Version March 2025
General

This privacy and cookies statement ("Statement") is applicable to all products, services and activities from Bosun B.V., located in Utrecht, the Netherlands, registered in the chamber of commerce under number 96839651. Bosun B.V. is responsible for the processing of your personal data. In this statement is described how your personal data is processed, and to which ends this data is processed.

By using Bosun, you agree with the following conditions. If you do not agree with this statement, you are requested not to use Bosun.

Processing personal data

Below you can find an overview of how Bosun processes personal data, for what purposes, on what legal basis, and for how long.

Connecting your GitHub/GitLab account and creating/managing your Bosun account

Bosun allows you to connect your GitHub and/or GitLab account so we can provide our service (automating software maintenance based on the code in your repositories). We use your account information to authenticate you, display your profile, link the correct organizations, and provide access to the Bosun application. This processing is necessary for the performance of the agreement with you (the provision of Bosun).

Categories of personal data
  • Account data: e-mail address, avatar image, user ID/username, profile name, profile URL. Retrieved from GitHub and/or GitLab when you connect your account.
  • Organization data: organization ID/name, member lists, roles (admin/member), repository metadata (name, visibility, programming language, size, last push date). Retrieved from GitHub and/or GitLab when you connect your account.
  • Repository content: source code files and related metadata in repositories to which you have granted Bosun access. This data is processed to provide Bosun's core service.

Legal basis: performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Retention period: your account data and related organizational/repository data are retained for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, your account data is deleted within 30 days. Repository content processed for automation purposes is not persistently stored; it is only held temporarily as required to complete each automation task.

Customer support and communication

We process personal data when you contact us for support or when we send service-related communications (e.g., important product updates, transactional emails).

  • E-mail address, profile name: Used to communicate with you.

Legal basis: performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and/or legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) (efficient customer support and service improvement).

Retention period: deleted upon request where applicable (and in any event aligned with the deletion timelines above where the data is part of your account).

Security, abuse prevention, and service reliability

We process certain technical data to secure Bosun, prevent abuse and fraud, and maintain stable operations (e.g., debugging and incident handling). We do not store IP addresses in our logs.

  • Usage and access logs: timestamps, user agent information, access logs. Used for security monitoring and troubleshooting.
  • Error logs: Used to detect and fix issues and ensure reliability.

Legal basis: legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) (security, fraud prevention, and service reliability).
