Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to SocialGrow ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, including:

  • Account information (name, email address) when you register
  • Instagram account data when you connect your account via OAuth
  • Messages and comments you manage through our platform
  • Any other information you choose to provide

Link tracking

When a creator adds a button with a link to an automation, that button points at a SocialGrow redirect so we can count how many times it is opened. The count is per button link and counts every open — it is not per person. We do not record who opened a link, do not store IP addresses, device information or location, do not set cookies, and do not build advertising profiles. Links typed into the message itself are never modified or tracked.

Google user data

When you sign in with Google or connect a YouTube channel, we receive and store the following data from Google:

  • Your name, email address, and profile picture, from Google Sign-In
  • Your YouTube channel ID, channel title, and channel thumbnail, read once via the YouTube Data API so we can show you which channel you are publishing to
  • The videos you choose to publish, together with the title, description, and privacy setting you enter for each one

We do not read your YouTube watch history, subscriptions, comments, or any videos you did not publish through SocialGrow.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Process and send auto-replies on your behalf
  • Send you technical notices and support messages
  • Respond to your comments and questions

4. How We Share, Transfer, and Disclose Your Information

We do not sell your personal information or Google user data, and we do not use it for advertising or to train generalised artificial intelligence models.

We share information only with the service providers listed below, and only to the extent needed to operate SocialGrow. For each one we state exactly what it receives.

  • Google LLC / YouTube — when you publish a video, the video file and the title, description, and privacy setting you entered are transferred to YouTube through YouTube API Services in order to create the upload on your own channel.
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. (Instagram / Facebook) — replies, comments, and direct messages you send through SocialGrow are transferred to Instagram so they can be delivered. No Google user data is sent to Meta.
  • Dodo Payments — our payments and subscription provider. Receives your name, email address, and billing details in order to process payments. No Google or YouTube user data is sent to Dodo Payments.
  • DeepSeek — used only to draft a suggested YouTube title and description when you repurpose an Instagram Reel. It receives only the Instagram caption and the Instagram username. No Google user data, no YouTube data, and no video content is sent to DeepSeek.
  • Axiom — our application logging and monitoring provider. Receives operational logs which may contain internal account identifiers and error details. Logs do not contain YouTube content, video files, or Google account credentials.
  • Cloudflare — serves our website and dashboard and provides network security. Processes traffic in transit; it does not receive stored Google user data.

SocialGrow runs on servers we manage directly. Your account data, Instagram data, and Google user data are stored in our own database and are not hosted with a third-party data platform.

We may also disclose information in these limited circumstances:

  • Legal requirements — if we are required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
  • Safety and enforcement — to investigate suspected fraud, security incidents, or violations of our Terms of Service.
  • Business transfer — if SocialGrow is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5. Limited Use of Google User Data

SocialGrow's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We request the narrowest scopes needed to operate the publishing feature, we use Google user data only to provide and improve that user-facing feature, we do not transfer it except as described in section 4, and we do not allow humans to read it except with your explicit consent, for security purposes, to comply with applicable law, or where the data has been aggregated and anonymised.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. Instagram access tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services.

  • Delete your SocialGrow account and all associated data — you may request this at any time by visiting your account settings or contacting us at [email protected]. We will process the request within 30 days.
  • Revoke YouTube API access — you can revoke SocialGrow's access to your YouTube/Google account independently via Google Security Settings. Upon revocation, we will no longer be able to access your YouTube data through the API.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access and receive a copy of your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate personal data
  • Request deletion of your personal data
  • Object to processing of your personal data

9. Cookies and Device Data

SocialGrow stores, accesses, and collects information on and from your devices, including through the use of cookies, local storage, and similar technologies. These are used to maintain your login session, remember your preferences, and improve our services. By using SocialGrow, you consent to this use of cookies and similar technologies. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling cookies may affect service functionality.

10. Third-Party Services

Our service integrates with the following third-party platforms:

  • Instagram / Facebook (Meta Platforms, Inc.) — Your use of Instagram features through SocialGrow is subject to Meta's privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand their data practices.
  • YouTube API Services (Google LLC) — SocialGrow uses YouTube API Services to enable video publishing and cross-posting to YouTube on your behalf. By using these features, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and your data is also governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can review and revoke SocialGrow's access to your YouTube data at any time via Google Security Settings.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
