Privacy notice

This notice describes the local PublitSi instance used to manage your own, authorised social media accounts. Last updated: 2 November 2026.

Who is responsible

This instance is run by the person who runs this PublitSi instance. Contact them with questions about your data.

Data processed and purpose

After you explicitly authorise it, PublitSi processes the account ID, display name, username, profile picture and the permissions granted. Access and refresh tokens are used to connect your account and to send scheduled posts. Post texts, media, schedules and publishing status are processed to plan posts.

Local storage

Application data and media are stored on your computer in the local PublitSi data folder. OAuth tokens are stored encrypted; the key is kept in the macOS Keychain, on Windows bound to your user account with the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI), and on Linux in the desktop keyring or in a key file only your user can read. Operating and error logs may contain technical details about requests and publications.

Transfer to services

When you connect an account and when a post is sent, the platform you chose receives the data it needs through its official API. Media can be provided to the platform through signed, time-limited links. The public gateway is reachable through Cloudflare Tunnel; Cloudflare processes connection data for this. For TikTok, the TikTok privacy policy also applies.

Google and YouTube

PublitSi uses YouTube API Services. By connecting a YouTube channel you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service; the Google Privacy Policy also applies. PublitSi uses Google user data only to upload and manage videos on your own channel and to show you their statistics. This data is stored locally, is not sold or shared with third parties and is not used for advertising. It goes to an AI provider only if you use the optional AI features yourself (see below). You can revoke access at any time in your Google account permissions.

AI features

AI features are optional (for example texts, ideas and the Studio, where Claude works in your project's repository). If you use them, PublitSi passes the content they need – such as ideas, post texts, project notes, statistics and, where relevant, media – to the Claude Code or Codex application installed on your computer. It sends that content to Anthropic (Claude Code) or OpenAI (Codex) under your own account, and the terms and privacy policy of that provider apply. Without AI features, no content is sent to these providers.

These public information pages use no advertising or analytics scripts.

Revoking access and removing data

You can disconnect an account in PublitSi under “Accounts” and also revoke access in the settings of the platform. Disconnecting removes the stored tokens; existing post history may remain. You manage local posts and media in your PublitSi instance. The person who runs this local instance controls the local data folder.
