Privacy Policy

NAME

MonoVue privacy — what the MonoVue extension for VS Code and the monovue.dev website do with data.

SUMMARY

MonoVue works on your machine. It does not send your source code to us, and no server of ours ever receives it. The only network call we make is the licence check for paid plans, which sends your licence key and nothing else.

WHO WE ARE

MonoVue is made by [legal entity name], [address] ("we", "us"). We are the controller for the personal data described below. Contact: [contact email].

THE EXTENSION

Your source code

MonoVue reads your workspace configuration and source files to build a package graph. The graph is built in memory when you open a workspace, is never written to disk and is never sent anywhere. It is gone when you close the workspace.

AI features

MonoVue has no AI of its own and no backend that receives code. When you ask @monovue in Copilot Chat, the context pack (the file's own package, the public types of its direct dependencies and how its consumers call it, within your token budget) goes to Copilot through VS Code's Language Model API, under your Copilot account. When you press Copy, the pack goes to your clipboard and you decide where to paste it. If you use your own API key, requests go directly from your machine to that provider, not through us. The terms and privacy policy of the AI provider you choose apply to those requests.

API keys

API keys you give MonoVue are stored only in VS Code's SecretStorage. They are never written to settings, workspace files or logs, and never sent to us.

Untrusted workspaces

In a workspace you haven't marked as trusted, MonoVue only reads files and makes no AI requests.

Licence check

On a paid plan the extension checks your licence with our licence server. This is the only network call we make. It sends your licence key and nothing else; like any web request it also reveals your IP address to the server. The extension keeps working offline for 7 days between checks. The Free plan needs no account.

Telemetry

Telemetry is off by default. If you turn it on, MonoVue sends anonymous usage counts only, never code, file contents or prompts, to a server hosted in the EU. You can turn it off again at any time.

Logs

MonoVue writes what it does to its Output panel in VS Code, on your machine. Those logs never contain your code.

PAYMENTS

If you buy a plan, checkout, billing and VAT are handled by our payment provider, which processes your payment details, billing address and tax information under its own privacy policy. We don't see or store your full card details. We receive what we need to issue and manage your licence: [name, email address, plan, seats and subscription status — to be confirmed once the provider is chosen].

THIS WEBSITE

monovue.dev is a static website. It sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking scripts; fonts are served from monovue.dev itself. Our hosting provider processes standard request data such as IP address and browser type to deliver and protect the site. Links to the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX take you to sites with their own privacy policies.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under the GDPR you can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, restrict or object to its use, or hand it over in a portable format. Write to [contact email]. You can also complain to your data protection authority.

RETENTION

[How long licence and billing records are kept — to be set; billing records are usually kept as long as tax law requires.]

CHANGES

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and describe material changes on monovue.dev.
