What kimu knows about you.

Last updated: May 2026.

Short version

kimu reads issues, comments, and metadata from the GitHub repositories you connect. It does not read your code. It stores classification results so it can show you a digest. You can delete everything at any time.

What we collect

  • Your GitHub username, avatar, email (verified), and access token.
  • Issues, pull request metadata, comments, and labels for repositories you connect.
  • Computed signals: classification, priority, response times, contributor counts.
  • Your interactions with kimu (which issues you click, which you dismiss).

What we don't collect

  • Repository code or file contents.
  • Private GitHub data from repositories you haven't connected.
  • Anything from your browser beyond what's needed to keep you signed in.

Where it lives

Postgres database hosted in the United States. Backups encrypted at rest. We use a third-party LLM provider to classify issues; only the issue title, body, and labels are sent.

Deleting your data

Delete your account from settings and everything kimu has stored about you and your repositories will be purged within 30 days.
