At Autonoms AI, your security and privacy are not an afterthought — they are the foundation of how automations are deployed and managed across the marketplace.
Every automation on Autonoms is designed to be secure, transparent, and fully owned by the buyer from the moment it’s deployed.

This means that when an automation is purchased and delivered, it runs inside your own environment, connected securely to your tools (like Gmail, Slack, or LinkedIn) via OAuth-based authorization, not shared credentials.

✅ 1. Deployment Happens in the Buyer’s Environment

Whether your automation is built on n8n, Make, Zapier, or any other supported platform, it’s deployed directly into your environment — not hosted by the seller.

• Sellers build and test automations using their own accounts during development.
• At deployment, they export the automation from their workspace into yours through a secure process.
• The automation runs on your infrastructure — your n8n instance, Make workspace, or cloud account.
• Once deployment is complete, you are the full owner of the automation. The seller no longer has access or control.

This ensures that sensitive company workflows and connections never leave your private ecosystem.

✅ 2. Secure OAuth Connections — No Password Sharing, Ever

All integrations between your automation and third-party tools (like Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, or HubSpot) are made through OAuth connections — the same enterprise-grade standard used by Google, Microsoft, and major SaaS platforms.

What this means for you:

• Sellers never see or request passwords, API keys, or tokens.
• During setup, you’ll be prompted to authorize each app connection yourself.
• You decide which accounts and data the automation can access.
• Access can be revoked at any time from your own account dashboard.

This OAuth-based connection ensures data security while allowing automations to perform their tasks seamlessly across your tools.

Example: If an automation sends LinkedIn messages or schedules Gmail replies, it uses your authorized OAuth tokens — not stored credentials — meaning the seller never touches or views your data directly.

✅ 3. Confidential Data Is Never Shared With Sellers

Sellers operate in a sandboxed development environment — they only test functionality, not your actual data.

When you go live:

• The automation is copied into your workspace.
• You authenticate the tools it connects to.
• The seller only sees whether the workflow functions correctly, not your data or content.

All automation execution logs and connected accounts remain private to your environment.
This separation guarantees that business data, client information, and private assets are never exposed during or after setup.

✅ 4. Verified, Trained, and Monitored Sellers

Every seller on Autonoms is vetted, trained, and continuously monitored to meet strict compliance and security standards.

• Sellers complete mandatory training on safe deployment practices and OAuth security.
• Every automation they publish undergoes a compliance review before approval.
• Any deviation from our standards triggers immediate review and potential suspension.

This layered verification process ensures that only trusted automation engineers operate on the platform.

Your automation, your environment, your control.

🧭 In Summary

Security Principle	What It Means for You
Local Deployment	Automations run in your environment, not the seller’s.
OAuth Authentication	No password or key sharing — only secure, revocable authorization.
Data Privacy	Sellers never see or access your actual business data.
Verified Sellers	Only trained, approved, and compliant creators can deploy automations.
Full Control	You can monitor, revoke, or modify access at any time.

💬 Why This Matters

Trust is the backbone of the Autonoms ecosystem.
By combining secure OAuth integrations, environment-level deployment, and escrow-protected transactions, we ensure that every automation you purchase or sell happens within a safe, auditable, and user-controlled system.

Every step — from payment to deployment to long-term support — is designed to protect your data, your business, and your peace of mind.

🧩 For Buyers: How Secure AI Automation Deployment Works

When you purchase an automation on Autonoms AI, deployment happens directly inside your environment — not the seller’s. This ensures full ownership and airtight data privacy from the moment your project begins.

Here’s what happens step-by-step:

1. Seller Builds in Their Own Environment

Before purchase, the seller develops and tests the automation in their private workspace (e.g., their own n8n, Make.com, or Zapier account).
They confirm that:

• The workflow runs correctly.
• All integrations and logic are functional.
• No sensitive data from you is involved during testing.

