Terms Update Summary: June 2026

Summary of what’s changing⁠

We’ve included a high-level overview of the changes to our Terms of Service and the introduction of our AI Services Addendum below.

Applicability and effective date ⁠

Linear has added an AI Services Addendum to our Terms of Service. For existing customers, the new terms will apply as of July 11, 2026. Users may also opt-in to them sooner upon usage of Coding Sessions and Metered AI Services.

What AI Services are ⁠

AI Services covers any Linear feature powered by generative or predictive AI, including features where Linear calls a third-party AI model on your behalf. Some AI Services are designated as Metered AI Services and billed on a usage basis, measured in Credits. Currently, Coding Sessions is the only Metered AI Service.

Credits and usage-based billing ⁠

We’re introducing Credits as the unit of measurement for Metered AI Services. Credits are denominated in U.S. dollars and are fungible across all Metered AI Services within your Workspace. Credits are pooled at the Workspace level, so all users in a Workspace draw from the same balance. Pricing, conversion rates, and the current list of Metered AI Services are published on the Pricing Page. Please see the updated AI Services Addendum for more information on credit expiration terms.

Your data and model training

Your data is yours. Prompts and outputs are treated as your Customer Data and your Confidential Information. Linear will not use your data to train its own AI models. Linear’s agreements with third-party AI model providers similarly prohibit them from using your data for model training, and require zero-data-retention processing.

Model flexibility ⁠

We continuously evaluate the AI models powering Linear to make sure you’re getting the best performance and capabilities available. This means we may add, remove, or substitute models over time. Different models may consume Credits at different rates.
