We use a small number of cookies to keep you signed in and, with your permission, to understand how the product is used so we can improve it. See our privacy policy.
We collect as little as we can, keep it as safe as we know how, and tell you exactly who else touches it.

We collect the minimum we need to run Releasedog: your account details, the release notes you publish, and some usage data to keep the service reliable. We don't sell your data. We don't advertise to you. We use a small set of reputable subprocessors to run the product.
If anything below raises a question, email privacy@releasedog.com and a human will reply within one business day.
Account data. Your email, name, hashed password (if you use password sign-in), and the workspace you belong to.
Content. Release notes, changelogs, and metadata you create inside Releasedog. This is yours — we store it so we can show it to the people you publish to.
Integration data. If you connect Jira, GitHub, or similar tools, we pull the tickets and commits you ask us to. We only request scopes we need.
Usage data. Basic product analytics — pages visited, features used, error traces. We use this to find bugs and make the product better.
Billing data. Handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
We use your data to:
We don't train AI models on your content. We don't sell your data to third parties. We don't show you ads.
We keep your account data while your account is active. If you close your account, we delete your data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal or tax reasons (typically up to 7 years for billing records).
Encrypted backups are retained for 30 days. Deleted content is removed from those backups as they age out.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You can do most of this from inside your workspace settings. For anything else, email privacy@releasedog.com and we'll respond within 30 days.
If you're in the EU or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We hope you'll email us first.
We use TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, rotate credentials, and follow the principle of least privilege for production systems. More detail on the security page.
If we ever have a breach that affects you, we'll notify you without undue delay and in line with applicable law.
Releasedog is hosted in the United States. If you're using the service from outside the US, your data is transferred to and processed in the US. We rely on standard contractual clauses with our subprocessors to protect data transferred out of the EU, UK, and other regions with similar rules.
Releasedog is not intended for anyone under 16. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.
If we make material changes to this policy, we'll notify account owners by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Minor updates (wording, typos, clarifications) will be reflected here with a new "last updated" date.
