Jira CLI · Effective June 14, 2026

Jira CLI (the jira command-line tool) is an open-source program that runs entirely on your own computer. It does not collect, transmit, or store your personal data on any server operated by the maintainer.

1. No data collection

The CLI runs locally on your machine. The maintainer operates no backend servers and receives no data from your use of the tool. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, and no advertising.

2. Credentials & local storage

Any credentials you provide, API tokens, personal access tokens, OAuth access/refresh tokens, or passwords, are stored only on your device, in a local configuration file in your home directory (typically ~/.config/jira-cli/config.yaml, created with owner-only 0600 permissions). They are never sent to the maintainer or any third party.

3. Network connections

The CLI makes outbound network requests only to:

Your Atlassian Jira instance, the server you configure, to perform the actions you explicitly request.
GitHub's public API, to check whether a newer release of the CLI is available. This request contains no personal data.
Atlassian's identity service, for the OAuth login flow (Jira only), token exchange happens directly between your device and Atlassian; tokens are returned to and stored on your device.

The maintainer is not a party to, and cannot observe, these connections.

4. Data you access through the tool

When authenticated, the CLI reads and writes data in your Atlassian Jira instance using the permissions you grant, solely to execute the commands you run. That data is shown in your terminal (or written to files you specify) and is not retained, copied, or transmitted anywhere by the maintainer.

5. Third parties

The maintainer does not sell, rent, or share any data. The tool integrates no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. Your use of Atlassian Jira is governed by that service provider's own privacy policy.

6. Children

This tool is a developer utility and is not directed at children under 13.

7. Changes to this policy

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
