CODVIAN Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 19, 2026

CODVIAN (“CODVIAN”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is handled when you use the CODVIAN website, desktop application, documentation, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we may process, how that information is used, when information may be shared with third-party services, and the choices available to you. By using CODVIAN, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We May Process

Depending on how you use CODVIAN, we may process different categories of information.

Account and Authentication Information

When you create or access a CODVIAN account, we may receive information associated with your authentication provider, such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Profile information provided by the authentication service
  • Account identifiers
  • Authentication and session information

CODVIAN currently uses third-party authentication services to provide account authentication. Where you use Google authentication, authentication is handled through the applicable authentication provider and its associated services.

Project and Workspace Information

CODVIAN is designed to work directly with software projects on your computer. Depending on the permissions you grant and the actions you request, CODVIAN may access information such as:

  • Project files
  • Source code
  • Folder structures
  • Configuration files
  • Documentation
  • Logs
  • Screenshots
  • Build output
  • Development-related information

The information available to CODVIAN depends on the workspace, files, permissions, and actions you provide or authorize. You remain responsible for determining what information is present in your projects and what information you choose to provide to CODVIAN or external services.

Local-First Design

CODVIAN is designed as a desktop-first, local-first development tool. Where functionality is performed locally, relevant project information can remain on your computer rather than being automatically transmitted to CODVIAN servers.

However, local processing does not mean that no information can ever leave your device. For example, when you intentionally use a hosted AI model or another external service, information required to perform that request may be transmitted to the service you have selected.

You should review the privacy and data-handling practices of any third-party service before sending sensitive information.

AI Model Providers

CODVIAN can work with supported AI model providers. When you connect or use an external AI provider, information may be sent to that provider depending on:

  • The model you select
  • The provider configuration
  • The prompt or task
  • Files or attachments included in the request
  • The tools or workflows used
  • The provider API behavior

This may include source code, project context, prompts, attachments, screenshots, logs, or other information required to process your request. Third-party AI providers operate independently of CODVIAN — their processing, retention, and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies and terms. Before connecting a provider, you should review the provider applicable privacy and data-retention policies.

Information Sent Through Agent Workflows

CODVIAN can perform multi-step development workflows based on your instructions. Depending on the task and permissions granted, an agent workflow may interact with:

  • Local files
  • Project directories
  • Terminal commands
  • Development tools
  • Git repositories
  • Browser-based workflows
  • Screenshots
  • Other enabled tools

The information processed during these workflows depends on the task you initiate and the permissions you provide. You should avoid providing unnecessary sensitive information and should review agent actions when working with confidential or production data.

Files, Source Code, and Sensitive Information

CODVIAN is intended for software development and may be used with source code and other project information. You should not provide or expose information that you are not authorized to share. This includes, where applicable:

  • Passwords
  • API keys
  • Access tokens
  • Private credentials
  • Customer information
  • Financial information
  • Confidential business information
  • Private repository credentials
  • Other sensitive information

CODVIAN website and support channels will never ask you to provide passwords, API keys, or authentication secrets through ordinary support requests.

Usage and Product Information

We may process information necessary to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Services. Depending on the functionality you use, this may include information such as:

  • Account activity
  • Product configuration
  • Model/provider configuration
  • Feature usage
  • Error information
  • Diagnostic information
  • Application version
  • Support requests
  • Information you voluntarily provide to us

The specific information processed may vary depending on the version of CODVIAN and the services you use.

Usage and Model Information

CODVIAN may display or process usage information related to AI model interactions, depending on the provider and functionality being used. This may include information such as:

  • Selected provider
  • Selected model
  • Request activity
  • Usage statistics
  • Token or consumption information where supplied by the provider
  • Session or task information

Provider-specific usage information may also be governed by the provider own terms and privacy practices.

Authentication Services

CODVIAN uses third-party authentication infrastructure to provide account authentication and session management. For example, CODVIAN may use Clerk and Google authentication services. These services may process information necessary to authenticate your account and maintain your authenticated session.

Authentication providers operate under their own privacy policies and terms. You should review the applicable privacy policies of the authentication providers you use.

