Atlassian will train on your data: Opt out with GitLab
May 4, 2026Jessica Hurwitz

Summary
This post highlights Atlassian's new policy to collect customer metadata and in-app content from Jira, Confluence, and other cloud products for AI training, which is opt-out by default and mandatory for Free, Standard, and Premium tiers. It contrasts this with GitLab's approach of no data collection and no AI training on customer data, regardless of tier. The post emphasizes GitLab's unconditional data commitments, transparency through its AI Transparency Center and Continuity Plan, and the availability of GitLab Duo Agent Platform for on-premises AI processing. It also mentions IP indemnification for Duo-generated output.
