Effective Date: October 11, 2026
1. Introduction
CognisArk Socials ("we", "our", or "us"), accessible at socials.cognisark.com, provides social media automation, video distribution, and content publishing tools. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you access or use our services.
2. Information We Collect
When you use CognisArk Socials, we collect:
- Account Information: Your email address and hashed authentication credentials used to access the service.
- Connected Account Tokens & Identifiers: When you connect third-party platforms such as YouTube (Google) or Meta (Instagram / Facebook), we store authorization tokens, account/channel identifiers, and display names.
- Uploaded Content & Metadata: Video assets, titles, descriptions, tags, scheduled publishing times, and privacy settings configured by you.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information solely to:
- Authenticate and manage your CognisArk Socials account.
- Upload, schedule, and publish video and multimedia content to your designated third-party accounts (such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook) according to your explicit instructions.
- Track and display the status of published media within your dashboard.
4. Google API Services & YouTube User Data
CognisArk Socials' use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
By connecting your YouTube account, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
We access and use YouTube API Services specifically to:
- Authenticate your YouTube channel via OAuth 2.0.
- Upload videos and manage publication metadata (e.g., title, description, tags, privacy status) that you explicitly trigger or schedule.
We do not use your Google or YouTube user data for advertising, nor do we sell, rent, or transfer your Google data to third parties.
5. Data Storage and Security
We implement strict technical safeguards to protect your data. All OAuth tokens and sensitive credentials are encrypted using industry-standard encryption protocols (AES-GCM) both at rest and in transit.
6. Revoking Access and Data Deletion
You can disconnect your connected social accounts at any time directly through the Accounts page in CognisArk Socials, which deletes your stored authorization tokens from our database.
Additionally, you can revoke CognisArk Socials' access to your Google account at any time via the Google Security Settings (Third-party apps with account access).
