This Privacy Policy explains how ScaleFlows Ltd ("ScaleFlows", "we", "our", or "us") handles personal information through our websites, applications, customer support platform, and related services (the "Service"). It also explains our role when merchants use ScaleFlows to process their customers' data.
1. Who We Are and Our Data Protection Role
ScaleFlows Ltd is the controller of personal information we collect about website visitors, account holders, prospective customers, and business contacts for our own purposes.
When a merchant uses ScaleFlows to process customer messages, orders, attachments, contacts, or other information on its behalf ("Merchant Customer Data"), the merchant is normally the controller and ScaleFlows is its processor or service provider. The merchant decides why the data is processed, configures the Service, and is responsible for its own privacy notices, lawful basis, and data-subject requests.

2. Information Covered by This Policy
This Policy covers information processed through scaleflows.ai, the ScaleFlows application, account registration and billing, support interactions, and connected services. It does not replace a merchant's privacy policy for its own customers, and it does not govern third-party services that act independently under their own notices.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Account and Business Information
- Name, email address, profile image, password and authentication information, timezone, and sign-in provider
- Business, store, workspace, role, team membership, and invitation information
- Subscription plan, billing address, tax information, payment-method metadata, invoices, discounts, and transaction status
- Support communications and feedback
Stripe processes payment card details used for ScaleFlows subscriptions. We receive payment-method and transaction information from Stripe but do not store complete card numbers.
3.2 Merchant Configuration and Content
- Customer service policies, AI instructions, autonomy and approval settings, handover rules, templates, signatures, tags, blocklists, and message flows
- Knowledge documents, text, URLs, product-specific context, internal notes, and other materials you upload or create
- Messages, drafts, attachments, translations, exports, and actions performed by users through the Service
3.3 Merchant Customer Data
Depending on the merchant's integrations and settings, we may process:
- Customer names, email addresses, postal addresses, language, identifiers, tags, marketing-consent status, and conversation history
- Support emails and messages, subject lines, message content, attachments, photos, videos, PDFs, delivery events, and metadata
- Orders, line items, products, prices, discounts, transactions, refunds, cancellations, replacements, fulfillments, tracking events, and payment-method context
- Shopify Payments and Stripe dispute information, evidence fields, status, deadlines, and outcomes
- Subscription and billing events relating to a merchant's customers where the merchant enables those integrations
3.4 Connected-Service and Credential Information
We receive store domains, account identifiers, access scopes, OAuth tokens, API credentials, webhook data, email routing details, and connection status from services you connect. Integration credentials are used to operate and maintain those connections.
3.5 Usage, Device, and Diagnostic Information
- IP address, browser and device type, operating system, timestamps, referring pages, approximate location, and session information
- Pages and features used, actions taken, plan, role, workspace identifiers, and product events
- Cookies, local storage, and similar identifiers used for authentication, preferences, analytics, support, and changelog functionality
- Application logs, API requests, performance traces, errors, crash details, and, where enabled, session replay diagnostics
4. Where Information Comes From
We collect information directly from you, your employer or workspace owner, your device and browser, and the services you choose to connect. We also receive Merchant Customer Data from customers who contact a merchant, from ecommerce and payment platforms, email providers, tracking services, and other systems acting on the merchant's instructions.
5. How We Use Information
- Create and secure accounts, authenticate users, manage roles, stores, subscriptions, and billing
- Receive, organize, draft, translate, send, and analyze customer service communications
- Retrieve and synchronize customer, order, product, fulfillment, tracking, payment, subscription, and dispute context
- Apply merchant-configured policies, approval rules, message flows, handovers, and permitted ecommerce actions
- Store and retrieve knowledge, attachments, templates, internal notes, and conversation history
- Provide operational analytics, reports, dispute tools, in-app support, onboarding, and product updates
- Monitor reliability, debug errors, measure feature usage, prevent abuse and fraud, and improve the Service
- Comply with law, respond to lawful requests, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements
6. AI and Automated Processing
ScaleFlows uses AI and automated systems to classify and route messages, retrieve relevant knowledge, create and translate drafts, analyze text and certain attachments, identify order context, and support or carry out merchant-configured workflows.
