BLACKLINE LOGIC’S ROLE
BlackLine Logic may process information in different capacities depending on the circumstances. Information Collected Directly by BlackLine Logic When you visit our website, submit a form, request a consultation, communicate directly with us, receive a proposal, or become a client, BlackLine Logic determines how that information is used for our own business purposes.

BlackLine Logic processes that information to provide the services requested by the client and according to the client’s instructions, our agreement with the client, and applicable law. If your privacy question relates to a particular business using BlackLine Logic technology, you should generally contact that business directly. BlackLine Logic will reasonably assist the client with responding when appropriate.

Artificial intelligence systems are not perfect. They may misunderstand information, omit information, generate an incorrect result, or require human review. Clients are responsible for determining where human review is appropriate.

The specific information processed through n8n depends on the workflow.
