certain customer information had been inadvertently copied to the repositories for debugging purposes.

As someone who assisted with rolling out a project based on Zapier I'm not surprised. The incompetence of this platform is frankly quite incredible and committing customer's private data for debugging is just a next level fumble especially in the age of LLMs when data obfuscation is literally 1 prompt away.
