ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

API collections often contain example request bodies, environment variables, or test data that may include real credentials or personal information — publishing to the public API Network without careful review can expose sensitive data to the entire internet.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Postman's terms cap the company's financial liability to users at the amount paid in the prior 12 months or $100, whichever is greater, meaning free-tier users have virtually no financial recourse if the platform causes data loss or service disruption. Users also grant Postman a broad license to content they upload, which is relevant for developers who store API collections, environment variables, or test data containing sensitive information. You can review and delete your workspaces and stored data through your Postman account settings to limit what content remains on the platform.

How other platforms handle this

Google Gemini High

If you access our generative AI services through the API, you're also responsible for ensuring your use, and the use by those who access the services through your platform, complies with our usage policies. You must implement appropriate safeguards to prevent prohibited uses by your users.

RapidAPI High

Your use of third-party APIs available through the RapidAPI platform is subject to the applicable API provider's terms of service, and you agree to comply with such terms. RapidAPI is not responsible for any third-party APIs or their terms.

Cursor Medium

Even if you use your API key, your requests will still go through our backend! That's where we do our final prompt building.
