Prerun for GitLab: privacy

Last updated: 2026-11-04

The short version

Prerun runs inside your JetBrains IDE and works on your files there. It does not collect, store or send your code, your CI configuration, or anything about how you use it. There is no telemetry, analytics or tracking.

Network requests

Prerun makes network requests only when you click Fetch to resolve remote includes. Those requests go only to the addresses named in your configuration (for include:remote), to gitlab.com for include:template, and to the GitLab instance you configure for include:project and components. Fetched files are cached on your computer so they are not fetched again.

Access tokens

If you give Prerun a GitLab access token so it can read private projects, it is stored in your IDE's password safe and sent only to the GitLab instance you configured. We never see it.

Licences and payments

Pro licences are bought and managed through JetBrains Marketplace. JetBrains handles payment and licensing under its own privacy policy; Prerun asks the IDE whether a licence is present and receives no personal details from it. If JetBrains shares buyer details with us as the vendor (for example for invoices or support), we use them only to support your licence.

Error reports

If the IDE asks you to report an error from Prerun and you choose to send it, the report goes to JetBrains Marketplace, which shows it to us so we can fix the problem. Reports contain the error and stack trace, not your project files.
