Privacy Policy

How We Handle Your Data

Six core principles that govern every decision we make about your data.

Authorized Access Only

Plugio only accesses data you explicitly authorize through official OAuth flows. We never access anything beyond what you grant.

Secure Data Storage

All tokens and user data are encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard TLS 1.3 and AES-256 encryption.

Revoke Access Anytime

You can disconnect any integration at any time from your Plugio dashboard or directly from your Google or Meta account settings.

We Never Sell Your Data

Plugio does not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Minimal Data Collection

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service — your profile info, connected account tokens, and content you choose to publish.

Purpose-Limited Use

OAuth access is used exclusively for publishing, scheduling, and analytics. We never use your data for unrelated purposes.

Google & YouTube

YouTube & Google Permissions

We request only the permissions needed to publish, manage, and analyze your YouTube content.
