If you are located in the United Arab Emirates, please refer to our UAE Privacy Notice.
IT Doggy ("we", "us", or "our") is operated by Tesseract Labs Limited in Hong Kong SAR. We provide an AI-powered virtual developer service designed to complement your existing development team, connecting your GitHub repositories and Linear workspace to automated code-generation agents.
This Privacy Notice explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is aligned with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) (" PDPO").
Authentication Data, Integration Data, Configuration Data and Transient Processing Data
- Service operation — Authenticating you, managing integrations, and routing requests to the correct repositories and teams.
- AI code generation — Sending issue context to AI providers so agents can analyse requirements and generate code on your behalf.
- Integration management — Connecting your GitHub and Linear accounts and keeping mappings up to date.
- Error diagnostics — Logging sanitised error messages (with secrets redacted) to diagnose and fix issues.
We share data with the following third-party services solely to operate IT Doggy:
- GitHub — OAuth authentication, GitHub App installation, and repository access for code operations.
- Linear — OAuth authentication, webhook events, and issue management.
- Hosting and Cloud Platforms — Authentication, hosting, cloud compute, cloud database, and cloud logging.
- AI model providers — Issue context is sent to AI provider APIs for code generation
- Data is stored in cloud databases and platorms with strong security practices and compliance certifications.
- A zero-trust egress firewall (default-deny) restricts outbound network access to approved endpoints only.
- Webhook payloads are verified using HMAC-SHA256 signature verification.
- Secrets and credentials are redacted from all error logs.
- Reliable authentication services secure user identity and session management.
Your account and configuration data are retained for as long as your account is active. Transient processing data (e.g. issue content sent to AI agents) is held only in memory during execution and is not persisted.
When you delete your account or remove team mappings via the dashboard, associated data is removed through cascading deletes in our database.
Under the Hong Kong PDPO, you have the right to:
- Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction — Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Deletion — Delete your account and associated data through the dashboard or by contacting us.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.
IT Doggy does not use tracking or advertising cookies. We use cookies and local storage only for essential functionality to operate the service and maintain user sessions.
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the portal. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
