- Extraction and screenshot results are returned in the API response and not stored by us unless you upload them to your CDN storage
- AI Workflow data may be passed to third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) as necessary to execute your workflow. These providers have their own data processing terms.
- Integration credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and used only to execute API calls you initiate
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
4.1 Service Providers (Sub-processors)
Third parties that help us operate the Service:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): Cloud infrastructure, compute, storage (S3), and content delivery
- Stripe: Payment processing and billing
- PostHog: Product analytics (anonymized usage data)
- AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic): AI model inference for Workflows and Extraction, only when you use these features
All sub-processors are bound by data processing agreements. We maintain a current list of sub-processors and will notify you of material changes.
4.2 Third-Party Integrations
When you connect third-party services (Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Google Drive, etc.) through our Integrations API, data is exchanged directly with those services according to the API calls you configure. We act as a conduit and do not retain integration data beyond what is needed for logging and debugging.
4.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request. Where permitted, we will notify you before disclosing your information. We may also disclose information to protect our rights, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety of our users.
