3. AI and Your Content

Buildbo uses artificial intelligence to help you build software.

To provide these features, information you submit to Buildbo, including prompts, project files, code, and relevant technical context, may be processed by Buildbo's infrastructure and, where necessary, third-party AI or infrastructure providers that process information on our behalf.

We use appropriate contractual and technical safeguards when working with service providers.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable terms or product documentation, we do not sell your prompts, source code, or private project content to third parties.

Where AI providers are used to process your content, their use of that information may also be governed by their applicable agreements and policies.

You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information, passwords, private keys, API secrets, financial account credentials, or other confidential information into AI prompts or project files unless Buildbo specifically supports the secure handling of that information.

4. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances.

• Other infrastructure and operational services

These providers are authorized to process information only as necessary to provide services to us and are subject to appropriate contractual or other safeguards where required.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that applicable privacy protections continue to apply to transferred information.

7. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your Buildbo account.

Depending on the circumstances, deleting your account may result in the deletion or deactivation of your projects, account information, and other associated content.

Some information may be retained where required by law or where reasonably necessary for legitimate purposes such as fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or enforcement of agreements.

Before deleting your account, you are responsible for exporting or saving any project content you wish to keep, where export functionality is available.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

These measures may include:

• Encryption in transit
• Access controls
• Authentication safeguards
• Monitoring and logging
• Secure infrastructure
• Security updates
• Limited employee and contractor access

However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

You are also responsible for protecting your account credentials, API keys, passwords, and other information under your control.

If you believe your Buildbo account has been compromised, contact us as soon as possible.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

Buildbo may integrate with or contain links to third-party websites, services, APIs, applications, or tools.

These third parties may have their own privacy policies and terms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services that we do not control.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

10. International Data Transfers

Buildbo may use service providers and infrastructure located in countries other than the country where you live.

As a result, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in different jurisdictions.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international data transfers, we will use appropriate mechanisms designed to protect personal information.

11. Children's Privacy

Buildbo is not intended for children who are below the minimum age required to use the Service under applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Buildbo without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

12. Marketing Communications

We may send you service-related communications, including:

• Account notifications
• Security alerts
• Product updates
• Billing notifications

Where permitted by law, we may also send promotional communications.

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe mechanism included in those messages.

You may continue to receive important transactional or service-related communications even after opting out of marketing messages.

13. Analytics

We may use analytics services to understand how users interact with Buildbo and to improve the Service.

For example, Buildbo may use Google Analytics or similar services.

Analytics providers may collect information about your device, browser, interactions, and use of the Service.

Where required, we will obtain consent before using non-essential analytics technologies.

14. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, Buildbo may not respond to such signals unless required by applicable law.

15. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, we may rely on one or more of the following:

• Performance of a contract with you
• Your consent
• Compliance with legal obligations
• Our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights
• Protection of vital interests
• Other lawful bases permitted by applicable law

The specific legal basis may depend on the type of information and the purpose for which it is processed.

16. European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Similar Jurisdictions

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar data protection requirements, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws.

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete personal information
• Restrict processing
• Object to processing

Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to that processing.

17. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have additional privacy rights.

These may include rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain information about the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which it is used.

Buildbo does not sell personal information in the conventional sense unless otherwise disclosed in an updated privacy notice.

If our practices change in a way that triggers additional legal disclosure or opt-out requirements, we will provide the notices and choices required by applicable law.

18. Nigeria Data Protection

Where applicable, Buildbo will process personal information in accordance with relevant Nigerian data protection requirements, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act and regulations or guidance issued by the relevant authority.

Where Nigerian law provides specific rights or requirements concerning personal information, those rights and requirements will apply to the extent applicable to your use of Buildbo.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

If we make material changes, we may provide additional notice through the Service, email, or other appropriate means where required by law.

Your continued use of Buildbo after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means that you acknowledge the updated policy, subject to any rights you may have under applicable law.
