Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: When you register, we collect your email address through Google Authentication. We do not store your password.
• Social Media Data: We prioritize your privacy by only storing the unique identifiers (IDs) of Instagram comments from accounts you connect to our service.

  We explicitly do NOT store the actual content of the comments, the comment text, or any media associated with the comments. This privacy-focused approach allows us to track which comments have been read without storing any of the actual comment content itself, keeping your social media interactions private and secure.

• Cookies: We use cookies solely to store authentication tokens that are required for the functioning of the app. We do not use cookies for tracking your activity, behavior, or for analytics purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for very specific purposes:

• Providing and maintaining our service
• Tracking which comments have been read (using only comment IDs, never the content)
• Authentication and maintaining your session
• Providing customer support

We prioritize data minimization and only collect what is necessary for the functioning of our service.

By not storing the actual content of comments, we enhance your privacy and reduce potential data exposure risks.

4. Data Storage and Security

We store your data securely using industry-standard security practices.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Authentication: For user authentication. Please see our section on Google's Privacy Policy below to understand how they handle your data.
• Instagram: To access and manage comments. Please see our section on Instagram's Privacy Policy below.
• Hosting and Infrastructure: We use cloud services to host our application.
• AI Services: We may use AI services to enhance our service functionality.

Each of these services has their own privacy policies that govern how they handle your data.

6. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.
