Legal & Policies
📋 Heads up: This page contains general legal information, not legal advice. For specific legal guidance, consult a qualified attorney. We're a SaaS platform, not a law firm (though we did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once).
Introduction
Welcome to Hubsflow — your modular CRM platform for modern agencies and teams. We built Hubsflow to be transparent, secure, and user-friendly. That philosophy extends to how we handle legal stuff, too.
This page outlines our terms of service, privacy practices, data handling, security measures, and other important policies. We've done our best to make it readable (no 47-page PDFs in 6pt font), but comprehensive enough to cover what matters.
TL;DR: We respect your data, we don't sell it, and we work hard to keep your information secure. Use Hubsflow responsibly, and we'll do our part to provide a reliable, transparent service.
Terms of Service v2.0

Paid Plans: Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the plan you select.
Payment Terms: All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated or required by law. If payment fails, we may suspend or terminate your account.
Price Changes: We reserve the right to modify pricing with at least 30 days' notice to existing subscribers.
Taxes: Fees exclude applicable taxes. You're responsible for all taxes associated with your subscription.
Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. You can cancel your subscription through your account settings. Upon termination:
Your access to the Platform will be revoked.
We will retain your data for 30 days to allow for export or recovery, after which it may be permanently deleted.
No refunds will be provided for unused subscription time unless required by law.
We may terminate or suspend accounts that violate these Terms immediately without notice.
Intellectual Property
Hubsflow owns all rights, title, and interest in the Platform, including source code, design, features, branding, and documentation. You retain ownership of any data you upload to the Platform.
You grant Hubsflow a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, and process your data solely to provide the service. We will not use your data for any other purpose without your consent.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: Hubsflow is provided "as-is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform. Our total liability for any claim related to Hubsflow will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Hubsflow harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Privacy Policy
Information We Collect
We collect information in three ways:
Information you provide: Name, email, company name, payment details, profile data, and any content you upload to the Platform.
Automatically collected data: IP address, browser type, device information, usage patterns, session data, and cookies.
Third-party data: If you integrate external services (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack), we may receive data from those services in accordance with your settings.
Activity Recorded in Your Workspace
We keep a record of everything that happens in your workspace. Every message sent, file uploaded, task completed, ticket opened or closed, and project created, updated or completed is recorded as it happens — not a sample, and not a monthly total. Each record holds what happened and when, who did it, which client and project it belongs to, and a short label so it can be read back as a timeline. For a file that label is the file name, and we also store its type and size. For a message, the label is the first 80 characters of the message; the rest of the body stays in your conversation and is not copied into the activity record.
This is what your dashboard, your project timelines and the activity feed your clients see are built from, and it is how work is attributed for retainers and reporting. Without it a portal cannot tell you what happened last week.
We track your use of our own product and nothing else. There is no third-party analytics on Hublumen — no Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Plausible, PostHog, Segment, Hotjar or Meta pixel — no advertising, and no cross-site tracking. We do not follow you to other websites and we never sell these records. They belong to a workspace and, where relevant, to a client portal: members of the workspace can see activity within it, and a client can see the activity on their own portal, which is the purpose of a shared portal rather than a surprise.
