Privacy policy: Personal WIP Limits

Last updated: 11 October 2026

This policy explains what data the app “Personal WIP Limits for Jira” (the app), published by Kayabyte, the trading name of Caner Kaya, Stasjonsveien 64, Oslo, Norway, processes when it is installed on an Atlassian Cloud site.

What the app does

The app lets Jira admins set a limit on how many work items each person may have in progress. A workflow rule checks the limit when a work item moves into an In Progress status, and an admin page shows work in progress per person.

Data the app stores

The app stores only its settings, in Atlassian Forge hosted storage on the customer’s Atlassian site: whether checks are on, the limit, whether work is counted across all projects or per project, project limits (project ID, key and name) and exempt groups (group ID and name).

The app does not store work items, account IDs, names, email addresses or any other personal data.

Data the app reads but does not store

To check a limit, the app reads the work item’s assignee, project and status, the statuses involved in the transition, the number of work items the assignee has in progress, the assignee’s display name (for the message) and, if exempt groups are set, the assignee’s groups. The admin page reads the work items in progress and their assignees’ names for the overview, project and group names for the search fields, and whether the person using it is a Jira admin. This data is used during processing and is not kept.

Where data is processed

All processing happens on Atlassian’s Forge platform. The app makes no calls to servers outside Atlassian, and no data is sent to Kayabyte or to any third party.

Retention and deletion

Settings are kept while the app is installed. When the app is uninstalled, its Forge storage is deleted by Atlassian in line with Atlassian’s Forge data retention rules. Customers can also ask us to confirm deletion by contacting support.

Logs

For troubleshooting, the app writes operational logs on the Forge platform containing API status codes and endpoint names, with IDs left out. These logs are kept by Atlassian under its Forge log retention rules.
