privacy policy

1. Data We Collect #

We collect information to provide you with social media management services:

  • Account Information: Email address, username, and hashed passwords.
  • Social Media Tokens: When you connect a social account (e.g., LinkedIn, X, Instagram), we store OAuth tokens. These allow the software to post on your behalf.
  • Content: Text, images, and videos you upload to be scheduled or published.
  • Server Logs: Your IP address, browser type, and timestamps are logged for security and to prevent abuse.

2. How We Use Your Data #

We use your data strictly to:

  • Authenticate your login.
  • Execute the scheduling and publishing of your posts.
  • Provide analytics and engagement metrics retrieved from social APIs.
  • Maintain the security and stability of this specific instance.

3. Third-Party Services & APIs #

By using this instance, you are connecting to various third-party Social Media Platforms.

  • API Usage: This instance uses official APIs (like the LinkedIn API or X API). Your data is shared with these platforms only when you trigger a “publish” action.
  • Third-Party Terms: Your data is subject to the privacy policies of any social network you connect. We recommend reviewing them individually.

4. Data Retention & Deletion #

  • Retention: We keep your data as long as your account is active.
  • Deletion: If you delete a social media profile from the dashboard, we remove the associated OAuth tokens from our database. If you request account deletion, we will purge your user record and all associated content within [e.g., 30 days].

5. Security #

As the operator of this instance, I implement industry-standard security measures, including:

  • Encryption at Rest: Sensitive data like API keys and tokens are encrypted within the Postiz database.
  • SSL/TLS: All traffic between your browser and this server is encrypted via HTTPS.
  • Note: No self-hosted environment is 100% impenetrable. You use this service at your own risk.

6. Cookies #

We use “cookies” (small text files) to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.

7. Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA/Other) #

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your data.
  • Object to certain processing activities. To exercise these rights, please contact the administrator at the email below.
