1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, use our services, or contact us for support.

Personal Information:

• Name and email address
• Payment information
• Account preferences and settings
• Content you create using our platform

Third-Party Platform Data:

When you connect your social media accounts (YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram), we collect:

• OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens required to publish content on your behalf
• Your channel or account identifier, used to associate uploads with your account
• Basic profile information (channel name, profile picture) for display within ViralCast

We do not access your private videos, watch history, playlists, subscriptions, or any data beyond what is necessary to upload videos on your behalf.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services
• Process transactions and send related information
• Send technical notices and support messages
• Communicate with you about products, services, and events
• Monitor and analyze trends and usage
• Publish videos to your connected social media accounts (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) when you initiate a publish action

We only use your connected platform credentials to perform actions you explicitly request. We never upload content to your accounts without your direct instruction.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties except:

• With your explicit consent
• To comply with legal obligations
• To protect our rights and safety
• With trusted service providers who assist in operating our platform

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

OAuth tokens for connected platforms are stored encrypted at rest and are only accessed server-side when performing publish actions you initiate. Tokens are never exposed to client-side code or shared with any third party.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access and update your personal information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to processing of your personal information
• Request data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Disconnect any connected social media account at any time from your ViralCast settings

When you disconnect a platform account or delete your ViralCast account, we immediately delete all stored OAuth tokens and platform credentials associated with that connection. You can also revoke ViralCast's access directly from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze site traffic, and improve our services. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

8. Third-Party Platform Integrations

ViralCast integrates with the following third-party platforms to publish videos on your behalf:

YouTube (Google)

We use the YouTube Data API v3 to upload videos to your YouTube channel. We request the youtube.upload scope to publish videos and the youtube.readonly scope to read basic channel metadata like your channel name and profile picture for display inside ViralCast. We do not read your private videos, watch history, playlists, or subscriptions. Our use of YouTube API data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can revoke access at any time via your Google security settings.

TikTok

We use the TikTok Content Posting API to publish videos to your TikTok account. We only access the permissions necessary to upload videos and do not access your private TikTok data.

Instagram (Meta)

We use the Instagram Graph API to publish Reels to your Instagram account. We only access the permissions necessary to upload content and do not access your private messages, followers, or other personal data.

Our service may also contain links to other third-party websites or services. This privacy policy does not apply to those third-party services, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

9. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
