Privacy Policy
1. 🌍 Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Knockd ("the App") processes data when installed from the Atlassian Marketplace and used within Atlassian Cloud products.
Knockd is developed as an Atlassian Forge application and operates exclusively within the Atlassian Cloud infrastructure.
The App:
❌ Does not operate external servers
❌ Does not use third-party hosting
❌ Does not maintain external databases
✅ Processes data only within Atlassian Cloud
Knockd follows a strict privacy-first and minimal data processing approach.
2. 🏢 Data Controller
The entity responsible for Knockd is:
Adviceworx
Email: support@adviceworx.net
For customer data stored within an Atlassian Cloud site, the Atlassian customer (organization / site administrator) remains the data controller.
Knockd acts solely as a technology provider operating within Atlassian’s infrastructure.
3. 📌 Scope of Application
This Privacy Policy applies to:

6. ☁️ Data Storage and Hosting

7. 🤝 Subprocessors

8. 🌐 International Data Transfers
Knockd does not independently initiate cross-border data transfers.
Any international processing is governed solely by Atlassian’s infrastructure and compliance framework.
Customers should consult Atlassian documentation for details regarding data residency and transfer safeguards.
9. 🛡️ Security Measures
Knockd benefits from Atlassian Forge security architecture, including:
🔐 Sandboxed runtime execution
🔒 Encryption in transit (TLS)
🔒 Encryption at rest (managed by Atlassian)
👤 Permission-based access scopes
🔑 Authentication handled by Atlassian Identity Services
Knockd does not expose external APIs or endpoints processing customer data.
10. 🔑 Access Controls
Knockd fully respects Atlassian’s native permission model.
The App only accesses data within granted scopes and respects user-level permissions.
Users cannot access data through Knockd that they are not authorized to access within Atlassian.
11. 🗄️ Data Retention
Knockd does not independently retain customer data.
All processed data remains within the customer’s Atlassian Cloud environment and is subject to the customer’s configured retention policies.
Uninstalling the App removes its access to customer data.
12. 📜 Audit and Logging
Knockd does not maintain independent activity logs containing personal data outside Atlassian systems.
Operational logs, if generated, remain within Atlassian’s Forge environment.
13. 📘 Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Where GDPR applies, processing is based on:
Article 6(1)(b) – Performance of a contract

14. 👤 Data Subject Rights
Where applicable, individuals may have the right to:
Access their personal data
Rectify inaccurate data
Request erasure
