- Content data: posts, comments, reactions, and tags you create in the Service.
- Technical data: IP address, browser/device metadata, timestamps, session and cookie data, and logs.
- Optional social connection data: if you connect TikTok, we store tokens and account identifiers needed to publish or check publish status.
2. How We Use Information

3. Cookies and Sessions
We use cookies and similar storage for authentication, session continuity, and security controls. If you block cookies, some parts of the Service may not work properly.
Website analytics
We use self-hosted Umami analytics to understand page visits, article opens and clicks. Heatmaps and session recordings capture interactions and displayed page content; URLs and query parameters may be included. The recorder masks form inputs using its standard protection. We respect browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals.
4. How We Share Information

- Integrated platforms (such as social providers) only when you explicitly connect and use those integrations.
- Legal or safety disclosures where required by law or to protect users, us, or the public.
5. Data Retention
We retain data as needed to operate the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our terms. Retention periods may vary by data type and account state.
6. Your Choices
- You can edit profile details and content in the Service where controls exist.
- You can disconnect linked social providers through available account controls.
- You can request account/data deletion by contacting us.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure.