2. Automation Is Exported to You Securely

Once you purchase the automation:

• The seller exports the final workflow from their workspace.
• You receive a secure import link or file (depending on the platform).
• The automation is installed into your own environment — your n8n instance, Make scenario, or Zapier account.

Example:
If the automation is built on n8n, you’ll receive a .json export file that you can import directly into your n8n dashboard.

3. You Connect Your Own Tools Using OAuth

After importing, you connect your business tools – Gmail, LinkedIn, Slack, HubSpot, etc. using OAuth authentication.

This means:

• You log into each app from your own account.
• You approve which permissions the automation can access (e.g., send emails, fetch leads, post messages).
• You can revoke access at any time from within your app’s connected accounts panel.

🔐 The seller never sees your credentials, tokens, or API keys.
All integrations are secured using OAuth — the same technology trusted by Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce.

4. Seller Verifies Functionality, Not Data

Once your automation is connected, the seller runs a test alongside you to confirm:

• The workflow executes successfully.
• The connections are working.
• The expected results are achieved.

They can see that the automation works but cannot access the data flowing through your tools — for example, they can see a “message sent” event succeeded, but not the content of your Gmail or Slack messages.

5. You Retain Full Ownership

After deployment:

• The automation runs entirely within your workspace.
• You can modify, duplicate, or delete it.
• The seller no longer has control or access.

✅ Result: You own the workflow, the connected accounts, and the data — permanently.

⚙️ For Sellers: Secure Deployment Best Practices

As a seller on Autonoms AI, deploying automations securely is central to maintaining buyer trust and compliance with platform standards.
Follow this structured process to ensure every delivery meets the Security Guarantee and Definition of Done (DoD).

1. Build & Test in Your Private Environment

Use your own workspace to build and test automations (n8n, Make, Zapier, etc.).

• Never build or test using buyer credentials.
• Use mock data or your own accounts during development.
• Confirm that all nodes, integrations, and triggers function properly.

💡 Tip: Keep your projects modular so they can be exported cleanly when ready.

2. Export the Automation for Buyer Deployment

When the buyer is ready:

• Export the workflow file (e.g., .json for n8n, .zip for Zapier bundles).
• Send it through the in-app project workspace or approved secure channel.
• Guide the buyer on how to import it into their own environment.

3. Assist the Buyer in Connecting via OAuth

During the live deployment call:

• Ask the buyer to log into their tools (Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, etc.) themselves.
• Explain how OAuth authorization works — they grant access, not credentials.
• Ensure no sensitive data or keys are shared in chat or screen shares.

Example:
“Please click ‘Connect Gmail’ and authorize the automation using your Google login. I won’t see your credentials — I’ll just confirm that the connection is active.”

4. Verify Functionality Without Viewing Data

Run a full end-to-end test together:

• The buyer triggers the workflow.
• You confirm each step executes successfully (e.g., message sent, data transferred).
• Validate the output matches expectations without opening or reading buyer data.

If all steps work, the automation meets its Definition of Done (DoD).

5. Complete Handover and Confirm Ownership

Once deployment succeeds:

• Verify the automation is listed in the buyer’s environment.
• Ask the buyer to confirm full access and ownership.
• Close the project and trigger escrow release.

After deployment:

• Do not retain any active connections to the buyer’s accounts.
• If ongoing maintenance is requested, handle it under an AI-Ops-as-a-Service contract or milestone agreement inside the platform.

🧾 Summary: Security Compliance Checklist for Sellers

Step	Requirement	Why It Matters
1	Build in your own environment	Prevents exposure of buyer data
2	Export automation securely	Ensures clean transfer ownership
3	Use OAuth for all connections	No passwords or tokens shared
4	Test functionality only	Confirm automation works, not inspect data
5	Confirm buyer ownership	Final step before escrow release

⚡ Quick Reminder

Escrow release is tied to proof of secure, compliant handover.

Sellers violating OAuth or privacy standards face suspension or removal.

Always use official communication and deployment channels inside Autonoms.

Buyer can hire you fractionally for continuous support, monitoring, optimization or helping them build other workflows
