Decisions, sources and session notes are files in .continuity/ in your workspace. Commit that folder to share it with your team. Hackerware does not host your decisions unless you join a Team: Team sync stores the team's shared decisions on Hackerware's server (app.hackerware.com).

The extension sends usage events to PostHog: event names, a random install ID, license tier, extension and VS Code version, OS platform, and trial day. It never sends decision text, file paths, code, email addresses or names.

• Turn it off anytime: VS Code Settings → continuity.analytics.enabled → off.
• Nothing is sent while VS Code's telemetry.telemetryLevel is anything but all, or when the DO_NOT_TRACK=1 environment variable is set.
• After your first handoff, Continuity asks once whether to keep analytics on.

When you activate a license key, Continuity validates it with Lemon Squeezy, Hackerware's licensing provider. It sends the key, this device's activation ID and this device's name, and re-checks about once a day. Trial state is stored on your machine.

If you give the extension your email (for example in the trial-ending prompt), it is sent to Hackerware with your license tier, decision count and install ID, and stored in our analytics system (PostHog).

Webhooks, Jira, Linear and GitHub Issues, and optional AI features (auto-log, quality scoring) call the endpoints or providers you set up. The MCP semantic policy check (governance.semanticCheck) sends tool arguments and related decisions to OpenAI. Slack share sends your session notes to Slack. Cost and savings estimates are computed on your machine.

Tracker credentials are stored in your operating system's keychain. Only when no keychain is available are they kept in a file readable by your user account alone.

• Analytics and ads: getcontinuity.io and app.hackerware.com use Google Analytics and Google Ads tags, which set cookies. If you arrive from a Google ad, the click ID (gclid) is kept in a cookie for 90 days to attribute sign-ups. The home page stores a cookie for 30 days to keep the page version you see consistent.
• Team request form: the name, work email, company, seat count and message you submit are stored in PostHog and in our server logs so we can reply.
• Purchases: checkout runs on Lemon Squeezy, which processes your payment. Hackerware does not receive your card number.