Information We Receive When You Contact Us

If you contact CODVIAN through our support or contact channels, we may receive information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Support request
  • Product information
  • Technical details
  • Screenshots
  • Logs or diagnostic information
  • Other information included in your message

We may use this information to respond to your request, troubleshoot problems, investigate reported issues, improve documentation, improve the Services, and communicate with you about your request. Please remove passwords, API keys, access tokens, private repository URLs, and other sensitive information before submitting logs or screenshots.

How We Use Information

Information processed through the Services may be used for purposes including:

  • Providing and operating CODVIAN
  • Authenticating users
  • Maintaining accounts and sessions
  • Processing requested AI workflows
  • Providing requested features
  • Responding to support requests
  • Troubleshooting technical issues
  • Maintaining application functionality
  • Improving documentation and product experience
  • Detecting and addressing technical or security issues
  • Communicating important service information
  • Complying with applicable legal obligations

We do not use your project information for purposes beyond those reasonably necessary for the Services unless otherwise disclosed or authorized.

Third-Party Services

CODVIAN may integrate with or allow you to connect third-party services. Depending on the features you use, these may include:

  • Authentication providers
  • AI model providers
  • Cloud services
  • Browser-based services
  • Developer tools
  • Other integrations you explicitly configure

When you use a third-party service, that service may process information independently of CODVIAN. Your use of such services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

Data Sharing

CODVIAN may share or transmit information when necessary to provide functionality you explicitly request. For example, information may be transmitted to an AI provider when you submit a request using that provider. We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide requested services
  • Operate supporting infrastructure
  • Respond to lawful requests
  • Protect the security and integrity of the Services
  • Investigate abuse or security incidents
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations
  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of CODVIAN, users, or others

We do not represent that every interaction with a third-party service is controlled by CODVIAN.

Data Retention

The amount of time information is retained depends on the type of information, how it was collected, the purpose for which it is used, and the applicable service provider. Different information may therefore have different retention periods. Third-party providers may independently retain information according to their own policies and contractual terms.

Where a specific retention period is required or applicable, CODVIAN may provide additional information in the relevant product documentation or service terms.

Data Security

CODVIAN takes reasonable measures designed to protect information handled through its Services. Security also depends on how the product and third-party services are configured and used. Users should:

  • Keep authentication credentials secure
  • Avoid storing secrets in project files
  • Review provider permissions
  • Review agent actions
  • Avoid sharing sensitive information unnecessarily
  • Keep software and operating systems updated
  • Use appropriate access controls for development projects

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Responsibilities

Because CODVIAN can interact with local development environments, you are responsible for deciding what information you make available to the application. You should:

  • Only provide information you are authorized to use
  • Review permissions before granting access
  • Avoid exposing secrets unnecessarily
  • Review third-party provider policies
  • Verify AI-generated code and changes
  • Maintain appropriate backups of important projects
  • Follow the security requirements of your organization

CODVIAN is a development tool and should not be treated as a substitute for your organization security, compliance, or data-governance policies.

Cookies and Website Technologies

The CODVIAN website may use cookies or similar technologies where required to provide website functionality, authentication, preferences, security, or other website features. If analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies are introduced, this Privacy Policy and applicable cookie disclosures will be updated to accurately describe those technologies.

Children Privacy

CODVIAN is intended for users who are able to use software development tools and services in accordance with applicable law. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to CODVIAN in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact us.

International Use

CODVIAN may be accessed by users in different countries. Depending on the services and third-party providers you use, information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. Third-party providers may have their own international data-transfer and processing practices. You should review the applicable policies of the providers you connect to CODVIAN.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include, where applicable:

  • Requesting access to personal information
  • Requesting correction of inaccurate information
  • Requesting deletion of certain information
  • Requesting information about processing
  • Objecting to certain processing
  • Requesting restriction of processing
  • Exercising other rights provided by applicable law

Requests can be submitted through support@codvian.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. The availability of particular rights depends on applicable law and the circumstances of the request.

Account Deletion

If CODVIAN provides account deletion functionality, you may use the available account controls to request deletion. If account deletion cannot be completed through the application, you may contact support@codvian.com.

Some information may need to be retained where required by law, necessary to resolve disputes, prevent abuse, maintain security, or otherwise permitted by applicable law. Third-party providers may retain information independently according to their own policies.
