- Display moderation analytics, reports, and keyword trends in your dashboard
- Process payments and manage your subscription via Stripe
- Send transactional emails (verification, password reset, token expiry alerts)
- Maintain and improve the Service
4. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with the following third parties, strictly to provide the Service:
- AI Providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) — Comment text is sent to your selected AI provider for moderation analysis. If you use BYOA, comments are processed under your own API key and provider agreement.
- Social Media Platforms (Meta, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) — To execute moderation actions (e.g., hiding a comment) on your connected accounts
- Stripe — To process subscription payments. Stripe handles all payment data under its own privacy policy.
- Email Provider — To deliver transactional and notification emails
We do not use your comment data to train AI models. Your data is never shared across different customer accounts.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:
- All connections encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
- API keys encrypted at rest using AES-256
- JWT-based authentication with secure token rotation
- Rate limiting on all API endpoints
- Role-based access control for admin operations
- Audit logging of all administrative actions
- Automatic cleanup of expired tokens and sessions
While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
- Account data — Retained for as long as your account is active
- Comment data — Retained for the duration of your subscription. Older comments may be archived for analytics purposes.
- Moderation logs — Retained for audit and reporting purposes during your subscription
