Personal data protection
There are several regulations that are enforced by various governing bodies that define rules for the protection of personal data. One of the latest is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation applies to the storage and processing of information that can be used to identify an individual, whether directly or indirectly.
Due to GDPR, users can download their personal data and request to erase it.
Types of personal data
Since the License Vault requires authorization through JetBrains Hub, it collects some personal data. Moreover, due to this integration data is collected by both License Vault and JetBrains Hub.
The License Vault itself stores the end user's information:
username(login email),IP addresses,machine ID, andOS hostname. It also stores some usage statistics:product codes,versions,build numbersandallocated licensesstatistics to make reports.JetBrains Hub collects some personal data to identify users, specifically
full name,login,email address, and other user information. To view the full list with descriptions, see Personal Data in Hub. Some data stored in JetBrains Hub is also connected to the License Vault directly, namelygroup memberships.
Data access and encryption
License Vault Databases are only available within a trusted subnet without public access. Access is controlled by IAM policies.
We encrypt data both at rest and in transit.
Data at rest is stored in an encrypted RDS instance on AWS. Backups and snapshots are also stored using AWS services and encrypted. To find more information on RDS encryption, see Amazon documentation regarding this topic.
When data is in transit between application code and RDS instances, it is also encrypted. We use SSL connections to ensure security, plain unsecure connections are prohibited.

Your IDE, .NET tool, or plugin only establishes temporary connections to License Vault.
License Vault connects to the following resources:
