## Privacy and data handling

Fern Writer doesn't store your Slack messages directly. When you tag `@Fern Writer` or reference a message or thread, the content is stored in a session to generate the documentation pull request. Session data isn't retained after the task completes.

Neither Fern nor [Devin](https://docs.devin.ai/admin/security#how-is-your-data-used-to-improve-devin) uses your data to train AI models. Fern explicitly configures its Devin integration to opt out of any data collection for model training. Your channel messages, code, and documentation content are never used for training purposes. See Devin's documentation on [Slack integration security](https://docs.devin.ai/admin/security#integrating-with-slack) for additional details.
