This Privacy Policy explains how Postou.ai collects, uses, shares and protects the personal data of its users and visitors, in accordance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Lei nº 13.709/2018 — LGPD). Cookie usage is detailed in our Cookie Policy.
1. Data Controller
The controller of the personal data processed by Postou.ai is PXM CAPITAL LTDA, registered under Brazilian tax ID (CNPJ) No. 63.094.647/0001-40, with its registered office at Avenida Rosa dos Ventos, 731, Vespasiano, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, ZIP code 33200-480.
The communication channel with our Data Protection Officer and for data subject requests is contato@postou.ai.
2. Information We Collect
- Account data: name, email address, profile picture, phone number and password (stored only as a hash).
- Business data: business name, category, description, brand colors, visual style and logo.
- Generated content: AI-generated images, captions and text.
- Instagram data: username, Instagram Business account ID and access token — collected only when you connect your account.
- Payment data: customer and subscription identifiers and payment method, processed by Stripe. We never store your credit card number.
- Usage and device data: IP address, browser user-agent, navigation pages and events, access dates and times.
- Communications: messages exchanged with the platform over WhatsApp and email.
- Audio recordings: voice notes you send over WhatsApp, transcribed to interpret your command (transcription is performed by an AI provider — see section 6).

3. Instagram Data (Graph API)
When you connect an Instagram Business or Creator account to Postou.ai:
- We request only the
instagram_business_basic and instagram_business_content_publish permissions. - We store your Instagram username, account ID and long-lived access token in an access-controlled database that is encrypted at rest.
- We use the access token only to: (1) verify your account identity (
GET /me); (2) create a media container when you publish a post you created and approved; and (3) publish that media container as a feed post or story after your explicit action. - We never publish without your explicit action. We never fetch followers, insights, messages, comments, stories or any other data beyond what is strictly required to verify your identity and publish content on your behalf.
- You can disconnect your Instagram account at any time in Settings → Instagram. Disconnecting deletes the access token from our database immediately.
4. Purposes and Legal Bases
- Provide the service (generate content, schedule, publish, support): performance of a contract.

- Send service communications: performance of a contract.
- Send communications about your purchase and checkout recovery (payment reminders and completing a checkout you started), over WhatsApp and email: performance of a contract and legitimate interest. You may opt out of these messages at any time.

We apply technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, a database encrypted at rest, access control and per-user data segregation (Row Level Security), passwords stored only as a hash, and a security audit trail for incident detection and investigation. No system is fully immune to incidents; if a security incident occurs that may pose a relevant risk, we will notify the Brazilian Data Protection Authority (ANPD) and the affected users as required by law.
