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.

What telemetry data does Warp collect and why?

Warp collects high-level usage data (never console input or output) to discover product quality issues and guide feature prioritization. Selling usage data will never be part of Warp's business model. It is used solely to improve the end-user experience.
We use Sentry for crash reporting and Segment for telemetry.
