apps like Figma and Github require login – identity is the basis of building cloud-native apps.
That said, we understand the desire to try Warp before logging in, and are exploring product experiences that will allow users to preview Warp before signup.
If you have any feedback about our login policy, please send it to this Typeform.

What telemetry data do we collect and why?

We collect usage data (only metadata never console input or output) to measure feature usage, discover product issues, and to help guide what we prioritize. Selling usage data will never be part of our business model, it is used solely to improve the end-user experience.
We use Sentry for crash reporting and Segment for telemetry.
