Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how The Automated Operator ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with our use of third-party platform APIs including Pinterest, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

1. Who We Are

The Automated Operator is a single-operator media brand. Our API integrations are used exclusively by the brand owner to publish and manage content on social media platforms on behalf of this brand. We do not offer services to third-party users.

2. Data We Access

When connecting to social media platforms via their APIs, we may access:

• Account identifiers and profile information (username, account ID)
• Content publishing permissions (to post on behalf of the brand account)
• Basic engagement data (to read post performance)

We access only the minimum data required to publish content. We do not access, store, or process data belonging to any third-party users or followers.

3. How We Use Data

Data accessed via platform APIs is used solely to:

• Publish content (posts, pins, reels, videos) to the brand's own accounts
• Authenticate and maintain API connections

We do not sell, share, or disclose any data to third parties. We do not use platform data for advertising or profiling.

4. Data Storage

OAuth access tokens are stored securely on a private server with AES-256 encryption. No content data or user data from third-party platforms is retained beyond what is necessary for the immediate publishing operation.

5. Third-Party Platforms

Our use of third-party APIs is governed by each platform's own terms and developer policies. We comply fully with:

• Pinterest Developer Guidelines and API Terms of Service
