Zapier integrations (Zaps) automate data flows between services, which means your integration processes whatever data users choose to send through their workflows — potentially including customer records, payment data, personal contacts, and confidential business information. As a Zapier integration developer, you become a data processor for all the data that flows through your integration. Zapier's Partner Program requires a privacy policy, and users have a right to know what data your integration accesses, stores, and transmits. Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate how organizations with annual turnover over AUD $3 million collect, use, and disclose personal information.
