By using or accessing the Services ("Typefully") in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy. You hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information outlined in this document.

The privacy of your data is important to us. We will only ever access your account to help you with a problem or fix a software bug. We’ll never open any private content such as "drafts", “posts, "tweets" or "threads" unless you ask us to.

The information we collect and why

When you sign up or login to Typefully we collect information related to your X / Twitter account such as your X / Twitter user ID, X / Twitter screen name, and access keys for the X / Twitter API. Why we collect this: We need these details for our X / Twitter related services to function, and so that we can use X / Twitter API functions on your behalf in order to provide our services on your X / Twitter account.

We collect or process certain additional data contained in your X / Twitter account (which could potentially contain sensitive data) where the functionality of the service we are providing requires it. This could include your posts. We only collect this type of data in order to provide a service you've asked us to by signing up. We're careful to only hold it for as long as necessary, and the main purpose of the app is to allow you to you write, schedule, and publish tweets.

If you choose to connect your LinkedIn, Mastodon, or Threads accounts with Typefully, we will collect certain information from your these accounts, including, for example, your LinkedIn user ID, LinkedIn screen name, and access keys for the LinkedIn API. In this case, we collect this information so that we can use LinkedIn API functions on your behalf in order to provide services on your LinkedIn account. There may be instances where we may also collect additional data contained in your LinkedIn account where the functionality our service is providing requires it. We only collect this type of data in order to provide a service you've asked us to.

We collect various information about visitors to our website due to our use of common internet technologies such as web server logs. These include details such as browser type, language preference, referring site, additional websites requested, and the date and time of each visitor request. We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. We collect this information to understand how visitors use our websites, and to monitor and protect the security and stability of our websites.

For our in-app purchase flow, we collect related information such as payment amounts, times and currencies to validate and secure payments. We also have a legal obligation to keep certain data for the purpose of tax calculation. We do not collect sensitive information such as credit card numbers as these are handled by Stripe, our payment processor.

Typefully uses third party services, such as cloud computing providers and customer support software, to provide our services. These are listed in the section “Processors we use” below. By using our services, you agree to the X / Twitter Privacy Policy.

Cookies

We use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other similar technologies (collectively referred to as “Cookies”) to recognize you when you visit our public website at typefully.com (the "Website") and our online software-as-a-service platform including any related APIs provided by us (collectively, “Services”).

We use Cookies for several reasons. Some Cookies are required for technical reasons that are essential for our Services to operate and to provide user-requested functionality, while we use other Cookies to embed analytics into our websites, and lastly we use some Cookies for marketing purposes.

Here’s a list of the Cookies that we’re using:

  • Rewardful. It allows our affiliates earn commissions when people visit our website from their links, and then upgrade to paid services.

Your Rights With Respect to Your Information

You may have heard about the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) in Europe. GDPR gives people under its protection certain rights with respect to their personal information collected by us on the Site. Accordingly, Typefully recognizes and will comply with GDPR and those rights, except as limited by applicable law.

The rights under GDPR include:

  • Right of Access. This includes your right to access the personal information we gather about you, and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security and processing of that information.

  • Right to Correction. This is your right to request correction of your personal information.

  • Right to Erasure. This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations under applicable law, that your personal information be erased from our possession (also known as the “Right to be forgotten”). However, if applicable law requires us to comply with your request to delete your information, fulfillment of your request may prevent you from using Typefully and may result in closing your account.

  • Right to Complain. You have the right to make a complaint regarding our handling of your personal information with the appropriate supervisory authority.

  • Right to Restrict Processing. This is your right to request restriction of how and why your personal information is used or processed.

  • Right to Object. This is your right, in certain situations, to object to how or why your personal information is processed.

  • Right to Portability. This is your right to receive the personal information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.

  • Right to not be subject to Automated Decision-Making. This is your right to object and prevent any decision that could have a legal, or similarly significant, effect on you from being made solely based on automated processes. This right is limited, however, if the decision is necessary for performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable European law, or is based on your explicit consent.

Many of these rights can be exercised by signing in and directly updating your account information. If you have questions about exercising these rights or need assistance, please contact us at [email protected].

Processors we use
