Terms of service

Last updated 11 November 2026

Who we are

TruthTrail is built and run by an independent developer, Dhairya Modh (“we”, “us”). These terms apply when you or your team use the hosted TruthTrail service: the server at truthtrail-server.truthtrail.workers.dev, the GitHub App and the Atlassian app. By using it, you agree to them. If you use it for a company, you agree for that company and confirm you're allowed to.

The truthtrail CLI and its MCP server are MIT-licensed software you run yourself. The MIT license covers them. These terms only cover the hosted service they talk to when you log in.

The service

TruthTrail records product decisions made while coding, posts them on your Jira tickets or GitHub issues, records who confirms or rejects them, and adds a check to GitHub pull requests. What we store and why is in the privacy policy.

Accounts and connections

• You sign in with Atlassian or GitHub. Keep those accounts secure. You're responsible for what happens through your TruthTrail sessions.
• Only connect a Jira site, GitHub organization or repository if you have the right to do so, for example as an admin or with your admin's approval.
• TruthTrail acts with the permissions you or your admin grant. It never asks for your password.

Your content

Decisions, ticket comments and other content you or your team create stay yours. You let us store, process and display them only as needed to run TruthTrail for you: posting them on your tickets, showing them in history, and computing pull request checks. We don't sell your content or use it to train AI models.

You're responsible for what you and your agents record. Don't record secrets, passwords or personal data that doesn't belong in a ticket.

Acceptable use

Don't use TruthTrail to:

• break the law, or the terms of Atlassian or GitHub;
• access sites, repositories or tickets you aren't allowed to;
• overload, probe or attack the service, or get around its limits or security;
• post spam or harmful content through it.

We may limit or suspend access that breaks these rules or puts the service or other users at risk. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you first.

Beta

TruthTrail is a beta. Features may change or be removed, and the service may be unavailable at times. We'll try to give notice before a change that affects how your team works, but we can't promise it every time.

Fees

TruthTrail is free during the beta. Before we charge for anything, we'll announce pricing and give connected teams at least 30 days' notice. Nothing is charged unless your team chooses a paid plan.

Other services

TruthTrail works with Atlassian, GitHub and Cloudflare. Their own terms apply to your use of them. We aren't responsible for their outages or changes, though we'll do our best to keep TruthTrail working with them.

No warranty and liability

TruthTrail is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, as far as the law allows. It's a tool to help your team see and confirm decisions. It doesn't replace your own review, testing or approval process.

As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost data, profits or business, arising from your use of TruthTrail. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the claim. During the free beta, that amount is zero.

Ending

• You can stop using TruthTrail at any time: log out with npx truthtrail logout, uninstall the GitHub App, or remove the app from your Atlassian site.
• To have your team's data deleted, email us. We do it as described in the privacy policy.
• If we shut the service down, we'll give at least 30 days' notice where we can, so you can keep your decisions. Records kept in your repo's .decisions/ folder stay with you.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top. For a significant change, we'll tell connected teams before it takes effect. If you keep using TruthTrail after that, the new terms apply.