Relevant information may be sent to AI providers to generate an output. This may include customer messages, conversation history, names and email addresses, order and product context, merchant policies and knowledge, internal notes, tracking or dispute context, and selected image or PDF attachments used for optical character recognition.
Depending on merchant settings, the Service may automatically send replies or flows and may propose or perform customer, order, refund, cancellation, replacement, address, or marketing-consent actions. Merchants control the applicable autonomy and approval settings and remain responsible for their use of these features.
We currently use Anthropic for language, classification, and vision features; OpenAI for knowledge-base embeddings; and, where configured, DeepL for translation. Providers and models may change as the Service develops.
7. Legal Bases for Processing
Where UK GDPR, EU GDPR, or similar law applies and ScaleFlows acts as controller, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Contract: to create your account, provide the Service, process subscription payments, and respond to requested support
- Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, monitor, support, and improve our business and Service, prevent fraud, and communicate with business users, balanced against your rights
- Consent: where required for optional product-update subscriptions, non-essential technologies, or other activities for which we specifically request consent
- Legal obligation: to maintain required records, respond to lawful requests, and comply with tax, accounting, and other laws
Where we act as processor for Merchant Customer Data, the merchant determines the applicable lawful basis. We process that data under the merchant's instructions, our agreement with the merchant, and applicable law.
9. Featurebase Support and Product Updates
We use Featurebase for in-app support, feedback, and changelog features. Confirmed account users may be identified to Featurebase using their user ID, email address, name, and profile image and may be subscribed to product changelog communications. You can use available unsubscribe controls or contact us if you do not wish to receive optional product-update emails.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide and secure the Service, maintain business and tax records, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. The period depends on the type of information, the merchant's instructions, account status, legal requirements, and operational or security needs.
Disconnecting Shopify, Stripe, an email provider, or another integration stops future access through that connection but does not automatically erase previously synchronized messages, orders, attachments, analytics, or other historical records.
An owner may permanently delete a store using available settings. This removes the store's workspace and associated tenant data from active systems. Limited information may remain in backups, security and audit logs, billing records, legal holds, or third-party systems until their applicable retention periods expire.
You may delete certain knowledge documents, avatars, and other content through the Service. Account-level access, correction, export, or deletion requests may be sent to privacy@scaleflows.ai. We will assess and respond to requests under applicable law and, for Merchant Customer Data, may refer the request to the relevant merchant.
11. International Data Transfers
ScaleFlows and its providers may process information in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, United States, Singapore, and other countries where they operate. These countries may have different data protection laws from your country.
Where required, we use recognized transfer safeguards such as adequacy regulations or decisions, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or Agreement, European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
12. Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including authenticated access, role-based workspace permissions, tenant data separation, private attachment storage, limited-duration signed attachment links, application-level encryption for stored integration credentials, request validation, and signed webhook verification where supported.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for protecting credentials, assigning appropriate user roles, securing connected accounts, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access.
13. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and subject to legal exceptions, you may have rights to:
- Access personal information and receive information about its processing
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion, restriction, or portability
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing
- Complain to a data protection authority
To exercise a right concerning information ScaleFlows controls, contact privacy@scaleflows.ai. We may need to verify your identity. If your request concerns data controlled by a merchant, contact that merchant first; we will assist it as required by our agreement and applicable law.
UK residents may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. EEA residents may contact their local supervisory authority. You will not be discriminated against for exercising an applicable privacy right.
15. Children
The Service is intended for businesses and authorized users aged 18 or over. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly create accounts for children. Merchant Customer Data may incidentally concern a minor where a merchant lawfully provides customer support; the merchant remains responsible for the lawful collection and use of that data.
16. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the Service, providers, law, or our data practices. We will publish the revised version and update the date above. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before a material change takes effect.
