Privacy Policy
Introduction
Creatoro ("we", "our", or "us") is an Instagram automation platform operated by Creatoro (India). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information about you when you use our platform at creatoro.io and related services.
By using Creatoro, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our services.
Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information to provide and improve our services:
Account Information: When you register, we collect your name and email address. This is used to create and manage your account, send you transactional communications, and provide support.
Instagram Account Data: When you connect your Instagram Business account, we access data through the Meta Graph API, including your Instagram profile information, posts, comments, DM conversations, follower data, and analytics (followers, reach, impressions, engagement). We access only the data scopes required to deliver the automation features you enable.
Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with our platform, including pages visited, features used, timestamps, IP address, browser type, device type, and session duration. This data is used to improve the product and diagnose issues.
Payment Information: Subscription payments are processed by DodoPayments. We do not store your full payment card details. We receive and retain limited transaction records such as payment confirmation, plan type, and billing date from DodoPayments.
Communication Data: If you contact us for support, we retain records of those communications to assist you and improve our service.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Service Delivery: To authenticate your account, operate the automation features (DM replies, comment responses, post scheduling), power the CRM for your contacts and followers, and display analytics dashboards.
Transactional Communications: To send you account-related emails such as registration confirmations, password resets, billing receipts, and important service notices. These communications are necessary to run your account and cannot be opted out of.
Product Improvement: To analyze aggregated usage patterns, debug errors, and develop new features. We do not use your personal data or Instagram content for training machine learning models.
Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests from authorities, and enforce our Terms of Service.
We do not use your personal data for advertising, and we do not sell or rent your data to any third party.
Data Storage and Security
Your account data and Instagram data are stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on cloud servers. Media files and attachments are stored using Cloudflare R2 object storage. Frequently accessed data such as session tokens and rate-limit counters are cached in Upstash Redis.
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption provided by our cloud infrastructure. Access to production systems is restricted to authorised personnel only, and access is logged and reviewed.
While we implement industry-standard security practices, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use a strong password and to notify us immediately at privacy@creatoro.io if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
Third-Party Services
We integrate with the following third-party services to operate the platform. Each is subject to their own privacy policy:
Meta (Instagram API):We use the Meta Graph API to access your Instagram Business account data. Your use of Instagram is governed by Meta's Data Policy. We access only the permissions you explicitly authorise during the Instagram connection flow.
DodoPayments:Payment processing is handled by DodoPayments. Your payment information is transmitted directly to DodoPayments and is subject to DodoPayments' Privacy Policy. We do not process or store card numbers.
Upstash Redis: We use Upstash as our managed Redis provider for caching session data and rate-limiting. Upstash processes data under a data processing agreement with us.
Cloudflare R2:Media files associated with your account are stored in Cloudflare R2, Cloudflare's object storage service. Data is processed under Cloudflare's privacy and data protection terms.
We do not share your personal data with any other third parties except as required by law or to protect our rights.
