All third-party providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify. Social media platforms have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data shared through their APIs.

We retain your account information and posts for as long as your account is active.
When you delete your account, we will delete your personal data and posts within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

Security Measures
We protect your information with:
- Encryption of data in transit (SSL/TLS)

While we implement security measures, no system is 100% secure. We recommend using strong passwords and keeping your account credentials secure.

When you use our AI features to generate content, captions, or suggestions, your prompts and content may be processed by third-party AI services (such as OpenAI).
AI-generated content is created based on your inputs and stored in your account. We do not use your content to train AI models.
You can choose not to use AI features at any time.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements.
We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date on this page and, if necessary, sending an email notification.

Social Media Platform Data
When you connect your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn), we access data through their official APIs to publish your content and retrieve analytics.
Each platform has its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to understand how they handle your data.
You can disconnect your social media accounts at any time from your account settings, which will revoke our access to your accounts.
