This Privacy Policy explains how social.alphabyte.org ("we", "us", "our", the "Service") collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use our social media management and scheduling platform. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide the core Service: authenticating you, connecting your social accounts, scheduling and publishing your posts, and displaying analytics.
- To operate and secure the platform: fraud prevention, debugging, abuse detection, and enforcing our Terms of Use.
- To process payments and manage subscriptions.
- To communicate with you: account activation, welcome and password-reset emails, service notices, and support responses.
- To improve the Service: aggregate, de-identified usage analysis.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use content from your connected social accounts for advertising or profiling.
3. Third-Party Social Platforms
When you connect a social account, we receive data from that platform through its official API, limited to the permissions you approve. We use platform data only to provide the features you request (publishing, scheduling, analytics) and in line with each platform's developer policies, including the Meta Platform Terms, X Developer Agreement, Google API Services User Data Policy (for YouTube), LinkedIn API Terms, TikTok, and Pinterest policies. Your use of those platforms remains governed by their own privacy policies.
4. How We Share Information
- Social platforms you choose: your content is transmitted to the networks you select for publishing — this is the core function of the Service.
- Service providers: hosting/infrastructure providers, email (SMTP) delivery, and payment processors (e.g., PayPal, Stripe), each bound by their own data-protection obligations.
- Legal requirements: where required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Business transfers: in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
5. Data Retention
We keep your account data, connected-account tokens, content, and analytics for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account or request deletion (see our Data Deletion page), we delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except: (a) payment/invoice records retained as required by tax and accounting law, and (b) server backups and logs, which are purged on a rolling schedule (typically within 90 days).
6. Security
We use industry-standard measures including HTTPS/SSL encryption in transit, hashed password storage, and restricted access to production systems. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please keep your credentials confidential and notify us of any suspected breach at contact@artiphex.com.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location (including under GDPR and similar laws), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Request deletion of your data (see User Data Deletion).
- Object to or restrict certain processing, and request data portability.
- Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., disconnect a social account or revoke app access in the platform's settings), without affecting prior lawful processing.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
To exercise any right, email contact@artiphex.com. We respond within 30 days.
8. Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management, and preference cookies (e.g., language, timezone). If analytics cookies are used, they are limited to aggregate usage measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may prevent login.
9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed at children under 16 (or the applicable age of digital consent). We do not knowingly collect their data; if you believe a child has registered, contact us and we will delete the account.
10. International Transfers
Your data is processed on servers located in [server location] and may be transferred to countries with different data-protection laws. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses).
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date, and where appropriate notified by email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
