Effective Date: Mar 1, 2025
At DevSamurai, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use AgileBox, an app designed to enhance Agile workflows within Slack. By using AgileBox, you also agree to Slack’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which may apply to data controlled by Slack.
What Data We Collect
When you use AgileBox, we may collect the following types of data:
-
User Identifiers: Your Slack user ID.
-
Workspace Information: Your Slack workspace ID.
-
Agile Ceremony Data: Information generated from Agile activities facilitated by AgileBox, such as estimates from planning poker, feedback from retrospectives, and responses from daily standups.
-
Usage Data: Details about how you interact with AgileBox, including how often you use the app and which features you access.
-
Incidental Data: Data received through interactions within Slack, such as user IDs when accessing the Slack App homepage or system log data. This data is used solely to enable AgileBox’s functionality and is retained only as long as necessary.
We aim to collect only the data required to provide and improve AgileBox’s services.
How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect to:

Your data is used solely for these purposes and to ensure the app operates effectively within Slack.
Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide AgileBox’s services and meet our legal or business obligations. Specifically:
-
Your data is kept while AgileBox is installed in your Slack workspace.
-
After you remove AgileBox from your workspace, we retain your data for up to 90 days, unless a longer period is required by law (e.g., for legal or regulatory compliance).
Once this retention period ends, your data is securely deleted, except where retention is mandated by applicable laws.

You have control over your personal data. You may:
-
Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
-
Transfer: Ask for your data to be provided in a portable format.
-

For data controlled by Slack (e.g., your Slack profile information), please refer to Slack’s Privacy Policy and manage it through Slack’s settings.
Security Measures
We take your data security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect it, including:
-
Encryption: Data is encrypted both in transit (when sent between systems) and at rest (when stored).
-
Access Controls: Only authorized DevSamurai personnel can access your data, and access is restricted to what’s necessary for providing and maintaining AgileBox.
These safeguards help ensure your information remains secure while you use AgileBox.
Third-Party Services
We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who help us deliver AgileBox’s features. Examples include:
-
Cloud Hosting Providers: To store and process data securely.
-
Integration Partners: Such as Atlassian (for Jira integration), if applicable to your use of AgileBox.
These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and may only use your data to support AgileBox services. We do not sell or share your data for unrelated purposes.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or app functionality. When we do:
-
The updated policy will be posted on our website with a revised effective date.
-
We’ll notify you of significant changes through Slack or other appropriate channels.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
