How StorySizer collects, uses, and protects personal data.
Effective date: 27 April 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how StorySizer ("StorySizer", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use the StorySizer web application (the "Service"). StorySizer is a tool designed to support the estimation of user stories in story points through a guided questionnaire intended to help users rely on more objective parameters rather than rough intuition.

StorySizer is currently offered free of charge and is intended to be open source. This does not affect your privacy rights, but it does mean the Service may evolve over time, and this Privacy Policy may be updated as features change.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on the website and update the effective date above. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective means you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
