Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Cultivate ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our service at cultivate-social.app (the "Service").

• Account information: name, email address, and password (stored as a hash).
• Content you create: captions, images, scheduling data, and brand voice inputs you enter into Cultivate.
• Social account connections: OAuth tokens and account identifiers from LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, used solely to post content on your behalf when you request it.
• Usage data: basic analytics about how you use the Service, such as which features you use and when.
• Payment information: handled by our payment processor Stripe; we do not store card numbers on our servers.

How We Use Your Information

• To send you important service notifications and responses to support requests.
• To improve the Service and diagnose problems.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by emailing smiles@cultivate-social.app. You may disconnect any connected social account from within the Cultivate dashboard, which immediately revokes our access to that account.

Data Retention

We retain your account information and content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal information and content from our active systems within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and restricted database access to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard your data.

Children

Cultivate is not intended for anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify you by email.
