I'm considering installing a third-party plugin inside IntelliJ IDEA to add support for another programming language. I have to accept the following message. What access to my personal data does the developer of the plugin get?

The vendor is a single person and he does not provide information regarding data processing.

Not sure if this helps, but JetBrains mentions at the end, in the User Agreement that

  • 2.14. "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

JetBrains further explains what personal data means to them in Personal Data and Why We Collect Data and What We Collect.

Jetbrains how ever explicitly states in this section THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE, that it will not be held responsible for Third party software.

  • So, "7.2. For the above purposes, JetBrains may collect, among other things, your IP address, JetBrains Account username, JetBrains Account password, first name, last name, email address, and subscription information." Does it make sense though that they get the password? – Sudix Oct 26 '19 at 10:39

    @Sudix the p/w doesn't really matter since it would be salted and obfuscated to the holder (they see the hash, not the real p/w). What bothers me is that they have my personal email, which would ID you throughout the internet and build a profile on that. Nothing new, yet very concerning with the current geo political scenery atm. – clusterBuddy Mar 18 '21 at 18:32
