Frontly's Privacy Policy offers a plain-language description of Frontly's data and privacy practices, including:

  • What customer data we store

  • Where we store this data and which platforms do we use to store data

  • Why we store this data and how it's used

  • Your rights to have your data erased

Overview

Frontly does not sell your data to any third-parties. Frontly only shares data with third-parties for the specific purposes of customer support, marketing and analytics as described in this document.

Database

Our database is hosted on Amazon Web Services in Canada. Our database is used to store account data when you register with Frontly, including your email, name, app configuration, etc.

Web Servers

Our front-end web servers are hosted on the Heroku platform, and our back-end API servers are hosted on Google Cloud. All servers are located in the United States.

Data Source Caching

Frontly offers multiple data source options including Google Sheets, Airtable and Supabase.
โ€‹
As of Sept 18, 2024, the default setting is for Frontly to not cache any data source records by default. All records will be loaded in real-time as-needed in both admin editor and live apps.

There is some data about your data sources stored in Frontly's database, which is essential to the system functionality, which includes:

  1. The names of your table headers (for displaying form fields, table columns and other app features).

  2. Any information you enter anywhere within the Frontly admin to configure your app settings.

Frontly's Admin Data Policy allows you to decide whether you prefer to have Frontly cache your data source records for admin preview purposes, which slightly speeds up the admin experience, but does result in your potentially sensitive data being stored in Frontly's database.

Third-Party Services

OpenAI

OpenAI is an AI platform that Frontly uses when you make AI requests in the Frontly platform. The data sent to OpenAI is limited to the data you include in your requests.

OpenAI is used for two features:

  1. AI App Generation - Your 'prompt' is sent to OpenAI as well as any other revised app structure decisions throughout the multi-step AI App Generation process.

  2. OpenAI Request Action - You can optionally trigger requests to OpenAI using the OpenAI Request Action, passing custom data defined by you and/or your user's dynamic input in the live app.
