# JirAI: Remote Development and privacy

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://edgafner.github.io/llms.txt).

JirAI supports Remote Development: the UI runs in JetBrains Client, while Jira requests and credentials stay on the host.

## What runs where

Client
: The JirAI tool window, dialogs, editors and settings pages.

Host
: Jira requests, credentials, proxy handling and caches.

## Data flow under Remote Development

* The API token you type in the client's sign-in dialog travels to the host once, at sign-in, and is stored there; it is not stored on the client.

* Files you attach are read on the client and streamed to the host, which uploads them to Jira; downloads travel the other way and are saved on the client.

* All Jira requests are made by the host, so the host's proxy settings apply.

* Your issue list filters are stored in the host project; the folder you last saved an attachment to is stored in the client.

JetBrains Marketplace installs JirAI on both sides as needed.

## Privacy

* JirAI has no telemetry, analytics, usage statistics, crash reporting or error submitter.

* Requests that carry your credentials go only to the exact Jira site you signed in to; JirAI refuses any other host, including look-alike hosts, and does not follow redirects on those requests.

* Avatars are loaded over HTTPS, without credentials, from the host that Jira names for them: Atlassian's avatar service or Gravatar.

* Attachments and thumbnails are loaded from your Jira site.

* JirAI bundles no third-party libraries; everything else it uses comes from the IDE.

* Avatars and thumbnails are cached in memory for the current session only.

For what is stored where, see [Where JirAI stores credentials](jirai-sign-in-and-configuration.html#credential-storage).
