This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when users connect their Facebook or Instagram business assets to our platform.

  • Business Manager ID and name
  • Facebook Page IDs and names
  • Ad Account IDs, names, and status

We do not collect personal profile data such as friends, posts, messages, or photos.

  • Only authorized staff or automated systems may access this information for maintenance or support.
  • We maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your data.
