Privacy Policy

Algoventis GmbH ("BuildBeacon.io," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a data subject. This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users within the European Union (EU) and other relevant global data protection regulations.

1. Information We Collect

  • Personal Data: Name, Email address, IP address, Usage data and activity logs
  • Webhook and Project Data: Repository names, commit messages, pull/merge request details, workflow statuses, timestamps, branch names, author information, webhook names and descriptions
  • Team Collaboration Data: User invitations, team member roles, access permissions, collaboration activity logs
  • Technical Data: Device and browser information, server log files, cookies, and tracking technologies

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To enable team collaboration features and manage user access
  • To improve and personalize your user experience
  • To analyze and optimize service performance
  • To communicate with you regarding your account, updates, or support requests

3. Data Sharing and Transfers

Your data may be shared with:

  • Legal Authorities: If required by law or to protect our rights and safety
  • Trusted Partners: As necessary to provide the service

Cross-border data transfers comply with GDPR through mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other appropriate safeguards.

4. Team Collaboration and Data Access

Our team collaboration features allow you to share webhook data with other users:

  • When you invite users, they receive an email with instructions to access your webhook data
  • Invited users must register with the email address used for the invitation
  • Team members can only access the webhook event data you've configured - no source code or build logs
  • You control all access permissions and can revoke access at any time
  • All team members are bound by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service

5. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time by:

  • Deleting individual webhooks through the webhook management interface
  • Deleting your entire account through account settings
  • Contacting our support team for assistance

Upon deletion, all associated data is permanently removed from our systems.

6. Your Rights

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent (where applicable)
  • File a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • Manage team collaboration access and permissions
  • Export your webhook data and statistics

7. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Secure access controls and authentication
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Webhook signature verification for data integrity
  • Secure secret management for webhook credentials

8. Webhook-Only Architecture

Our privacy-first approach means we operate exclusively on webhook data:

  • We never access your source code, build logs, or private repository data
  • You control exactly what data is sent via webhooks
  • No API tokens or OAuth access to your repositories
  • All data processing is based on events you explicitly configure

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes via email or platform notifications.

10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies only for essential purposes to ensure the functionality of our service. A cookie is a small file placed on your device that is necessary for features like authenticating your session and maintaining your login state.

We do not use any third-party cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising. The cookies we use are strictly necessary for you to use the service.

Because these cookies are essential for the service to operate, there is no option to disable them. If you configure your browser to block these cookies, you will not be able to log in or use your BuildBeacon.io account.
