1. Who we are

ApprovedBy, LLC is the controller responsible for the information described in this Policy. You can reach us at service@chenoa.co or at the address in Section 15.

2. Information we collect

  • Account information you provide when you register or contact us, such as name, email address, and organization or brand details.
  • Content you create, upload, generate, or schedule through the Services, and related settings and metadata.
  • Connected-platform data obtained via the platforms’ APIs when you authorize a connection (see Section 3).
  • Usage and device data, such as log data, IP address, browser or device type, and interactions with the Services, collected to operate and secure them.

3. Data we access from connected platforms

When you connect a social platform account, you authorize us to access certain data through that platform’s API to provide the Services. Depending on the platform and the permissions you grant, this may include:

CategoryExamplesWhy
Account identifiersAccount, channel, or board IDs; handle/username; profile basicsTo identify the destination and publish on your behalf
Authorization credentialsOAuth access and refresh tokens issued by the platformTo act on your behalf via the API (stored encrypted; see Section 12)
Publishing dataContent you schedule, posts/pins/videos created, and status/resultsTo create, publish, and report on your content
Basic metricsWhere you enable it, limited engagement or delivery metadataTo show publishing status and results

We access only the data needed to provide the features you use, consistent with the permissions (scopes) you approve during authorization. We do not request or store your platform login passwords.

4. How we use information

  • To operate, provide, and maintain the Services, including creating, scheduling, and publishing your content to platforms you designate;
  • To authenticate you and secure the Services;
  • To communicate with you about the Services;
  • To comply with law and enforce our terms.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use connected-platform data to serve you third-party advertising.

5. YouTube API Services & Google data

Our Services use YouTube API Services. By using the related features you are also agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and you should review the Google Privacy Policy, which describes how Google handles information.

  • What we access: with your authorization, your YouTube channel identifiers and the ability to upload and manage videos you publish through the Services, together with the OAuth tokens needed to do so.
  • How we use it: solely to publish and manage the content you direct us to, and to show you its status. We do not use it for advertising and do not share it with third parties except as described in Section 8.
  • Revoking access: you can revoke our access to your Google/YouTube data at any time through the Google security settings page at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
  • Limited Use: our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
  • Storage: we retain YouTube-derived data only as long as needed to provide the Services and delete it when you disconnect, on request, or when it is no longer needed (see Sections 9–10).

6. Meta / Instagram data

When you connect a Meta or Instagram account, we access account identifiers and the authorization tokens needed to publish and manage the content you direct us to, in accordance with your granted permissions and Meta’s Platform Terms and Developer Policies. We process this data only as described in this Policy and with your consent, we do not share it with third parties except as described in Section 8, and we do not use it to build or augment user profiles for advertising. You can disconnect the integration at any time through the Services or via your Meta/Instagram settings (Settings & Privacy → Apps and Websites), and you may request deletion of the data we hold as described under Requesting Data Deletion.

7. X, TikTok & Pinterest data

When you connect an X, TikTok, or Pinterest account, we access the account identifiers and authorization tokens needed to publish and manage content on your behalf, consistent with the permissions you grant and each platform’s terms and developer policies (X, TikTok, Pinterest). We use this data only to provide the Services, do not sell it, and delete it when you disconnect, on request, or when it is no longer needed. You can also revoke access from within each platform’s connected-apps settings.

8. How we share information

  • With the platforms you designate, to publish and manage your content at your direction.
  • With service providers (for example, hosting, storage, and infrastructure) who process data on our behalf under confidentiality and data-protection obligations and only to provide services to us.
  • For legal reasons, where required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Services.
  • In a business transfer, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share connected-platform data with third parties for their own marketing.

9. Data retention

We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide the Services and for legitimate, described purposes. We do not retain connected-platform data indefinitely. We delete or de-identify data when you disconnect an account, when you request deletion, when it is no longer needed for a legitimate business purpose, when we stop offering the Services, or when a platform requires us to.

10. Requesting Data Deletion

You can request deletion of the personal data we hold about you, including data obtained from connected platforms, at any time:

  • In the Services: disconnect a platform account or delete your account, which removes the associated tokens and connected-platform data we hold.
  • By request: email service@chenoa.co with the subject “Data Deletion Request” and the account(s) involved. We will verify your request and delete the applicable data without undue delay, except where we are required or permitted by law to retain it.
  • From the platform side: you can also revoke our access from the platform’s own connected-apps settings — for example, Meta/Instagram (Settings & Privacy → Apps and Websites), Google/YouTube (https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions), and the equivalent settings for X, TikTok, and Pinterest. Revoking access stops further data access and triggers deletion of the associated tokens on our side.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Residents of certain U.S. states and of the EEA/UK may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA and the GDPR. To exercise any right, contact us at service@chenoa.co. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights, and you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

12. How we protect information

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information appropriate to its sensitivity. Platform authorization tokens are stored in encrypted form, and access is restricted to what is needed to operate the Services. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Children

The Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it. Where any feature could be child-directed, we comply with applicable requirements, including COPPA and the GDPR.

14. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated Policy with a new effective date and, for material changes, provide additional notice by reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
