Tinker Creek Engineering

Privacy Policy

Effective November 12, 2026

This policy explains what data Tinker Creek Engineering ("we," "us") handles through our Atlassian Marketplace apps and this website, and how. We design our apps to collect as little data as possible.

Summary

Google Chat for Jira

Data stored by the app

The app stores the following in Atlassian Forge storage for your Atlassian site:

DataPurpose
Google Chat webhook URLsSending messages to your spaces. Stored encrypted as Forge secrets.
Space names and rules (selected events, projects, issue types, priorities, labels)Deciding which updates go where
Delivery log of the 50 most recent sends (time, issue key, event type, space name, success or error)Troubleshooting for your administrators

Data sent to Google Chat

When an issue event matches one of your rules, the app sends a message to the Google Chat space you configured. Depending on the event, it contains the issue key, summary, issue type, project name, status, priority, assignee and actor display names, changed field values, comment text, and a link to the issue. That data is then handled by Google under your organization's agreement with Google.

The app makes no other external network calls.

Our access

We don't routinely access the data the app stores. Atlassian may give us limited operational information, such as error logs and usage metrics, which we use only to operate, support and improve the app. If you contact support, we use what you send us only to resolve your request.

Retention and deletion

You can delete spaces and rules from the app's settings at any time. Deleting a space deletes its stored webhook. The delivery log keeps only the 50 most recent entries. When you uninstall the app, Atlassian removes the app's stored data in line with its Forge data retention practices.

Licensing and billing information

Atlassian handles purchases, billing and payments for our apps. Atlassian shares licensing information with us, such as your organization's name, the license type and term, and billing and technical contacts. We use it to manage licenses, provide support and meet legal and tax obligations. Atlassian's handling of this information is described in the Atlassian Privacy Policy.

Email and support

If you email us, we keep your message and contact details in our business email system (Google Workspace) so we can respond and keep a record of the conversation.

This website

This site is static. It sets no cookies and has no analytics or third-party scripts. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP address and pages requested, for security and reliability.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export personal data about you, or to object to how it is processed. To make a request, email privacy@tinkercreekengineering.com. Because most app data lives in your organization's Atlassian site, we may direct you to your site administrator.

Security

App data stays within Atlassian's Forge platform. Webhook URLs are stored encrypted, and the app requests only the Jira permissions it needs: reading issues and users, and its own storage. To report a vulnerability, email security@tinkercreekengineering.com.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the effective date above. If a change is significant, we'll notify customers through the Marketplace listing or by email.
