01Information We Collect
DetailinLeads AI ("we," "us," or "our") operates a multi-tenant SaaS platform that helps automotive detailing businesses capture, qualify, and convert leads using AI automation. We collect information in the following categories:
Account & Registration Data
- Name, email address, phone number, and password (hashed โ never stored in plain text)
- Business name, business address, city, and service offerings
- Profile photo or logo (if uploaded)
- Billing name and address associated with subscription payments
- OAuth identity tokens when signing in with Google (we receive only your name, email, and profile picture)
Usage & Platform Data
- Actions taken within the platform (pages visited, features used, buttons clicked)
- AI configuration settings, custom prompts, and automation preferences you create
- Conversation histories between the AI and leads on your account
- Quote templates, booking data, follow-up schedules, and notes you enter
- API response logs (stripped of sensitive lead PII) for debugging and quality purposes
Technical & Device Data
- IP address, browser type, and operating system (collected automatically on login)
- Device identifiers for session management
- Timestamps of logins, API calls, and key platform actions
- Error logs and crash reports used to improve platform stability
Customer Lead Data (Processed on Your Behalf)
When you connect a Meta lead form or WhatsApp Business account, we receive and process lead data submitted by your end customers (e.g., name, phone number, email, vehicle type, service interest). This data is collected on your behalf โ you are the data controller and we act as your data processor. See Section 2 for full details.
02Lead Data Handling
Lead data includes any information submitted by your customers through Meta lead forms, WhatsApp conversations, or other connected channels. This typically includes:
- Full name and phone number
- Email address (when provided)
- Vehicle make, model, or year (from form fields you define)
- Service interest and budget signals
- Location or zip code
- Message content from WhatsApp threads
How We Use Lead Data
- To route incoming leads to your dashboard in real time
- To trigger AI-generated outreach messages via WhatsApp on your behalf
- To qualify, score, and categorise leads according to your configured rules
- To generate quotes, schedule follow-ups, and maintain conversation history
- To populate analytics and reporting dashboards visible only to you
What We Do Not Do With Lead Data
- We do not sell lead data to any third party
- We do not use lead data to train our AI models without explicit opt-in consent from you
- We do not share lead data between tenant accounts (strict multi-tenant isolation)
- We do not use lead data for advertising purposes
You are responsible for ensuring that your end customers have consented to receiving automated WhatsApp messages from your business. Your Meta lead form and WhatsApp Business configuration must comply with applicable consent requirements in your jurisdiction.
03WhatsApp & Meta Integrations
DetailinLeads AI integrates with Meta's platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Business API) to enable lead capture and automated messaging. These integrations involve data flows governed by Meta's own policies in addition to ours.
Meta Lead Ads Integration
When you connect a Facebook Page and Meta lead form to DetailinLeads AI, we request the following permissions via the Meta for Developers OAuth flow:
- pages_show_list โ to list your Facebook Pages
- pages_read_engagement โ to access page-level tokens needed to read lead submissions
- whatsapp_business_management โ to manage your WhatsApp Business Account
- whatsapp_business_messaging โ to send outbound WhatsApp messages
- business_management โ to access your Meta Business Suite account
WhatsApp Business Messaging
Messages sent through our platform on your behalf are transmitted via the WhatsApp Business API. This means message metadata (sender ID, timestamp, delivery status) is visible to Meta. Message content passes through Meta's infrastructure before reaching your lead's device. You are responsible for ensuring your WhatsApp messaging practices comply with WhatsApp's Business Policy and applicable anti-spam regulations in your region.
Token Storage
We store encrypted OAuth access tokens (Page access tokens, WhatsApp Business account IDs) in our secure database to facilitate ongoing automation without requiring you to re-authenticate daily. Tokens are encrypted at rest and accessible only by our backend systems on your behalf.
04AI Processing & Automation
How the AI Works
- Your business profile, services, pricing, and tone settings are used to configure the AI's persona
- Incoming lead messages are processed by large language models (LLMs) via our AI provider to generate contextually appropriate replies
- Generated replies are sent as WhatsApp messages on your behalf or queued for your approval depending on your settings
- Lead qualification, scoring, and follow-up triggers are generated by AI analysis of conversation content
AI & Lead Data
- Lead message content is sent to our AI provider's API for the sole purpose of generating replies
- Our AI provider is contractually prohibited from using your data to train their general models
- We do not build or train proprietary AI models on your lead data without your explicit consent
- AI processing occurs in real time; we do not retain raw message content in AI provider systems beyond the API call
Human Review Capability
Depending on your plan and settings, you may enable "AI Assist" mode where the AI drafts replies for your manual review before sending, rather than auto-sending. We recommend this mode for complex quotes, dispute resolution, or legally sensitive conversations.
AI Limitations Disclaimer
DetailinLeads AI's automated messaging is not a substitute for professional legal, financial, or medical advice. The AI is configured specifically for automotive detailing sales conversations and should not be used outside this context without appropriate reconfiguration and review.
