1- Who is Post Magic?
C Code Ltd T/A Post Magic (“Post Magic”) is a company headquartered in London, UK. Post Magic offers a software application (the “Service”) that helps businesses and agencies (individually and collectively “ Customer(s)”) manage their Social Profiles.
By its nature, the Service enables our customers to bring together their Social Profiles all in one place. The Service helps our Customers manage incoming messages sent to their Social Profiles, comments posted on content published on their Social Profiles, scheduling and publishing content on their Social Profiles and analyze the results. It also helps them monitor conversations happening publicly on Supported Platforms as long as they contain certain keywords of their choice.
Post Magic complies with the applicable privacy laws.
2- What information do we collect and/or process?
We collect and/or process different types of information including but not limited to personal data (“Customer Data”):
We collect and process information/data from our Customers and/or Customer-Users (“Customer Personal Data”) for our own purposes, such as to provide and administer the Service.
We also process other data on behalf of our Customers (such as content generated, requested or published via the Supported Platforms by our Customers) in accordance with the instructions our Customers give us through the Service (including, for example, the information and End User Messages our Customers monitor or collect from Supported Platforms through the Service) (“Customer Content”). Our Customers control how their Customer Content is collected and used by them.
Accordingly, we only use Customer Content to provide the Services to our Customer in accordance with the instructions they give us through the Services.
We never collect/process sensitive data as this is not technically allowed through the use of the Service.

When you first register for a Post Magic Account, and when you use the Service, we collect some data about you as a Customer / Customer User such as:
your full name,

The content you’ve published on the Social Profiles you’ve connected to the Service

For example, each time you visit the Site or otherwise use the Service, we automatically collect your IP address, browser and device type, access times, the web page from which you came, the regions from which you navigate the web page, and the web page(s) you access (as applicable).
How we use it

2.2- Customer Content
When our Customers connect a Social Profile to the Service they can choose to instantly collect, process, share and access such Social Profile via the Service (subject to the terms of service and privacy policies with the Supported Platforms).
In this way, our Customers Users can obtain, use and analyze data from Supported Platforms of their choosing, and also create a post, transmit, view, display or share data or information through the Service.
Type of data concerned:
Customer-generated content (such as messages (including direct or private messages), posts, comments, profiles pictures, images, feeds or communications exchanged on the Supported Platforms)
End Users Messages and/or name
End Users Social Profile URLs of the on Supported Platforms
Supported Platforms user IDs
How we use it
Post-Magic uses Customer Content for the following purposes:
To identify the author of an End User Message
To aggregate all End User Messages from the same person and provide a history of all past conversation between an End User and a Customer
Third-Party Apps and Social Networks
The Service enables an ecosystem where you can choose to connect with Supported Platforms. If you choose to send your content to a Supported Platform, Post Magic is no longer responsible for that content from the point in time that it leaves the Service. Instead, the content will be in the control of the relevant Supported Platforms’ terms and privacy policies. For example, if you use the Service to post a message on Facebook, Facebook’s privacy policy and terms of service will apply to that message on Facebook’s server.
While we attempt to facilitate access only to those Supported Platforms that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of any Supported Platform. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Supported Platform you access via the Services. For reference, the privacy policies of our current supported platforms are as follows:
https://twitter.com/privacy
https://www.facebook.com/policy.php
https://help.instagram.com/402411646841720
2.3- Revoking access to the Supported Platforms
As the Service relies entirely on its connections to Supported Platforms and their APIs (such as the Facebook API, the Instagram API, the Twitter API etc.), if you wish to ensure that the Service doesn’t access data from the Social Profiles you have previously connected to the Service, this is how you should proceed

Like many websites, we collect certain information through the use of “cookies,” which are small text files that are saved by your browser when you access our Site. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to identify that you’ve logged in to the Site and to tell us how and when you interact with our Site.

3.1- Session Cookies
The Service uses “session cookies”, which improve your user experience by storing certain information from your current visit on your device, such as login information. These enable us to remember your login session so you can move easily within the Site or the Service. Without these session cookies, we wouldn’t be able to provide the Service to you. These session cookies have limited functionalities and expirations, and you will be required to re-enter your Post Magic login information after a certain period of time has elapsed to protect you against others accidentally accessing your account contents and related personal information. Other examples of our use of session cookies include to track the number of visits by a particular visitor to a page or a feature of the Service.
3.2- Performance and Remarketing Cookies
Partners who help us serve advertising on and off the Site and analytics companies may also put cookies on your device. We use several third-party vendors to help deliver ads for relevant Post Magic products and services to you when you visit certain pages on our Site.

