Privacy policy
Effective November 10, 2026
TKIG.link ("we", "us") helps creators schedule and publish their own videos to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, and handle the comments on them. This policy says what we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it and how you can remove it. Questions go to support@tkig.link.
What we collect
- Your Google sign-in. When you continue with Google we receive your Google account ID, email address, name and profile picture (scopes
openid,email,profile). We use them to create your account and show you who is signed in. - The accounts you connect. For each of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube: the account's ID, handle, display name and picture, and the access tokens the platform gives us. Tokens are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) before we store them, never sent to a browser, and used only to do what you asked.
- Videos and captions you add. The files you upload or link from Google Drive, their captions and the schedule you choose.
- Comments on your posts. On Instagram and YouTube, the text of comments on posts we published for you, the commenter's public name, and the replies we draft or send.
- Billing. If you buy a plan, Stripe takes the payment. We keep your Stripe customer ID, your plan and its status, and never see or store your card number.
- Technical logs. Request times, IDs, counts and errors, to keep the service running. Logs carry no email addresses, tokens, comment text or video names.
What we do on each platform
- TikTok (
user.info.basic,video.publish,video.list): read your basic profile, publish the videos you confirm on our TikTok post screen with the settings you pick there, and read your videos' status. - Instagram (
instagram_business_basic,instagram_business_content_publish,instagram_business_manage_comments): read your professional account's profile, publish your scheduled reels, and read, reply to and hide comments on them as you set. - YouTube (
youtube.force-ssl): read your channel's name, upload your scheduled videos, and read and reply to comments on them as you set.
We never post, reply or delete anything you didn't schedule or allow. Automatic replies stay off until you turn them on for a kind of comment, and criticism or sensitive comments are never answered automatically.
Google user data and YouTube
TKIG.link's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google user data only to provide the features you see in TKIG.link. We don't sell it, use it for advertising or use it to train AI models, and no person at TKIG.link reads it except with your permission, for security, or where the law requires.
TKIG.link uses YouTube API Services. By connecting YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can remove TKIG.link's access to your Google account at any time in Google's security settings.
Chat apps
If you add TKIG.link to Claude or ChatGPT, that app can read whether your accounts are connected and change your posting and reply settings, after you allow it on our sign-in screen. What you type in the chat is handled under that app's own privacy policy; we receive only the settings it asks us to read or change.
Who we share it with
We don't sell your information. We share it only with the services that run TKIG.link for us, and only what each one needs:
- Cloudflare hosts the app and stores its database and your videos.
- OpenRouter, and the AI model it passes the request to (Anthropic's Claude), receive comment text and captions to sort comments and draft replies and captions. They don't receive your tokens, email address or video files.
- Stripe processes payments.
- TikTok, Instagram and YouTube receive the videos, captions and replies you publish through us.
We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect our users or the service from fraud or abuse.
How long we keep it
- A video is deleted 7 days after it has posted to every platform you chose, and at once if you remove it before then.
- Comment text is kept for 30 days.
- A platform's tokens are deleted the moment you disconnect it, and where the platform allows it we also revoke our access there.
- Your account and settings are kept until you delete your account.
Your choices and deleting your data
- Disconnect any platform in TKIG.link at any time, or remove our access in that platform's own settings.
- To delete your account and everything we hold about you, email support@tkig.link from the address you sign in with. We delete it within 30 days and confirm by email.
- You can ask us at the same address for a copy of your data, or to correct it.
Cookies
We use one cookie to keep you signed in (30 days) and one short-lived cookie that protects each sign-in or connection from forgery (10 minutes). We use no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party analytics.
Security
All traffic uses HTTPS. Platform tokens are encrypted at rest, video files are never public, and the links platforms use to fetch your videos are signed and expire within 2 hours.
Children
TKIG.link is not for anyone under 13, and you must be old enough to use each platform you connect. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has signed up, email us and we will delete the account.
Changes
When we change this policy we update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use information you already gave us, we email you before it takes effect.
