Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Blumize. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently and securely.

Blumize is a workflow automation platform that helps businesses streamline their operations through integrations with third-party services like Google Drive, Google Sheets, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and OpenAI. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

By using Blumize, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve our services:

3. Third-Party Integrations

Blumize connects with various third-party APIs to enable workflow automation:

• Google Services (Drive, Sheets, Calendar, etc.)
• Meta Platforms (Facebook, Instagram)
• OpenAI (for AI-powered content generation)
• Other integrations as you choose to connect

When you authorize these connections, data is exchanged securely through encrypted API connections. Blumize acts as a bridge between services and does not permanently store the content that flows through your workflows unless specifically required for the automation to function.

All OAuth tokens and API credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit. We follow industry best practices for secure credential management.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Service Operation: To operate and maintain your workflows and automations

• Security: To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
• Communication: To send you service-related notifications, updates, and important information
• Compliance: To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

We do not use your data for advertising purposes or sell it to third parties.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take data security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect your information:

• Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
• Secure Infrastructure: We use secure cloud infrastructure with regular security audits
• Access Controls: Strict access controls limit who can access your data
• Minimal Retention: We only store data as long as necessary to provide our services

OAuth Tokens: Integration credentials are encrypted and stored securely. We do not have access to your actual passwords for connected services.

Workflow Data: Content that flows through your workflows is processed in real-time and not permanently stored unless required for the specific automation you've configured.
