Keeping Your Data Safe in the Picsart + Make Integration
When you're integrating Picsart into your Make workflows, protecting your data should be a top priority. Here are the key steps you can take to ensure your data stays secure throughout the automation process.
1. Use Secure Credentials
Always use strong, unique passwords for your Picsart and Make accounts. Avoid reusing credentials across platforms. Consider using a password manager to keep them safe.
2. Rely on API Keys Where Possible
If your Picsart integration requires authentication, use API keys instead of sharing personal login details. API keys are limited in scope and can be revoked anytime if there's a security concern.
3. Stick to Secure Connections
Make sure that all data is transmitted over HTTPS. Never send or receive data over unsecured (HTTP) connections. Make uses SSL encryption by default, and Picsart APIs are also served over HTTPS.
4. Set Access Controls in Make
Limit access to your scenarios, connections, and modules. Only invite team members who need access, and assign appropriate roles and permissions in your Make team account.
5. Minimize Shared Data
Only pass the minimum data needed between Picsart and other apps in your scenario. Avoid sharing sensitive or personally identifiable information unless absolutely required for your automation to function.
6. Review and Audit Regularly
Check your Make scenario execution history and connection logs regularly. Look out for unexpected activity or failed modules, and review access permissions periodically.
7. Follow Compliance Standards
If you're working with personal data or sensitive business information, ensure your integration complies with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA (depending on your region and industry). Store and process data responsibly.
8. Know Your Vendors' Security Practices
Both Make and Picsart are responsible for protecting your data. Make uses industry-standard security protocols, and Picsart offers enterprise-level infrastructure. Learn more by reviewing their security and privacy policies on their official websites.
9. Maintain Backups
Although Make and Picsart do not store your media or data permanently, it's a good practice to keep backups of any critical assets on your own systems—especially before running automated transformations or deletions.
10. Educate Your Team
Train anyone who builds or manages Make scenarios on security best practices. This includes creating strong passwords, recognizing phishing attempts, and understanding the impact of misconfigured modules or over-sharing data.
