Privacy Policy

1. Overview

CloutPost AI ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use cloutpost.cc, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you register, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store plain-text passwords. Authentication is handled by Supabase.

2.2 Content You Provide

When you generate posts, we receive the inputs you enter (your niche, topic, tone, and platform preferences). This data is passed to Anthropic's Claude API to generate content and may be stored in your generation history if you are logged in.

2.3 Usage Data

We track how many generations you perform (by user ID or anonymous IP address) to enforce plan limits. We collect the date and count of generations — not the content of each individual generation in usage logs.

2.4 Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full credit card number. We do store your Stripe customer ID to manage subscriptions and credit purchases. Billing details are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

2.5 LinkedIn Connection (Optional)

If you choose to connect your LinkedIn account, we receive and store an OAuth access token, your LinkedIn display name, and your LinkedIn profile picture URL. This data is used solely to publish posts on your behalf when you choose to do so. We do not read your LinkedIn feed, connections, messages, or any data beyond what is necessary for publishing.

2.6 Technical Data

We may collect standard web server logs including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for security, debugging, and service improvement.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and operate the Service (generate content, enforce plan limits)
• To process payments and manage your subscription or credit balance
• To publish posts to LinkedIn on your behalf (if you connect your account)
• To maintain your generation history so you can review past posts
• To send transactional emails (account confirmation, billing receipts)
• To monitor for abuse, fraud, and violations of our Terms of Service
• To improve the Service based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising targeting.

4. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following third parties only as necessary to operate the Service:

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data and generation history for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at Deathadder90@protonmail.com. We will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days of a verified deletion request, except where we are required to retain data for legal or billing purposes (e.g., transaction records required for tax compliance).

LinkedIn OAuth tokens are stored until they expire or until you disconnect your LinkedIn account from the dashboard.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), server-side authentication validation, and row-level security policies on our database. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at Deathadder90@protonmail.com.

7. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies solely to maintain your login session. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so will prevent you from staying logged in.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection: Object to certain processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, email us at Deathadder90@protonmail.com. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, our legal basis for processing your data is: performance of a contract (providing the Service you signed up for), legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, service improvement), and consent where applicable (LinkedIn connection).

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at Deathadder90@protonmail.com.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
