What the hosted service stores
- The public GitHub repos you submit, and the graphs built from them: names, paths, line numbers and labels. Source code is not stored; snippets are loaded from GitHub in your browser.
- Job records: repo, commit, status and timing.
- A salted hash of your IP address, used only for rate limiting. Raw IP addresses are not stored.
- Reports you send with "Report wrong edge": the element ID and your optional note.
- Shared maps from
evident share: graph metadata only, no code, deleted when the link expires.
What it never stores
- Environment variable values. Evident reads variable names only.
- Private repositories. Only public GitHub URLs are accepted.
- Cookies or tracking identifiers. The theme choice stays in your browser's local storage.
Third parties
Node IDs, types, labels and paths (never file contents) may be sent to Groq to suggest groups. Your browser loads code snippets directly from GitHub. The site is hosted on Vercel and the API on a single server we run.
The CLI and the Claude skill
They run on your machine and send nothing unless you enable LLM grouping or run evident share. Telemetry is off unless you opt in.
Removal
To remove a published map of your repo, open an issue on the Evident repository or follow SECURITY.md.