Further information can be found at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
Post Magic may also use related technologies including web beacons, pixels, and software tokens in order to facilitate your use of the Service. Most notably, the Service uses software tokens (stored securely on Post Magic-controlled servers) in order to facilitate the logging in to and the functioning of both the Supported Platforms.
4- How is your information secured?
The security of your personal information is important to us.
Post Magic has implemented various measures to ensure that the information is adequately protected against unauthorized access, use, disclosure and destruction. Please keep in mind that risk can never be eliminated but can be significantly mitigated and reduced. You should bear in mind that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure.
All measures which Post Magic has taken significantly reduce the risk. Post Magic shall not be held liable by any third party, including you, in any event of unauthorized access, use and/or disclosure of information provided that such is not due to Gross Negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith by Post Magic.
Security measures adopted by Post Magic include:
Access to the information stored within Post Magic’s servers is restricted to a limited number of Post Magic employees;
We use industry best practices to keep any information collected and/or transmitted to the Supported Platforms secure. The Site and the Service are all secured by SSL protocol, which provides encryption to all data transmitted;
Post Magic’s servers are protected by a) firewalls establishing a barrier between our trusted, secure internal network and the Internet and b) IP restrictions, limiting access to whitelisted IPs;
Each Customer may only access information pertaining to its Social Profile that it is tracking and to the specific End Users interacting with such Social Profile. For Twitter and Instagram, each Customer may also access public content posted by End Users and containing specific keywords;
Post Magic uses third-party vendors and hosting partners (such as Google Cloud) to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology to run the Services. These vendors all offer best-in-class security, you can see Google Cloud’s security features here: https://cloud.google.com/security/;
When payments are processed via credit card, Post Magic uses third-party vendors that are PCI_DSS compliant;
Post Magic reviews its information collection and processing practices periodically and will review and amend this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Post Magic uses third party vendors to prevent attacks on the Site or the Service and destruction or theft of its data. Such vendors also monitor potential attacks to allow Post Magic to inform its Customers in the event their Customer Content and/or Post Magic Data has been compromised;
Post Magic takes reasonable security measures to protect your personal information to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are 100% bulletproof.
5- Children
Because the nature of our Service does not appeal to children under the age of 13, Post Magic does not knowingly acquire or receive PII from children under 13. If we later learn that any user of our Service is under the age of 13, we will take appropriate steps to remove that user’s information from our account database and will restrict that individual from future access to the Service.
6- Your rights: Access, change, deletion, disclosure
You have the right to object to the processing and collection of your personal data, and to withdraw your consent at any time, except where otherwise determined by applicable law.
Whenever you withdraw consent, you acknowledge and accept that this will immediately terminate your use of the Service.
Accordingly, you can request modification or deletion of your information at any time by sending an email to info@PostMagic.co.uk, with your first and last name and the URL of all the Social Profiles you have connected to the Service. Such a request will have to be sent from the email address used to create your account on the Service.
Please note that certain personal information may need to be retained by Post Magic for a period of time following cancellation of your account where this is necessary for our legitimate business purposes or required or authorized by applicable law.
You should be aware that Post Magic acts as a conduit between our Customers and the various Supported Platforms we support. In several instances, the content published via Post Magic will not be in Post Magic’s custody or control, and any content that has been shared by you through any Supported Platform via the Services may continue to be available to third parties and the public at large, as this content is now under the control of the operators of the Supported Platforms.
Post Magic does not rent or sell your Customer Personal Data or Customer Content, but we may disclose such data to a limited set of trusted third parties in the situations explained below, for which you, by using our Service, hereby explicitly consent. We will disclose your personal information where we are bound to do so, at law or via a court order as well as to meet any legal or regulatory requirement or obligations. We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that those requirements or obligations are in accordance with applicable law;
We reserve the right to disclose your information to any third party if we have reasonable information to believe that the disclosure is necessary for the purpose of an investigation and/or for the enforcement of any breaches of the Terms of Service (if applicable), to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security, technical issues or other irregularities or illegalities, protect the rights and interests as well as the property of Post Magic;
We reserve the right to disclose your information to parent companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with Post Magic;
We reserve the right to disclose your information if we are acquired by or merged with another entity (in which case we will require such entity to assume our obligations under this Privacy Policy or inform you that you are covered by a new privacy policy);
