Third-Party Platform Data (Creator App)

When you connect a third-party social platform to Creator App, we access data through that platform's official API. We process and retain the minimum data needed to provide the analytics features you have asked for. Each platform below has its own terms, and we act in accordance with them.

  • X (operated by X Corp.): We access post metadata, engagement metrics, and account-level analytics via the X API. We request informed consent before taking any action on your behalf. We do not associate X identities with off-platform identifiers without your explicit opt-in. See X's Privacy Policy and Developer Policy.
  • Threads (operated by Meta Platforms, Inc.): We access posts, media, and engagement data you have authorized. Example data types: username, post identifiers, post content, engagement counts, profile picture URL, device identifiers exposed by the API, and IP-derived region data. See Meta's Privacy Policy and the Threads Supplemental Privacy Policy.

For features that use the LinkedIn Marketing API, member social activity data is retained for a maximum of 48 hours and most profile data is deleted within 24 hours. See LinkedIn's Privacy Policy.

We do not use third-party platform data for surveillance, tracking of individuals, monitoring of sensitive events, unlawful discrimination, or any purpose prohibited by the respective platform's developer terms. You may revoke our access to any connected platform from the respective platform's settings or from your Creator App account settings.

Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as needed to provide our services and comply with applicable law. Platform-specific retention rules:

For any platform, you can also revoke our access directly in that platform's settings; once access is revoked, we will delete the associated data within the retention windows described above.
