Privacy basics

changAIs is built for local review of AI-generated code changes inside VS Code and compatible editors.

Local Project Data

The extension reads local workspace files and changAIs report data so it can show changed files, diffs, notes, replies, and review state.

Data Sharing

Normal review use is local to the editor. Do not include secrets, private code, customer data, or internal URLs when sending screenshots, logs, or reports for support.

Optional Ask AI

Ask AI is a Pro action you start explicitly. It passes your question, selected-file notes and replies, and diff context to the installed CLI you choose. That CLI may send the context to its configured AI provider and may incur provider charges. Review the content and the CLI's settings before using it. Preparing a prompt only writes a local file and does not send anything automatically.

Optional Product Analytics

Anonymous product analytics is disabled by default and starts only after explicit consent. It does not include source code, file names, workspace paths, report or reply content, license keys, or user and machine identifiers. See the Product Analytics documentation for the event schema and controls.

Support Contact

Support messages may include the details you choose to send, such as changAIs version, editor version, operating system, install method, reproduction steps, screenshots, logs, or report excerpts.
