App-provider approval packet

Put the required Meta and app-review answers in one place.

This packet identifies who operates Reputably, why permissions are requested, how connected platform data is used, and where users request deletion, privacy support, or GDPR assistance.

Legal entity and support contact

Reputably is a product by Aitomation Pty Ltd. Platform, privacy, data deletion, DPA, and app-review requests go to contact@reputably.net.

Permission justification

Document each requested Meta, Instagram, Facebook, or platform permission by workflow, user action, asset type, and customer-approved purpose.

Platform data boundaries

Use connected platform data only to provide approved monitoring, review, routing, reporting, or campaign workflows. Do not sell platform data or reuse it for unrelated advertising.

Deletion and GDPR path

Keep account, workspace, connected-platform, and inquiry deletion requests tied to the same public contact path and customer agreement process.

Approval packets

Give each reviewer clear evidence for approval, follow-up, or early rejection.

Procurement does not fail because one page is missing. It slows down when finance, security, legal, operations, and the champion each need different review details. Use these packets to route the right questions before the buying meeting.

Finance and procurement

Why this deserves budget when vendor lists are getting shorter.

Evidence: Pricing drivers, plan fit, overlap with existing tools, pilot scorecard, and expansion triggers.

Review commercial fit

Security, privacy, and AI

What data is involved, who can access it, where AI assists, and what stays human-approved.

Evidence: Security posture, privacy notice, responsible AI guide, data categories, and public-action boundaries.

Open trust packet

Implementation owners

How the first profile launches without creating another unowned dashboard.

Evidence: Brands, locations, sources, owners, routing rules, integrations, reporting cadence, and support path.

Plan implementation

Executive champion

Business case, proof, and governance story for the decision team.

Evidence: Executive brief, proof center, business case, pilot criteria, and the decision to start, narrow, or pause.

Buyer context

Procurement is asking sharper questions about every new tool.

Reputably is evaluated as an operating workflow, not another passive dashboard. The review connects cost, data, governance, and proof of value.

Software buyers are consolidating vendors

Enterprise software sprawl has made procurement teams ask sharper questions about overlap, utilization, billing, and why each platform deserves a place in the stack.

Review sequence

Move from buying case to agreement path.

Procurement starts from a packaged demo output. Use this sequence to organize commercial, security, data, implementation, and legal questions together.

Confirm commercial fit

Define the problem, buyer team, first workflow, plan fit, expected outcomes, and whether the pilot has a clear owner.

Review data and source scope

List the business profiles, public sources, review workflows, prompt sets, reports, and user roles needed for launch.

Map governance

Document who approves public replies, outreach, review responses, campaign messages, reports, and sensitive escalations.

Plan implementation

Decide first locations or clients, routing rules, integrations, reporting cadence, support needs, and expansion triggers.

Package agreement items

Route pricing, privacy, terms, data-processing, security, and order-form questions into the customer agreement path.

Review guardrails

Do not rely on this page as a signed legal, privacy, security, or data-processing agreement.

Confirm customer-specific terms, pricing, support, service levels, and data-processing needs in the applicable agreement.

Keep public replies, outreach, review responses, and customer messaging under human approval.

Avoid adding sensitive personal data or unrelated confidential information to monitoring profiles unless necessary and approved.

Keep client, brand, and location boundaries clear for agencies and multi-location teams.

Use the pilot scorecard to decide whether to expand, narrow, or stop the rollout.

FAQ

Procurement questions buyers ask first.

Is this a formal security or legal document?

This procurement page summarizes public vendor-review information. Formal legal, security, privacy, data-processing, pricing, and service terms are handled in the applicable customer agreement and procurement process.

What does procurement review first?

Start with scope, data categories, access expectations, human-review workflow, source coverage, pricing fit, implementation plan, and the documents linked from this page.

Does Reputably automatically post replies or outreach?

Reputably finds, explains, routes, and reports signals. Public replies, outreach, review responses, and campaign messages remain under customer-controlled human review.

What belongs in a first vendor review packet?

Include the business case, RFP template, pricing scope, implementation plan, security and privacy notes, source coverage, integration path, proof center, pilot scorecard, and any customer-specific contract questions.

How can teams avoid buying another unused tool?

Define the first workflow, owner map, success criteria, and reporting cadence before launch. Expand only when the pilot proves useful signals, completed actions, and stakeholder-readable reports.
