Privacy Policy
1. Scope
This policy covers two things: this website (socheli.com) and the Socheli software, the open-source social media manager you run on your own devices. They have very different privacy profiles, described separately below.
2. Data this website collects
None. This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads no trackers. You can verify this in your browser's network tab. The web server keeps standard, short-lived access logs (IP address and requested URL) for security and capacity purposes only; these are not used for profiling and are not shared.
3. Data the software handles
When you run Socheli on your own hardware, it stores everything it works with as flat JSON files and media on your devices:
- OAuth tokens you grant for your own social accounts (for example, an Instagram access token), stored in local data files on your machine.
- Generated media: scripts, storyboards, and rendered videos, written to your disk.
- Run and mission records: pipeline logs, schedules, and engagement metrics, kept as flat JSON on your device.
If you use a Socheli-hosted workspace (the optional cloud dashboard), the data you connect (account connections, schedules, and generated content metadata) is stored for your workspace and is deletable on request (see Data Deletion).
4. Data we never hold
Self-hosting is the default, and it means there is no Socheli cloud storing your content. We never hold your tokens, your media, your account credentials, or your audience data. The architecture is the policy.
5. Third-party platforms
When Socheli publishes to or reads from a platform (Meta/Instagram, Google/YouTube, TikTok), it does so through that platform's standard OAuth and official APIs, under your authorization, subject to that platform's own privacy policy. Socheli requests only the permissions needed for the features you enable, and you can revoke them at any time in the platform's settings.
Use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Use of Meta Platform data adheres to the Meta Platform Terms.
6. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published at this URL with an updated effective date. The document history is in the public repository.
