Where you have provided consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only with trusted service providers necessary to operate the platform:

When you connect social media accounts (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc.):

  • We use OAuth 2.0 — we receive an access token, not your password
  • Access tokens are stored encrypted in our database
  • We access only the permissions you explicitly grant
  • We use access tokens solely to publish content on your behalf as configured
  • We do not read your private messages, contacts, or unrelated data

You can revoke our access at any time from your SocialPosts AI dashboard or directly from the platform security settings. Revoking access does not trigger a refund but will stop scheduled publishing to that platform.
