Data Contribution for AI

[Roy Long]

Why can't I find these options for Data Contribution as mentioned in the How To?

There is no Data Contribution section under Security.

Include in-app data

If your data contribution is set to Off, you can choose to contribute in-app data from specific spaces, Atlassian apps, or Teamwork Graph connectors to improve apps for all customers.

To include in-app data:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.

2. Select Security > Data contribution.

3. Under Include in-app data, select to add data to the table.

4. From the Spaces, Atlassian apps, and the Teamwork Graph connectors tabs, select the in-app data you want to include.

5. Select Include data.

Your selection will be displayed in the table within the Include data section. You can select the More actions (…) icon at any time to change your selection.

Exclude in-app data

If your data contribution is set to On, you can choose to exclude in-app data from specific spaces, Atlassian apps, or Teamwork Graph connectors to control your data contributions.

To exclude in-app data:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.

2. Select Security > Data contribution.

3. Under Exclude in-app data, select to add data to the table.

4. From the Spaces, Atlassian apps, and the Teamwork Graph connectors tabs, select the in-app data you want to exclude.

5. Select Exclude data.

Your selection will be displayed in the table within the Exclude data section. You can select the More actions (…) icon at any time to change your selection.

Hi @Roy Long 

Atlassian made this announcement just now, if you read through this you will find:

"Changes to how Atlassian will use metadata and in-app data to improve apps and experiences for all customers will go into effect on August 17, 2026."

Yes, I saw that. But the documentation pages for disabling this feature are already there and refer to sections that are not there.

I would presume that their instructions would be relevant now ... so I can opt-out while I remember, rather than having to remember this came out three months ago and now I have to set a reminder to keep checking when it's live, so they don't use data from my accounts that I don't be incorporated into their AI training data.

Maybe that's the plan ... communicate early before the feature to opt-out is there, then hope their customer forget and auto opt-in ... 🤷🏼

Either way, annoyings.
