Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

1. Introduction

AuTime ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

2. Information We Collect

We collect:

  • Account information: email address and username when you register
  • Content data: videos, captions, and scheduling preferences you upload
  • TikTok account data: display name, avatar, and user ID via OAuth 2.0 (never your password)
  • TikTok performance data: video views, likes, comments, shares, and engagement metrics for videos published through AuTime, retrieved via TikTok's official API
  • Usage data: pages visited, features used, and interaction timestamps
  • Payment data: subscription status and plan tier. We do not store credit card numbers — payments are handled entirely by LemonSqueezy

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • Schedule and publish content to TikTok on your behalf
  • Improve AI-generated captions, hashtags, and content suggestions using your own TikTok performance data — your data is used exclusively to improve results for your account, never shared with other users
  • Send service-related communications (scheduling confirmations, error notifications)
  • Process subscription payments and manage your billing status
  • Ensure compliance with our Terms of Service and applicable laws

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only:

  • With TikTok: to publish content on your behalf via the official API, as authorized by you
  • With LemonSqueezy (Lemon Squeezy LLC): our payment processor and Merchant of Record, which handles all subscription billing and payments. LemonSqueezy's privacy policy applies to payment data: lemonsqueezy.com/privacy
  • With trusted infrastructure providers (e.g., Vercel for hosting), under confidentiality agreements
  • When required by law or to protect the safety of AuTime, our users, or the public

5. AI Content Improvement

AuTime uses your TikTok performance data (views, likes, comments, shares, and engagement rates) to improve AI-generated outputs such as captions, hashtags, and creative suggestions. This system works as follows:

  • Performance patterns are stored per-account and used only to personalize suggestions for that specific account
  • Your performance data is never shared with other AuTime users or used to train shared models
  • You can disable this feature or request deletion of your performance data at any time by contacting hello@autime.xyz
  • Performance data is retrieved exclusively through TikTok's official API and is subject to TikTok's own terms of use

6. Data Security

  • All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS
  • TikTok OAuth tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage
  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt (cost 12)
  • No method of storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security

7. Data Retention

  • Account data: retained for the duration of your account; deleted within 30 days of deletion request
  • OAuth tokens: stored securely and revoked upon account disconnection or deletion
  • TikTok performance data: retained as long as your account is active; deleted within 30 days of account deletion

8. Your Rights (GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at:

9. Cookies

We use essential session cookies to maintain your login. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.
