### Using GitLab.com as a proxy
When you use [GitLab.com as a proxy](#configure-your-gitlab-instance-to-serve-as-a-proxy),
the Jira access token is shared with GitLab.com.
The Jira access token is stored on GitLab.com because the token must be used to verify
incoming requests from Jira before the requests are sent to your self-managed instance.
The token is encrypted and is not used to access data in Jira.
Any data from your self-managed instance is sent directly to Jira.
