Your data, clearly
explained.

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information: When you sign up, we collect information such as your name, email address, authentication account identifiers, workspace details, and Instagram account information provided through Meta's OAuth flow.
• Instagram data: With your authorisation, we access Instagram usernames, profile details, comments, commenter metadata made available by Meta, synced post information, automation delivery results, and direct-message context necessary to deliver the Service.
• Payment information: Payment processing is handled by Razorpay for India pricing and Stripe for international pricing. We do not store full card details on our own servers.
• Usage data: We collect information about how you interact with the Service, such as features used, automations created, DMs sent, browser type, IP address, device information, and access timestamps.
• Communication data: If you contact support, we retain records of those communications and attachments you send us.

We use the information we collect to:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

• Provide, operate, and maintain SlideDM, including Instagram connectivity and automation delivery.
• Process subscriptions, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and billing support.
• Send service-related communications such as billing confirmations, security alerts, and feature updates.
• Monitor usage trends, improve the product, and troubleshoot technical issues.
• Detect, prevent, and address abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

Our use of Instagram data received through Meta's APIs is limited to delivering the functionality you authorise. In particular:

• We access comments and messaging context only to execute the automations you configure.
• We store Instagram-related data only as needed for account sync, delivery, analytics, support, and compliance.
• We do not share Instagram data with third parties except where needed to operate the Service or where required by law.
• We comply with Meta's Platform Terms and Data Use policies and may update our practices if Meta changes its rules or access model.

If you choose to connect SlideDM to an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT through our connector, you decide which one workspace that assistant may use and how much it may do. You approve this on a SlideDM consent screen, and nothing is shared until you do.

By default a connected assistant can only read. It can read your posts, automations, automation statistics and analytics, delivery log, and the leads you captured through SlideDM, including the email addresses and phone numbers your followers shared with you. It can also read the Instagram usernames and comment text of people who commented on your posts, and the usernames and recent message previews of people who messaged you. A read only connection cannot create, change, pause, or delete anything, and it cannot send messages or reply to comments.

Actions are opt in. A workspace owner must first turn on AI actions in Settings, and then choose Read and take actions on the consent screen. Only Claude and ChatGPT are offered this choice. With actions on, the assistant can pause and resume automations, save new automations as drafts, edit automations, read the comments waiting in Reply Desk and your recent DM conversations, reply to comments, send DMs inside existing conversations, and create a one use link to download your leads. The exported file contains the email addresses and phone numbers your followers shared. You download it yourself while signed in to SlideDM, and it is not sent to the assistant: only the one use link is. An export can optionally mark those leads as exported. The assistant cannot launch a new automation or start a new conversation.

Messages an assistant sends go out from your Instagram account under Meta's rules, and you are responsible for what you approve. SlideDM refuses messages that contain blocked words, email addresses, or phone numbers, requires links in messages and buttons to be links already used in SlideDM, and limits how many replies, DMs, and other actions an assistant can take.

Every action an assistant takes is logged in SlideDM with the assistant, the action, its target, the time, and whether it worked. Workspace owners can see recent actions for each connection in Settings under Connected AI apps. The log keeps the Instagram username of the person you replied to or messaged, but never stores the text of a message or the value of a lead, and entries are deleted after 180 days. We also email the workspace owner the first time a connection takes an action and every time leads are exported.

Data you request through a connector is sent to the AI provider you connected, which processes it under its own privacy policy and your agreement with that provider. SlideDM does not keep a copy of the answers your assistant generates. We record which assistant you connected, which workspace it can use, its access level, when it was last used, and how often each tool is called, so we can operate, secure, and support the connector.

You can disconnect an assistant at any time in Settings under Connected AI apps, or switch it to read only there. Disconnecting revokes its access immediately and invalidates the tokens it holds. Turning off AI actions makes every connection in the workspace read only. Removing your SlideDM account also removes every connection.

Your data is stored using reputable infrastructure providers. We use industry-standard safeguards such as encryption in transit, access controls, secret management, and ongoing security review. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide the Service, preserve automation history, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise personal data within 30 days unless retention is required by law or necessary for legitimate business purposes.

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Payment processing: With Razorpay or Stripe to process subscriptions and billing events.
• Service providers: With hosting, database, analytics, logging, support, and infrastructure vendors that help us operate SlideDM.
• Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request.
• Safety: To protect the rights, safety, or property of SlideDM, our users, or the public.
• Business transfer: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
• Creator ad measurement: on taphere.bio, a creator can connect their own Meta Pixel and Conversions API. If they do, page visits, purchases and signups on that creator's page are shared with Meta for the creator's ad measurement, with email and phone numbers hashed before they are sent.
