Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how BrandyBee collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the brandybee.ai website and the BrandyBee platform.
Our goal is to be clear about what information we process, why we process it, and how we handle it while providing a secure and reliable product experience for e-commerce brands.
The controller responsible for this Privacy Policy is BrandyBee Inc., a Delaware C-Corp with its registered address at 1111B S Governors Ave, #42724, Dover, DE 19904, United States. You can reach our privacy and data protection contact at support@brandybee.ai.

- Basic device and browser information derived from your request, such as operating system, browser version, and device type.
- On our public website, pages visited and actions taken, sent to our analytics provider without cookies and without any identifier that persists between visits. Inside the BrandyBee application, this is collected only if you accept analytics cookies.
- Security records of sign-ins to the web application, including a one-way hash of your IP address and browser, your approximate city, and a device description, kept so that unauthorized access to your account can be detected.

- If you arrive through a campaign or referral link, the source, medium, and campaign name, recorded once when you create your account.
Collected only if you accept analytics cookies
- Usage patterns, clicked actions, and session activity linked together across your visits.

Information from connected services
If you connect third-party services such as Google, Shopify, or WooCommerce, we may receive the information you authorize through those services.
Data we receive from Meta platforms
If you connect a Facebook Page, Instagram Business account, or Meta ad account, we receive only the data you authorize Meta to share with BrandyBee.
We do not receive your Facebook password, private message history, friends list, or content from accounts you have not connected to BrandyBee.
Separately from any account you connect, BrandyBee also retrieves publicly available advertising data from Meta’s public Ad Library (such as ad text, advertiser Page names, run dates, and reach ranges) to provide competitor-advertising insights. This is public archive data about advertisers; it is not personal data about you or your store’s visitors.
- Facebook user ID, name, profile photo, and email address, when you connect your Meta account through Facebook Login for Business or otherwise authorize account access.
- The list of Facebook Pages you manage or have a role on, plus Page access tokens and token expiry data for the permissions you grant.
- Instagram Business Account ID, username, and public profile metadata.
- Content you create, draft, schedule, or publish through BrandyBee, including text, captions, images, videos, and related media.
- Post-level analytics such as impressions, reach, likes, comments, saves, engagement, and similar performance metrics where you authorize access.
- Meta ad account IDs, campaign data, ad performance metrics, and aggregate audience-level data where you connect a Meta ad account.
Data we receive from Google (Search Console, Analytics, Merchant Center)
If you connect your Google account, we receive only the data you authorize on Google’s consent screen, and only for the properties and accounts you explicitly select in BrandyBee.
BrandyBee only reads this data. We never create, modify, or delete your products, settings, or any content in your Google Search Console, Google Analytics, or Google Merchant Center accounts.
BrandyBee’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy (developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy), including the Limited Use requirements.
- Google Search Console: search queries, impressions, clicks, and positions for the verified property you select.
- Google Analytics: aggregated traffic and behavior metrics (sessions, engagement, conversions, e-commerce revenue) for the GA4 property you select. We do not receive personal profiles of your visitors.
- Google Merchant Center: your product feed’s statuses and data-quality issues (approvals, disapprovals, item-level issues) and account-level issues for the account you select.
- We use this data solely to provide BrandyBee features to you: grounding your product scores, reporting your search and traffic performance, and diagnosing your Shopping feed health. We do not use it for advertising, we do not sell it, and no humans read it except with your permission, for security purposes, or as required by law.
- We do not use Google user data to develop or train machine-learning or AI models.
- Your Google OAuth token is stored encrypted and is never exposed to your browser or to other users.
- You can disconnect Google at any time in Settings: disconnecting immediately deletes the stored token and all data BrandyBee synced from Google. Deleting your BrandyBee account has the same effect, and you can additionally revoke BrandyBee’s access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
3. How we process brand and store information
A core part of BrandyBee is understanding the brand and store context you provide. When you submit a store URL or related brand information, we analyze publicly available content to understand positioning, visual direction, product context, and brand consistency.
