Compliance on a Sentry project, end to end
The clauses are the visible part. What makes them worth having is that they keep matching the code after you stop paying attention.
It finds it without being told
AutomaticSentry resolves from its package, its endpoint or its credential name — so an integration with no SDK installed is found like any other.
Clauses, not a template
The disclosures Sentry forces are assembled from a library built from published regulatory text, and filled in from the catalog row rather than from a guess about what the vendor does.
Every clause explained
Beside each one, in plain English: what it means, why your product needs it, and which detected component put it there — with the file and line it was proved from.
It notices when this changes
DriftLater scans are diffed against the snapshot your documents were generated from, so removing Sentry or adding something beside it becomes an update you approve.
Delivered where you work
As a pull request on a connected Git host, as an approval in the dashboard, or from your editor over MCP — the same six tools your agent can call without opening a browser.
Read in memory, not retained
The files a scan reads are processed in memory and dropped when the request ends; what is kept is the list of services it found. The MCP server goes further and scans on your own machine.
How Poliogo proves Sentry is there
Detection is pattern matching over what is literally in your repository — dependency manifests, source files, configuration, edge functions and `.env.example` — not a model's opinion about your code. Sentry resolves from any of the signatures below, so an integration written as a bare `fetch` with no package installed is found exactly like one with an SDK.
- ✓The generated clause names “any user context you attach” explicitly, because what Sentry ends up holding depends on your own code rather than on a setting anybody can look up.
- ✓sentry-sc is a session cookie that ties one visit's errors together — strictly necessary, disclosed in the table, and never gated.
- ✓The vendor's legal entity is Functional Software, Inc. rather than “Sentry”, and a sub-processor schedule naming the brand instead of the entity is the kind of thing a customer's DPA review sends straight back.
What Sentry changes in your documents
Sentry captures crash reports — those can contain user data, so it gets disclosed. It tracks how people behave on your site, and behavioural tracking must be disclosed and consented to. That is why Sentry moves your Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Cookie banner — and it is the same sentence the Updates page shows when a scan finds it for the first time, because both are read from one place.
- ✓Privacy Policy — regenerated and shown as a diff before anything is published.
- ✓Cookie Policy — regenerated and shown as a diff before anything is published.
- ✓Cookie banner — regenerated and shown as a diff before anything is published.
Sentry in your sub-processor schedule
A sub-processor schedule names the legal entity, not the brand — Functional Software, Inc. rather than "Sentry" — because that is the name a customer's data protection agreement is checked against. The row below is what Poliogo generates and what your Trust Center publishes.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Legal entity | Functional Software, Inc. |
| What it receives | Error stack traces, IP address, browser and OS data, and any user context you attach |
| Purpose | Crash reporting and debugging |
| Processing location | United States |
| Their privacy policy | sentry.io/privacy/ |
Generated from the catalog entry, and published on your Trust Center alongside every other sub-processor a scan found.
Getting this onto a Sentry project
Nothing is written or published until you have seen it. The scan proposes, you approve, and only then does anything reach your repository or your live pages.
Connect the repository, the host or the live address. The scan reads manifests, source, configuration and `.env.example` in memory and keeps the list of services it found, not the files it read.
A plain-English list of every service the scan proved, Sentry among them, each with the file and the line it was found on. Correct anything wrong before a word is generated.
Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Terms, with the clauses Sentry forces already in them, and a plain-language explanation beside each one saying which detected component put it there.
Later scans are diffed against the snapshot your documents were generated from, so a service added next month becomes an update you approve rather than a quiet inaccuracy nobody notices.
Questions people ask
Does Poliogo detect Sentry on its own?
Yes. Sentry resolves from the signatures in the detection library — the package name, the endpoint it is called at, and the credential name it uses in `.env.example`. Matching on the endpoint is the part that matters: an integration written as a bare `fetch` with nothing added to package.json is still found, and that is the case a dependency-only scanner misses entirely.
What does Sentry actually receive from my users?
Error stack traces, IP address, browser and OS data, and any user context you attach — for crash reporting and debugging. That list is not written for this page: it is the catalog row the generated Privacy Policy prints, so what you read here is what your document will say, down to the categories.
Do I have to list Sentry as a sub-processor?
If it processes personal data on your behalf, yes — and the row names Functional Software, Inc., the legal entity, rather than the brand, because that is the name a customer's data protection agreement is checked against. Poliogo generates the row and publishes it on your Trust Center alongside every other sub-processor a scan found.
Where does Sentry process the data?
United States. That matters for the transfer clause rather than for the vendor list: an EU product sending personal data to a US processor owes a transfer disclosure whether or not anything else in the stack is American. The generated clause names the location from this same row rather than assuming one.
Which cookies does Sentry set, and are they blocked before consent?
sentry-sc. Whether each one waits depends on its classification, not on its vendor: the ones marked strictly necessary are disclosed in the Cookie Policy and always allowed to run, because gating them breaks the thing they exist for, and anything classified Analytics or Marketing is held until a visitor agrees.
What happens when I add another service later?
A scan has to run first — manually on any plan including Free, or on your plan's schedule from Starter. When one finds a service your documents do not mention, the change arrives as a proposal with a plain-language diff: what changed, why, and which detected component triggered it. On a connected Git host it can also arrive as a pull request on a side branch, so changes reach your default branch only through a pull request you approve.
Is any of this legal advice?
No. Poliogo reads code and assembles clauses from a library built from published regulatory text; it does not weigh your circumstances, and no generated document settles whether a business is compliant — that turns on how the business actually handles data. What the product is for is making sure the documents describe what the software genuinely does, which is the part that goes stale on its own and the part a person cannot check by hand every week.
