Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how DIY Schools ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use DIY SMM, our AI-powered social media automation service available at smm.diyschools.com (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

When you register, we collect your name, business name, email address, mobile number, and industry. When you connect social media accounts, we receive limited profile and posting permissions via each platform's official OAuth flow. We also collect usage data such as scheduled posts, analytics, and account settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to create and manage your account, generate and publish content to your connected social accounts, provide analytics, send service-related emails (such as verification and billing notices), and improve the Service.

3. Social Media Account Access

We request only the permissions required to publish and schedule posts on your behalf (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X). We never request or store your social media passwords. You can revoke access at any time from your connected platform's settings or from your DIY SMM dashboard.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the Service (such as hosting, email delivery, and payment processing), and with social media platforms strictly to publish content you have scheduled.

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard safeguards, including encrypted connections and access controls, to protect your information. Access tokens for connected social accounts are stored securely and used only for the purposes described in this policy.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal or accounting purposes.

7. Your Rights

You may access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us. You may also disconnect any social media account or close your DIY SMM account from your dashboard settings.

8. Cookies

We use a minimal set of essential cookies required to keep you signed in and remember your preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for business owners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under the age of 18.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