- We only analyze publicly available content. We do not access password-protected or private areas.
- We process this information to build brand context, analyze products, and generate or improve product-focused outputs on your behalf.
- We do not intentionally collect personal data from public webpages as a standalone dataset.
- Brand analysis data remains associated with your account until you remove it or delete your account.
4. How we use your information
- To create and manage your account.
- To analyze brand and product information and provide BrandyBee features.
- To generate, improve, and deliver product content, creatives, and recommendations.
- To process subscriptions, payments, and account administration.
- To send service updates and, where permitted, marketing communications; you can opt out of marketing emails at any time.
- To provide support, respond to requests, and maintain service reliability.
- To monitor security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
Meta integration purposes
- Facebook user ID, name, and email: to authenticate you and connect the correct BrandyBee account.
- Facebook Page lists and Page access tokens: to publish, schedule, and manage content you author in BrandyBee on the Facebook Pages you connect.
- Instagram Business Account information: to enable scheduled or one-click publishing to your connected Instagram account.
- Content you author in BrandyBee: to draft, store, schedule, publish, and show your publishing history back to you.
- Post performance data: to report performance and surface optimization recommendations to you.
- Ad account and campaign data: to help you measure campaign performance and receive recommendations for your connected ad accounts.
Legal bases
Depending on the context, we process personal data to perform our contract with you, to comply with legal obligations, based on our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services, or based on your consent where required, such as for optional analytics or certain communications.
5. AI and generated outputs
BrandyBee uses artificial intelligence to help analyze inputs and generate outputs. Outputs are provided to support your workflow and should always be reviewed before publication or business use.
- Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for a specific use case.
- Similar inputs may produce similar outputs for different users.
- You remain responsible for reviewing, approving, and using any output generated through the platform.
- Data accessed through third-party APIs is not used for model training or machine learning beyond providing the service directly to you.
- We do not use private customer Input or Output to train foundation models unless you separately agree or the information has been anonymized or aggregated so it no longer identifies you or your account.
- BrandyBee provides AI-assisted recommendations and content generation, but does not make legally significant automated decisions about you.
- BrandyBee does not publish AI-generated content to connected social media accounts unless you explicitly review and confirm the publication.
- Do not submit passwords, payment card details, API keys, or other secrets into AI prompts or brand materials.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only where necessary to operate the Services.
Service providers
We work with infrastructure, hosting, analytics, payment, email, security, and AI service providers to operate BrandyBee. These providers process data only within the scope required to support the Services.
The categories below describe the kinds of providers we rely on and are not an exhaustive list of every individual company. Where we name a provider, it is because it handles a significant part of that category; other providers may be used within the same category, and the providers in a category can change over time.
A current list of the sub-processors we use, including their locations, is available on request at support@brandybee.ai.
- Supabase: database, authentication, and edge functions, with EU hosting where configured.
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): backend hosting, storage, content delivery, and automated image moderation, including EU regions and other regions where required to provide the Services.
- Cloud hosting and workflow-automation providers: development, automation, and internal infrastructure where used.
- OpenAI, Google, Microsoft Azure, and similar AI model providers: AI-assisted text, image, caption, and recommendation generation.
- Google: where you connect a Google account, we use Google sign-in, Search Console, Analytics, and Merchant Center to read the data you authorize; we also use Google services for web fonts, analytics measurement, and domain checks.
- Stripe: payment processing and billing administration.
- Email delivery providers: transactional, account, and permitted marketing email.
- Sentry, Microsoft Clarity, and product-analytics providers: diagnostics, error reporting, and usage analytics, with optional analytics loaded only where consent is required and obtained.
- Advertising platforms (including Meta): measuring how our ads perform and reaching relevant audiences. These load only after you opt in to advertising cookies, and never on the essential-only setting.
