What we collect. What we don't.
Last updated: April 2026. This covers the personal data we handle and your rights to access, export, and delete it.
What we collect
- Account info: email, name if you give us one, auth identifier from Supabase or Google OAuth.
- Job history: every prompt you send, the response we return, the model used, the credit cost, and the employee slug. Stored so you can review and rerun past work.
- Billing: Stripe processes payments. We store your customer id, subscription status, and charge history. We never see or store your card number.
- Integration tokens: when you connect a tool (Gmail, HubSpot, etc.) through Composio, the OAuth token is stored encrypted at rest by Composio. We only ever see a connection id.
- Usage analytics: page views, feature clicks, and conversion events via PostHog and Plausible. Neither uses tracking cookies across sites. See Cookies for details.
- Observability: if a crash happens, Sentry receives the stack trace and a small slice of request context (no prompt content).
If you use the IDE or VS Code extension
When you sign in to ABN Studio or the ABN CoderVS Code extension, you’re using the same account, the same credit balance, and the same subprocessors as the webapp — with one important addition:
- Code you ask the AI to read or edit is sent to the LLM provider you picked(Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google). The provider is shown in the IDE’s model picker. We don’t have a hidden second hop.
- Terminal output and command results the agent captures during a turn are sent the same way. The agent only captures what you let it run.
- Sensitive files are your call to share.The IDE never sweeps your project folder or tracks files you didn’t open or attach. If a file is in the conversation, it’s because you (or a tool you approved) put it there.
- None of it trains a competing model. Our agreements with each provider forbid training on your content, and we audit those agreements at every renewal.
- You can revoke an IDE’s access any time at /app/api-keys — the IDE will silently re-prompt for sign-in next time.
What we don’t do
- We never sell your data.
- We never train our own models on your prompts, outputs, or files. We never share your data with anyone for that purpose.
- We never let one user see another user's jobs. Row-level security on the database enforces it.
- We don't run ad cookies, cross-site trackers, or Meta pixels.
Who processes your data (subprocessors)
We use these processors to deliver the service. Each one operates under their own privacy terms. We maintain zero-data retention agreements or API-only access wherever available.
| Processor | What they handle | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Postgres database + auth | US-East |
| Vercel | App hosting | US (global edge cache) |
| Stripe | Payments + billing | US / EU |
| Anthropic | Claude LLM calls (no training on customer data) | US |
| OpenAI | GPT fallback LLM calls (zero-data-retention endpoint) | US |
| Google AI | Gemini fallback LLM calls | US |
| Wavespeed | Image, video, audio model routing | US |
| Composio | OAuth + tool-execution broker for integrations | US |
| SendGrid | Transactional email (receipts, notifications) | US |
| Sentry | Error telemetry (stack traces only, no prompt content) | US |
| PostHog | Product analytics (page views, feature usage) | US / EU |
| Plausible | Cookieless marketing analytics | EU (Germany) |
If we add or remove a subprocessor we'll update this page and (for paid plans) email 30 days in advance where material.
Retention
- Account + job history: retained while your account is active. Deleted within 7 days of account deletion.
- Stripe billing records: retained 7 years to comply with tax / anti-money-laundering law.
- Backups: rolling 30-day encrypted backups. We can't surgically delete from backups; restores would only occur under a disaster-recovery event.
- Observability (Sentry, PostHog): 90 days.
Your rights
Under GDPR (EU/UK) and CCPA (California) you have the right to:
- Access / export: download every row we store about you at Settings → Your data → Export.
- Delete: permanently wipe your account + data at Settings → Your data → Delete account. This cascades through our DB and revokes auth.
- Correct:edit your profile info in Settings, or email us for anything you can't edit directly.
- Object / restrict: email privacy@automatebusiness.com and we'll action it within 30 days.
- Complain: you may file a complaint with your national data-protection authority.
Transfers outside your region
Our servers run in the United States. If you're in the EU, UK, or elsewhere, your data crosses borders. We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses with our subprocessors. Enterprise customers can request a Data Processing Addendum.
Children
The service is not directed at children under 18. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
