  • Third-Party Security Standards – Our service providers (e.g., Stripe, email platforms) comply with GDPR, CCPA, and ISO security standards.

VIII. Third-Party Services & Integrations

Since we provide AI automation, no-code solutions, and digital services, we integrate with and rely on third-party tools.

We work with external vendors to enhance our services, including:

We do not control these third-party services, and they may have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their terms.

VIII.2 Third-Party API & Software Dependencies

Since our automation workflows rely on APIs and third-party platforms:

  • We cannot be held responsible for changes, pricing updates, or disruptions in third-party tools (e.g., API rate limits, discontinued services).
  • Clients must ensure their own access to certain paid tools if required for their automation.

If a third-party tool becomes unavailable, we will offer an alternative solution, but additional costs may apply.
