Privacy Policy for Autobot Last Updated: 30.Oct.2025
-
Introduction This privacy policy explains how the "Autobot" application (hereinafter referred to as "the App," "this App," "my App," or "I/me/my") handles your information. This App is a personal development project created for individual use and is not published or distributed to the public.
-
Information I Collect This App is designed to interact with the Instagram/Meta API. The types of information it may access and use include:
Instagram Account Data: The App requires access to your Instagram account to publish Reels. This may involve accessing basic profile information (like your username and account ID) that is necessary for the API to function.
Video Files: The App processes the video files ("Reels") that you explicitly choose to upload through it. These files are temporarily stored in memory during the upload process and are not persistently stored on any external server controlled by me.
App Credentials: The App uses the official Meta Developer credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, Access Tokens) that you generate and configure for your own account. These are stored locally on your machine and are never transmitted to me or any third party besides the official Meta API.
- How I Use Your Information The information accessed by this App is used for one sole purpose:
To programmatically upload video Reels to the Instagram account that you have authorized.
No data is used for advertising, analytics, marketing, or sold to third parties. The App does not perform any processing of your data beyond what is strictly necessary to complete the upload task you initiate.
- Data Storage and Security Local Storage: All operations for this App occur on your local machine. Your Instagram credentials, access tokens, and video files are processed from your computer and are not stored on any external server I control.
Meta/Instagram's Handling: Once a Reel is uploaded, its storage and handling are governed by Meta's Privacy Policy. I encourage you to review Meta's policy to understand how they manage data on their platform: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

Data Sharing This App does not share any of your personal information or content with any third parties, except for the necessary data transmission to the official Meta/Instagram API to perform the requested upload.
-
Your Rights As the sole user of this personal tool, you have direct control over your data. You can:
Revoke the App's access to your Instagram account at any time through your Instagram/Meta settings.
Stop using the App at any time.
Delete the local files and configuration associated with the App from your computer.

Changes to This Privacy Policy I may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. As this is a personal project, notification of changes may not be formalized.