- Search, keyword, and market-data providers: keyword volume, ranking, and competitor visibility data used to score and optimize your pages.
- Web content extraction providers: retrieving publicly available web page content for brand, product, and competitor analysis.
- Product-review platforms: where you connect one, we read your existing customer reviews so your pages can display real reviews rather than invented ones.
- Security and anti-abuse providers: bot protection, and checks on whether an email domain is disposable, to protect signup and account deletion.
- Messaging and operational-alerting providers: internal notifications about support requests and system events.
Connected platforms
If you choose to connect third-party platforms, data may be exchanged with those platforms only to enable the requested functionality.
Legal and business reasons
We may disclose information where required by law, to protect rights and security, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or business transfer.
Requests from governments and law enforcement
When a government body, court, or law enforcement agency asks us to disclose user data, we follow a written internal policy. We verify the identity and authority of the requester, review the legal basis and validity of the request, and object to or seek to narrow requests that are overbroad or legally deficient. Where we do disclose, we disclose only the specific records covered by a valid request — never wholesale exports, and never credentials or access tokens.
Unless we are legally barred from doing so or there is a genuine emergency involving risk to life, we notify the affected user before disclosure and give them an opportunity to object. We keep a record of every request we receive and how we handled it, including requests we refused. Where a request concerns data we received from a connected platform such as Meta, we also consider whether the requester should be directed to that platform instead.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
You can manage optional analytics through our cookie banner or in-product privacy preferences where available, and you can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the Services function.
- Essential cookies required for authentication, session continuity, and security.
- Preference cookies that remember settings such as language or theme.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand product usage and improve performance.
8. Data security
We apply technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information in transit and at rest, including encryption, access controls, and security monitoring.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account or information has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@brandybee.ai.
9. Data retention
- Account data is retained while your account remains active. If you request account deletion, the account is scheduled for deletion after the restore period, unless you cancel the request before deletion is finalized.
- Brand profiles, generated content, generated images or videos, and related product records are retained until deleted by you or removed as part of account deletion.
- Facebook and Instagram access tokens are retained while the integration is connected and are deleted within 30 days after you disconnect the integration or delete your BrandyBee account, unless a shorter period is required by law or platform policy.
- Google OAuth tokens and all data synced from Google (Search Console, Analytics, Merchant Center) are deleted immediately when you disconnect the Google integration in Settings or delete your BrandyBee account.
- Published post records, drafts, scheduling records, and connected-account analytics are retained while your account is active and for up to 90 days after account deletion where needed for backup rotation, dispute handling, or security review.
- Authentication and session records are generally retained for up to 90 days after expiry, unless needed longer for security or legal reasons.
- Billing and financial records may be retained for the period required by law.
- Support records and security logs may be retained for a limited period to provide support, investigate issues, prevent abuse, and satisfy legal obligations.
- Backups are deleted or overwritten according to normal backup rotation schedules, typically within 35 days after the relevant active-system retention period.
- Aggregated and anonymized usage data may be retained for analytics, security, and product improvement.
10. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights related to access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, and withdrawal of consent regarding your personal data.
If you would like to exercise a privacy right, please contact us at support@brandybee.ai. We will review and respond in accordance with applicable law, generally within 30 days where GDPR response timelines apply.
When we provide access or portability exports, we may format the export in a structured, user-readable way rather than as a raw copy of our internal database tables, while covering the personal data we are required to provide.
Where applicable, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.
- Access: obtain a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Erasure: request deletion of personal data where applicable.
- Restriction: ask us to limit processing in certain circumstances.
- Portability: receive eligible data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent: withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, including optional analytics or marketing communications.
11. Children’s privacy
BrandyBee is intended for business users and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18 or the age required by applicable law.
12. International transfers
Your information may be processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as adequacy decisions, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or participation in an applicable data transfer framework.
13. Updates to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and provide notice where appropriate.
