1. Who We Are

GetGrowth is operated by Block and Byte Technologies Pvt Ltd, a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 in India. Our platform helps content creators and businesses automate social media engagement, lead generation, and sales across Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, Block and Byte Technologies Pvt Ltd is the data controller of personal data we collect from you as a user of our platform. For personal data we process on your behalf about your audience and followers, we act as a data processor.

Registered address: Block and Byte Technologies Pvt Ltd, India · admin@getgrowth.me

2. Information We Collect

We collect several categories of personal information, depending on how you use GetGrowth.

2.1 Account & Identity Information

  • Name — full name provided at registration
  • Email address — used for login, notifications, and receipts
  • Phone number — optional; used if WhatsApp Business integration is enabled
  • Profile photo — if connected via Google or social login
  • Business/creator name — as entered in your GetGrowth profile
  • Country and timezone — for scheduling automations correctly
  • Preferred language — to serve the platform in your language where applicable

2.2 Social Platform OAuth Tokens

When you connect a social media platform (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp Business, LinkedIn, YouTube), we receive and store OAuth access tokens issued by those platforms. These tokens allow GetGrowth to perform actions on your behalf — such as reading comments, sending DMs, or publishing posts.

  • All tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption
  • Tokens are never stored in plaintext under any circumstances
  • Tokens are scoped strictly to the permissions you grant during the OAuth flow
  • You can revoke access at any time from your GetGrowth dashboard or directly from each platform's security settings

2.3 Content & Persona Data

  • Sample posts and captions you provide for persona training
  • Your writing style, tone preferences, and topic keywords
  • Digital product information — titles, descriptions, prices, and media for products you sell through GetGrowth
  • Automation configurations — triggers, keywords, message templates, funnel steps
  • Scheduled post content — drafts and published posts managed via GetGrowth

2.4 Follower & Audience Interaction Data

When your automations run, GetGrowth temporarily processes data about your audience members — such as their usernames, comment text, DM content, and phone numbers captured via lead flows. This data is processed to deliver the automation and is subject to strict handling:

  • Audience member data is stored only as long as needed to complete or track an automation
  • Contact records (e.g., WhatsApp leads) are stored in your GetGrowth CRM and are visible only to you
  • We never use your audience's data for our own marketing or profiling purposes
  • We never sell, share, or monetise audience data in any way

2.5 Payment & Billing Data

All payments are processed by Cashfree Payments, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment gateway. GetGrowth does not receive, store, or process card numbers, bank account details, or UPI IDs. We receive only:

  • Transaction confirmation and order ID
  • Amount paid and currency
  • Payment method type (e.g., "UPI" or "card") — never the actual details
  • Billing name and email for invoice generation
  • GST number (if provided by Indian business customers)

2.6 Usage & Analytics Data

  • Pages visited, features used, buttons clicked within the GetGrowth dashboard
  • Number of automations run, DMs sent, posts published, and leads captured
  • Error logs and performance metrics (no personal data included)
  • Session duration and frequency of use

2.7 Technical & Device Data

  • IP address (used for security, fraud detection, and approximate location)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Device type (desktop / mobile / tablet)
  • Referral URL (which website or link brought you to GetGrowth)
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 14)

2.8 Communications Data

  • Emails or messages you send to our support team
  • Feedback, bug reports, or feature requests you submit
  • Responses to optional surveys or NPS polls

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Directly from you — when you register, fill out forms, connect platforms, or configure automations
  • Automatically — through cookies, server logs, and analytics tools as you use our platform
  • From social media platforms — via OAuth when you connect Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, or LinkedIn
  • From payment processors — Cashfree Payments sends us confirmation data after a transaction
  • From third-party services — if you sign in using Google, we receive your name, email, and profile photo from Google

5. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under applicable privacy laws (including GDPR and India's DPDP Act 2023), we must have a valid lawful basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following:

  • Contract performance — processing necessary to deliver the GetGrowth service you signed up for
  • Legitimate interests — processing for security, fraud prevention, and service improvement, where our interests are not overridden by your rights
  • Consent — for optional communications like newsletters and marketing emails. You may withdraw consent at any time
  • Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose data to comply with applicable law (e.g., tax records under Indian GST law)

6. Platform-Specific Data

GetGrowth connects to external social media platforms via their official APIs. The data we access on each platform is strictly limited to what is necessary for the features you enable.

