Showcase AI is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes in detail how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website, application, and services (collectively, the "Service"), including our video/photo creation and social media scheduling tools.
By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Service.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide, operate, and improve the Service.
a. Personal Information You Provide
When you register, subscribe, or contact us, we may collect:
- Account Data: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and account credentials (username and an encrypted password hash).
- Billing Data: For paid subscriptions, we collect billing details via our third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe). We do not store or process your full credit/debit card numbers on our servers.
- Communication Data: Contents of your inquiries when you contact our support team.
b. User-Generated Content & Creative Assets
When you use Showcase AI to create videos, we may collect:
- Input Materials: Text, images, scripts, media files, and any other content you manually upload or input into the Showcase AI platform.
- AI-Generated Outputs: Videos, avatars, graphics, and other creative assets ("Creatives") generated by the Service based on your input and instructions.
- Scheduled Posts: Content (including Creatives, captions, and scheduling details) you prepare using our scheduler module for publication to connected social platforms.
c. Data from Connected Third-Party Accounts (OAuth)
We use secure OAuth protocols to connect to platforms only with your explicit permission. We request the minimum scopes necessary for functionality.
Google & YouTube:
- Data Collected: Basic profile (name, email), OAuth tokens.
- Permissions Used: For YouTube: youtube.upload to publish videos you schedule. We may also request youtube.readonly to validate your channel.
- 🔒 Critical Note: We do not access your broader Google data (e.g., Drive, Gmail, Search history). Our use is strictly limited to authentication and publishing your prepared Creatives to YouTube as you direct.
Facebook, Instagram & Threads:
- Data Collected: Account ID, basic profile info, OAuth tokens.
- Permissions Used: pages_read_engagement, pages_manage_posts, instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish to read your pages/accounts, schedule posts, and publish your Creatives.
- 🔒 Critical Note: We do not access your private messages, friend lists, or news feed data. Data is used solely to manage and publish content to the professional accounts/pages you authorize.
Pinterest:
- Data Collected: Account ID, OAuth tokens.
- Permissions Used: boards:read, boards:write, pins:read, pins:write to access your boards, create Pins, and publish your Creatives.

d. Technical & Usage Data
We automatically collect:
- Log data (IP address, browser type, OS).
- Device identifiers.
- Usage patterns (features accessed, time spent, clicks).
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain session state, analyze trends, and personalize your experience. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following business purposes:
- To create, manage, and secure your account.
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Service's core functionality: AI-assisted content creation and social media scheduling/publishing.
- To process transactions and send service-related communications.
- To authenticate connections to third-party platforms (Google, Facebook, Pinterest) and execute publishing actions (scheduled posts) explicitly authorized by you.
- To personalize your experience and develop new features.
- To monitor Service usage, detect and prevent technical issues, fraud, or abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. AI Services & Data Processing: Our Core Commitment
This section is fundamental to our service design.
- Strict Data Segregation for AI Features: Our optional AI-assisted content creation tools (e.g., video generation, avatar creation) process only the specific text, images, or media you manually upload or input into the AI feature module.
Absolute Isolation from Social Data: Our AI models and services DO NOT receive, process, or have access to:
- Any data imported from or related to your Google/YouTube, Facebook/Instagram, or Pinterest accounts.
- Your OAuth tokens, social profiles, friend lists, or private social content.
- Any data from your social media scheduler module unless you explicitly copy/paste or upload that specific content into an AI tool input field.
No Training on Your Data: WE DO NOT USE user data from connected platforms (Google, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube) or your generated Creatives to train, fine-tune, or improve our own or any third-party generalized AI/machine learning models. Our AI tools are provided "as-is" by our partners, and your data is processed ephemerally to generate your requested output.
Compliance: Our limited, segregated use of data from Google APIs fully complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
4. How We Share and Disclose Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share data in these limited circumstances:
- With Trusted Service Providers: Vendors who perform services for us (payment processing, cloud hosting, customer support, analytics), under strict contractual data protection obligations.
- For Legal Reasons: To comply with law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; to protect the rights, property, and safety of us, our users, or the public.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition, where user information may be among the transferred assets. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service of any change in ownership.
- With Your Consent: At your direction or when you explicitly choose to share information (e.g., publishing a Creative to a social platform).
5. Data Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, strict access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no electronic transmission or storage system is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your account credentials.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. You may delete your user-generated content from your account. OAuth tokens and connected account data are deleted upon your disconnection of the platform within the Service or upon account deletion.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You have control over your data:
- Access & Correction: View and update your account information in your Account Settings.
- Deletion: Request account deletion by contacting support.
- Third-Party Connections: Revoke our access to any connected platform (Google, Facebook, Pinterest) at any time via your Account Settings or the platform's own security settings (e.g., Google Security, Facebook Login Settings).
