Privacy Policy
What we collect, how we use it, and how you can remove it.
Effective July 8, 2026
Aligned is a done-for-you social media management service operated by Elegant Basics LLC, doing business as “Aligned” (“we,” “us”) — 315 Lakes Dr, Enterprise, AL 36330. With your permission, we publish content to your connected social media accounts on your behalf. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how you can remove it. Contact us any time at rebecca@rainsoftse.com.
Information we collect
Account & contact details you give us: your business name and contact email. Social account connections: when you connect a Facebook Page, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube account, the platform gives us an authorization (an access token and a refresh token) plus your account identifier and display name, which we store so we can post for you. Content: the captions, images, and videos we prepare and publish for you. Operational logs: the status of posts we publish.
We do notcollect your social account passwords. Connection is done through each platform’s official login — we never see or store your password.
How we use it
Solely to operate the service you hired us for: to compose and publish posts to the accounts you connect, on the schedule we agree, and to notify you if a connection needs re-authorizing. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.
Platform services we rely on
Publishing on your behalf uses the official APIs of Meta (Facebook, Instagram), TikTok, and Google (YouTube). Those connections are also governed by their terms:
- YouTube: Our service uses YouTube API Services. By connecting YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can revoke our access at any time via Google security settings.
- Meta: Governed by the Meta Platform Terms and Meta’s Data Policy.
- TikTok: Governed by TikTok’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
How we store and protect it
Access and refresh tokens are stored encrypted and are accessible only to our backend systems — never exposed publicly or to other clients. Access is restricted to authorized Aligned personnel operating your account.
How long we keep it
We keep your connection tokens only while you are an active client. When you disconnect an account or end the service, we revoke and delete the associated tokens (see Data Deletion). We may retain minimal post-history logs unless you ask us to delete them.
Your choices and rights
- Disconnect any platform at any time; we stop posting to it and delete its tokens.
- Request deletion of all your data — see our Data Deletion instructions.
- Revoke Aligned’s access directly from each platform’s connected-apps settings.
Changes
We will post any changes here and update the effective date.
