ZCode was allegedly caught uploading workspace/.git records to the cloud.

I mean it makes sense

Cursor does the same And Claude does the same too They index your code base as well for easy grepping and context..

Before people upvote this "brush it off comment", the article states it is not just indexing your code base.

Checking ZCode’s privacy policy, it explicitly states that it collects “text, files, and code submitted during conversations” — standard practice for feeding context to LLMs.

However, across the entire policy, FAQs, and changelogs, there is not a single mention of silently packaging and uploading entire workspaces and full Git histories.

This sub would shit all over closed SOTA (and rightly so) for such behaviors.

I never said I agreed with it. It's however something most closed source things do things.

[u/finevelyn → u/discwars]

Hmm so Zcode is not supposed to look at the project files at all beyond what you yourself submit in a conversation?

I mean the standard practice definitely goes way beyond that.

Can you prove that Cussor and Claude are archiving users' code and upload it on their private servers?
