Security & Privacy
Last updated: April 7, 2026
We built Pipeboard with security and privacy as first principles. This page summarizes our practices in plain language. For legal details, see our Privacy Policy andTerms of Service.
Data Minimization
- We store only what is necessary to operate the product — typically authentication tokens and minimal user metadata.
- We do not sell data or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
- Usage logs may contain account identifiers for debugging and support purposes. Logs are retained in accordance with our data retention policies and access is restricted to authorized personnel.
Encryption
- In transit: All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).
- At rest: Data stored in our database is encrypted at rest using AES‑256. Backups are also encrypted.
- Sensitive data (like access tokens) is stored securely with industry‑standard encryption and access controls.
Access Controls
- We enforce least‑privilege access across our services. Server operations use carefully scoped service roles.
- Our database uses Row Level Security (RLS) so each user can only access their own records (e.g., API tokens, Meta access tokens, subscription/usage data).
- Administrative features are gated and require explicit authorization.
Authentication & Sessions
- Sign‑in options: Login via OAuth providers such as Facebook, GitHub, or your corporate SSO (SAML/OIDC).
- We use secure authentication flows (including PKCE) and session management aligned with best practices.
- Platform OAuth for Ads access: We obtain the tokens required to read your Ads/Insights and perform permitted actions. Tokens are stored securely and can be revoked by you at any time via your platform's business integrations settings.
- The MCP gateway authenticates with your Pipeboard session or API token. Your platform tokens are resolved and injected server‑side only when needed.
- We do not share your platform credentials with MCP clients or LLM providers.
- You can also create scoped API tokens for programmatic access.
API Token Access Controls
API tokens support fine-grained access controls so you can follow the principle of least privilege when granting programmatic access:
- Read-Only Tokens: Restrict a token to viewing and reporting operations only — it cannot create, update, or delete campaigns or ads.
- Fine-Grained Tool Access: Choose exactly which MCP tools each token can call. For example, a reporting bot can be limited to
get_insightsandget_campaignswhile a campaign manager token can also update budgets. - Per-Account Token Scoping: Restrict a token to specific ad accounts so that a team member or automation working on one client cannot access another.
See our API Token Permissions guide for setup instructions and examples.
Third‑Party Services
- Payments: Handled by Stripe. We do not store card numbers. Webhooks are verified using Stripe signature verification.
- AI/LLM Providers: We send only the data required to fulfill your request to the LLM pipeline and configure providers with privacy‑preserving settings where available. Refer to each provider’s policy for details.
AI and Model Training
As of today, we do not use customer content or connected Meta Ads data to train AI models for product improvement. If we introduce “smart” features that benefit from learning across accounts, we will provide advance notice and an account‑level opt‑out before using customer content for that purpose. Unless you opt out, your content may be used to improve those features. You can opt out at any time via settings or by contacting us at privacy@pipeboard.co. We honor deletion requests, including removal of derived training artifacts where feasible. For hosted LLM providers, we send only what’s necessary and configure privacy‑preserving/no‑training settings where available.
Data Retention, Caching & Backups
- Advertising data may be cached briefly to improve performance and reliability.
- We do not retain ad data long‑term beyond what is necessary to provide the service. We may perform short‑lived processing of recent, relevant data to improve performance, reliability, and features. We only retain data longer with your explicit consent or configuration.
- To support fast Insights report generation, we may store minimal reporting inputs (for example, your ad account list and recent 7‑day aggregate metrics) with a creation timestamp. This cache is per‑user and protected by Row Level Security (RLS). It is not used for marketing or shared with third parties.
- Backups: Our database is backed up automatically on a regular schedule. Backups are encrypted and stored securely.
Your Control & Data Deletion
You can delete your account and associated data at any time via settings or by requesting deletion via email. SeeUser Data Protectionfor step‑by‑step instructions.
- Deleting your account removes API tokens, Meta access tokens, and auth states.
- Revoking Pipeboard in Facebook Business Integrations also invalidates tokens.
- We have a formal data disposal process: when data is no longer needed or upon your request, it is permanently deleted from our systems and backups in accordance with our retention policies.
Responsible Disclosure
If you believe you have found a security issue, please contact us and we will investigate promptly. See our responsible disclosure policy.
