When you sign in with GitHub, Relay receives your GitHub username, email address, and an access token scoped to the repositories you connect. We store this information to authenticate you and fetch pull request data on your behalf.
For each connected repository, Relay reads merged pull request metadata: titles, descriptions, authors, merge dates, and changed file lists (filenames and basic file-level stats like additions/deletions). Relay does not read your source code, diffs, issues, or any data outside the repositories you explicitly connect.
Your PR metadata is used for one purpose: generating plain-English summaries of what your team shipped. These summaries are delivered to the email recipients you configure and displayed on your Relay dashboard.
We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising. We do not train AI models on your data.
Relay uses the following third-party services to operate:
Your account data and generated summaries are retained as long as your account is active. If you disconnect a repository, its PR data and summaries are deleted. If you want your account and associated data deleted, contact us using the methods below and we will delete it.
GitHub access tokens are stored securely and access is strictly limited. All communication between Relay and third-party services uses TLS encryption. Our infrastructure runs on a private Kubernetes cluster that is not directly exposed to the internet.
If you have questions about this policy, open an issue on our GitHub repository or email the team at the address listed there.
