Data collection policy
Why does Jira collect usage data?
Usage data helps us make educated decisions about improving Atlassian products while also protecting your privacy. We’ll use what we learn to proactively address any potential performance, security, and feature issues.
Sharing usage data is entirely optional. Atlassian won’t gather any usage data unless you choose to participate. You can stop sharing your usage data at any point. More about sharing usage data in Data Center
What data is collected?
You own your data, and you decide what we collect:
Basic data collects performance metrics and instance metadata to monitor security and performance.
Advanced data additionally includes feature usage.
Disabled data sharing means no data is being collected.
The type of data we collect is covered in our Privacy Policy. Please read it, as we've tried to avoid legal jargon and make it as straightforward as possible.

How is data collected from Data Center installations?
Analytics are collected using the Atlassian Analytics app. The app collects analytics events in a log file which is located in the Jira home directory under the analytics-logs sub directory. The logs are periodically uploaded using an encrypted session and then deleted. If the Jira installation is unable to connect to the Internet, no logs are ever uploaded.
