Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2025

Shellway ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information we collect

We collect:

  • Account information — your email address and name when you register.
  • Usage metadata — the number of AI turns used per session, session timestamps, and CLI version. We do not store the content of your shell sessions or AI conversations.
  • Payment information — processed by Razorpay or Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.
  • Device metadata — operating system and CLI version, collected on first install to help with compatibility.

2. What we do NOT collect

  • Shell command output, file contents, or environment variable values.
  • The text of messages you send to the AI.
  • The text of AI responses.
  • Credentials, API keys, or secrets of any kind.

Context you share with the AI during a session is relayed to our inference provider (Anthropic) for that inference only and is not logged or retained by Shellway.

3. How we use your information

We use account and usage data to provide and improve the service, enforce plan limits, send transactional emails (password reset, receipts), and detect abuse. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

4. Third-party services

AnthropicAI inference provider. Context sent per request; not retained.
Razorpay / StripePayment processing. Governed by their own privacy policies.
CloudflareDDoS protection and DNS. Processes request metadata.
PostmarkTransactional email delivery.

5. Data retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. Usage metadata is aggregated and anonymized after 90 days. You may request deletion of your account at any time by emailing privacy@getshellway.com.

6. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, object to its processing, or request a copy in a portable format. Contact us at privacy@getshellway.com to exercise these rights.

7. Security

Data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3. Account credentials are stored as salted bcrypt hashes. We conduct periodic security reviews and promptly disclose significant vulnerabilities affecting user data.

8. Children

Shellway is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Changes to this policy

We will notify registered users by email of any material changes to this policy at least 14 days before they take effect.
