## FAQ

### Why do I need to give LinearB permissions to my Git?

LinearB uses Git metadata for its analysis. In order to extract the necessary data for LinearB reports and access real-time data using the Git provider’s API, LinearB needs permissions to the customer’s Git. All the operations that are done by LinearB are read-only actions. At no time does LinearB store or use your code.

### Is LinearB storing my code?

No, LinearB performs a shallow clone of repositories just for the purpose of extracting Git metadata. Once the metadata is processed, the cloned data is immediately deleted.

### Is LinearB looking into my code?

No, LinearB is only using the Git metadata that is available through the .git directory or data accessible via the Git provider API. No code is scanned, analyzed or saved.

### Can I use SSO to log in to LinearB?

LinearB’s app supports Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality, allowing users to log in using their preferred SSO service. We integrate with popular providers like Okta, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Jumpcloud and OneLogin, and any SAML compliant provider.SSO integration simplifies the login process, enhances security, and provides a user-friendly experience.

### Do you have a process for promptly addressing security vulnerabilities or incidents?

Yes, we do. Our process includes proactive measures, an incident response plan, monitoring & alerting, patch management, communication with users, and continuous improvement. Security is a top priority for us.

### How do you handle and protect sensitive customer data?

We prioritize the security and protection of sensitive customer data through measures such as data encryption, strict access control, and compliance with data privacy regulations. Regular security audits, employee training, and a well-defined incident response plan further enhance our data protection practices. Our commitment to maintaining the highest security standards ensures the confidentiality and integrity of customer data throughout our systems and processes.