6.1 Instagram & Facebook (Meta)

  • We request access to your Instagram Business or Creator account and/or Facebook Page via Meta's Graph API
  • We read comments, story replies, and DM threads to trigger and execute automations

  • Meta's own data practices apply to data stored on their servers — see Meta Privacy Policy

6.2 WhatsApp Business

  • We connect to the WhatsApp Business API (via Meta) to send and receive messages on your behalf
  • Phone numbers captured through your lead flows are stored in your GetGrowth CRM — visible only to you
  • We do not initiate conversations with any contact without a prior opt-in triggered by the user's own interaction (e.g., commenting a keyword)
  • All message sending complies with Meta's WhatsApp Business Policy, including opt-out handling
  • "Type STOP to unsubscribe" is built into all outbound sequences

7. Automation & Content Processing

7.1 How Automation Works

When an automation runs (e.g., a comment triggers a DM), GetGrowth processes data in real time to execute the defined action. This may include reading comment text, extracting keywords, generating a reply, and sending it. No human at GetGrowth reviews this content during normal operation.

7.2 Content Generation

GetGrowth uses large language model (LLM) technology to generate posts, replies, and message sequences in your voice. When content is generated:

  • Your persona prompt, topic inputs, and sample posts are sent to our LLM provider to generate output
  • Follower usernames or comment text may be included as context to personalise a reply
  • We do not send your followers' private messages, phone numbers, or personally identifiable information to any LLM provider
  • Generated content is stored in your GetGrowth account for your review and records
  • Our LLM provider processes this data under a strict data processing agreement and does not use it for model training

7.3 CRM & Lead Data

When a lead is captured (e.g., a follower comments a keyword and provides their WhatsApp number), that contact record is stored in your GetGrowth CRM. You are responsible for handling these contacts in compliance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including obtaining and documenting consent where required.

8. Data Sharing & Sub-processors

We never sell your personal data to any third party. We share data only with the following categories of recipients, strictly as necessary:

Sub-processor Purpose Data Shared Location
Cashfree Payments Payment processing Billing name, email, transaction details India (PCI-DSS certified)
Google Cloud Platform Cloud infrastructure and hosting All platform data (encrypted at rest) asia-south1, Mumbai, India
LLM Provider AI content generation Persona prompts, post samples, comment context (no follower PII) USA (under DPA)
Meta (Instagram / Facebook / WhatsApp) Platform API access OAuth tokens, automation actions USA / EU / Global
Google (YouTube / OAuth) Platform API access OAuth tokens, comment data USA / Global
LinkedIn Platform API access OAuth tokens, post content USA / EU
Email delivery provider Transactional email delivery Email address, email content Under DPA

We may also disclose personal data if required by law, court order, or government authority, or where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of GetGrowth, our users, or the public.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you by email or prominent notice on our platform before your data is subject to a different privacy policy.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy or as required by law.

Data Type Retention Period Reason
Account information Duration of account + 30 days after deletion request Service delivery; grace period for recovery
OAuth access tokens Until revoked or account deleted Platform connection; encrypted at all times
Automation logs & activity history 90 days rolling Debugging, analytics
CRM / lead contact records Until you delete them or delete your account Your business use; you control this data
Billing and payment records 7 years Indian GST Act compliance
Support communications 3 years Legal defence; quality assurance
Anonymised analytics data Indefinitely Aggregate product insights; no personal data retained

On account deletion, we begin purging your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. A written deletion request to admin@getgrowth.me will be acknowledged within 72 hours.

10. Security Measures

We take the security of your data seriously and implement layered technical and organisational controls:

  • Encryption at rest: AES-256-GCM for all OAuth tokens and sensitive data fields
  • Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2+ enforced for all data transmission; HTTPS-only, HSTS enabled
  • Infrastructure: Hosted on Google Cloud Run (asia-south1, Mumbai) with automatic security patching, container isolation, and VPC network controls
  • Access control: Role-based access control (RBAC) internally; no engineer has routine access to customer data
  • Secrets management: All API keys and credentials managed via Google Cloud Secret Manager
  • Password security: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with per-user salt; we never store plaintext passwords
  • Two-factor authentication: Available and recommended for all GetGrowth accounts
  • Monitoring: Real-time anomaly detection and alerting for suspicious access patterns
  • Penetration testing: Regular third-party security assessments
  • Data breach response: In the event of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and applicable regulators within 72 hours, as required by GDPR and DPDP Act 2023

Note: While we implement strong security measures, no system is 100% immune to threats. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your GetGrowth account and enable two-factor authentication.

11. International Data Transfers

GetGrowth is based in India and primarily stores data on Google Cloud's Mumbai (asia-south1) region. However, some data processing occurs outside India — for example, when our LLM provider or platform APIs (Meta, Google, LinkedIn) process data in the USA or EU.

When personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

  • EU/EEA users: Transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission, or the transfer is to a country with an EU adequacy decision
  • UK users: Transfers rely on the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or UK adequacy regulations
  • All transfers: Governed by data processing agreements (DPAs) with all sub-processors, ensuring equivalent protections to those in this policy

12. Your Rights

Right of Access
