Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy for Aspect Code.
Last updated: January 2026
Overview
Aspect Code is designed with privacy as a core principle. The extension runs locally and does not transmit your source code.
Free Local Mode
When using the free local extension:
- All processing happens on your machine. Analysis, KB generation, and instruction file creation run entirely within VS Code.
- No source code is transmitted. Your code never leaves your machine in Free Local mode.
- No account required. You can install and use the extension without creating an account or providing any personal information.
- Works offline. After installation, the extension functions without an internet connection.
What We Collect
In Free Local mode, we collect nothing. No telemetry, no usage data, no code snippets.
If you contact us (via email or through enterprise inquiries), we retain that correspondence to respond to your questions.
Enterprise Mode
Enterprise deployments may include optional features like usage analytics or diagnostics. These are configurable and documented separately during enterprise onboarding. No data collection occurs without explicit configuration.
Generated Files
Aspect Code generates markdown files (.aspect/, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/, .github/copilot-instructions.md) that stay in your local repository. You control whether to commit or gitignore these files.
Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties. We do not use your code to train AI models.
Data Deletion
Since we don't collect data in Free Local mode, there's nothing to delete. For enterprise deployments, contact us at asa@aspectcode.com to request data deletion.
Changes
We may update this policy. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
