Hello Atlassian Developer Community,
I have developed a new FREE app that is currently in the development stage and not yet in production. I have also successfully created a vendor profile in the Atlassian Marketplace.
However, I am finding the process for actually submitting my app to the marketplace rather confusing due to the amount of information and steps involved. I have reviewed available documentation but am still unsure about the correct sequence and specific actions I need to take to proceed from development to app submission.
Could someone please provide a clear and step-by-step guide or checklist that covers the process of submitting a new app (not yet in production) to the Atlassian Marketplace, starting from a developer perspective with an already created vendor profile? Any tips or pointers to relevant resources would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your assistance!
Hello Nathan!
Thank you for your clear instructions on deploying and distributing the Forge app in the Atlassian Marketplace—this has been very helpful.
As I move forward with publishing the app, I understand that a privacy policy is required for listing in the Atlassian Marketplace. Could you clarify what is expected for the privacy policy? Specifically:
- Where can I create or generate a suitable privacy policy for this context?
- Are there recommended templates or tools that you suggest for app developers?
- In your experience, how difficult is it to draft an acceptable policy for Atlassian’s requirements?
- Are there any additional considerations or common pitfalls I should be aware of during this process?
Any additional resources or guidance would be much appreciated to ensure compliance and a smooth app review.
Thanks again for your support!

Yeah privacy policy is one of those grey areas where you’ll never get specific advice unless you hire a lawyer. Atlassian won’t read your policy or provide any suggestions in the submission process, but end-customers often do read through it line-by-line.
Not legal advice, but one way to go about it is to find the privacy policies for a handful of similar/large marketplace vendors, including Atlassian’s policy. Copy-paste them all into your AI chatbot of choice and ask it to generate a policy with your details.
Refine, keep it short, read it carefully and ensure it covers everything for your needs.
