Augment Code is an AI-powered tool that assists developers in writing, debugging, and optimizing code, enhancing productivity and code quality in software development projects.
Augment Code is an AI-powered coding assistant that revolutionizes software development by deeply analyzing entire codebases as interconnected systems, delivering context-aware suggestions for writing, debugging, and optimizing code to boost productivity and maintain quality.[1][4] Its key features include autonomous AI agents that map dependencies across massive repositories of 400,000+ files, complete full workflows such as building features with error handling and tests, generating pull requests, and integrating natively with tools like GitHub, Notion, Jira, Confluence, VS Code, and JetBrains IDEs.[3][5][6]
Designed for professional developers and teams—especially those managing complex enterprise systems, microservices, legacy codebases, or regulated environments—Augment excels in use cases like architectural refactoring, cross-service debugging, onboarding juniors, and reducing technical debt.[1][2] What sets it apart is its superior contextual understanding, using advanced language models to grasp architectural patterns, team-specific conventions, and real-world constraints, unlike generic tools that offer superficial, file-limited advice.[1][4][5]

No training on user data means no opt-out is necessary.
Low risk across data training, licensing, and sharing dimensions.
The ToS explicitly states that customer code and output are never used to train AI models, with clear language prohibiting this practice across all tiers. This is a strong, unambiguous protection.
“[ToS] "your Customer Code or Output is never used to train any artificial intelligence models ("Models"). Additionally, if Customer Code or Output is shared as context to any third party Model providers in delivering the Solution to you, such use is subject to terms at least as protective as those found in this Agreement"”
The license granted to the company is strictly limited to providing the service. Customer retains all ownership of outputs, and the company makes no claims to generated content beyond service delivery purposes.
“[ToS] "Customer hereby grants Company the right to access and use your Customer Code, User Commands, and Output solely for the purposes of providing the Solution and Output as provided herein. As between the Parties, and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, Customer owns all right, title and interest in and to your Customer Code and the Output"”
Third-party sharing is limited to essential infrastructure providers under strict confidentiality agreements. Customer code and output are explicitly protected from sharing with other third parties, and no advertising or analytics sharing of user content is permitted.
“[ToS] "your Customer Code and Output is never shared with any other third party" and "Company uses third party hosting providers, other service providers and affiliates to support the general provision of the Solution to all of its customers" with Company remaining responsible. [Privacy] "We only share your personal information with such service providers for legitimate business purposes and under strict confidentiality agreements"”
While the Privacy Policy mentions retention periods vary and data is deleted after applicable retention periods, specific timeframes are not clearly stated in the documents. The ToS does not explicitly address data deletion timelines or account termination cleanup procedures.
“[Privacy] "We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the data and why we collect it. After the applicable retention period, we securely delete or anonymize your data."”
Customer owns all generated outputs with no restrictions on commercial use. The company explicitly disclaims any ownership rights to outputs and does not claim any license to generated content.
“[ToS] "As between the Parties, and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, Customer owns all right, title and interest in and to your Customer Code and the Output, and is responsible for its use of such."”
The documents reference GDPR compliance, data protection measures, and a Trust Center/Security page, but no specific certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA) are explicitly mentioned. Compliance is claimed but formal certification details are not provided in the available documents.
“[ToS] "Each Party shall comply with all applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations in connection with its collection, use, and disclosure of personal data under this Agreement, including without limitation the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)" and [Privacy] "For more information regarding our data transfer mechanisms, data processing agreements, and other information related to jurisdictional rights and compliance please contact us."”
