Does Gliffy store diagram data on its own servers?
Gliffy’s servers only have access to a diagram while in draft mode; this supports our autosave functionality. Once you publish your diagram, this data is deleted. This means that your saved and published diagrams are only stored in Confluence Cloud. For teams with additional security concerns or requirements, this functionality can be disabled.
Does Gliffy use third-party tools?
Yes, Gliffy uses one tool within Confluence Cloud that helps us collect product usage feedback to improve the user experience. We’re happy to provide you with additional details — please simply fill out our Contact Us form.
