Privacy Policy

Brand Machine is a SaaS platform operated by Digital Arts Institute that helps users create, localize, schedule, and publish content across social media channels. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

When you create a Brand Machine account, we collect your name, email address, password (stored encrypted), workspace details, and basic profile information. We use this data to provide and secure your account.

We store the content you upload to Brand Machine — including text, images, video, audio, captions, translations, and scheduling metadata — so we can process, localize, and publish it on your behalf. You retain ownership of all content you upload.

When you connect a social account (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, or others), we receive an OAuth access token, the connected account or page name, the account ID, and the scopes you authorized. Tokens are stored encrypted and used only to perform actions you initiate inside Brand Machine.

We request only the minimum permissions needed to publish, schedule, and manage the content you create in Brand Machine — for example, Facebook permissions such as pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement, and pages_manage_posts. We never post without your explicit instruction.

For posts you publish through Brand Machine we retrieve performance metrics (reach, impressions, engagement, clicks) from the connected platforms so we can show analytics inside your workspace. We also collect aggregated, non-identifying product usage data to improve the service.

We use your data to: provide and operate the platform, publish content you schedule, show analytics, secure your account, communicate service updates, and improve Brand Machine. We do not sell your data and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Your data is stored on secure servers operated on our behalf by trusted infrastructure providers. Access tokens and credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit.

You can disconnect any social account at any time from inside Brand Machine, or revoke access directly with the social platform. To delete your account and all associated content, email contact@digitalarts.institute from the address on file. We will remove your data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain limited records for legal or accounting purposes.
