Bellringer Social LLC (“Bellringer Social,” “we,” “us”) operates the PostCI social media management platform, accessible at bellringer.social. We are a Massachusetts limited liability company. You can reach us at help@bellringer.social.
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address, a hashed (non-reversible) password, and an organization name. We use this to authenticate you and associate your content with your account.
Content you create
We store the social media posts, themes, hooks, and other content you draft inside the platform. This content belongs to you. We use it only to provide the service.
Social media connection tokens
When you connect a Facebook Page or Instagram Business account, we receive and store an access token issued by Meta. This token is encrypted at rest using industry-standard Fernet symmetric encryption before being written to our database. We use it solely to publish posts to your connected accounts on your behalf.
When you connect a Blue Sky account, we store your Blue Sky handle and app password in encrypted form. We use it solely to publish posts on your behalf.
When you connect a TikTok account, we receive and store an access token and refresh token issued by TikTok. These tokens are encrypted at rest using the same Fernet symmetric encryption as our other connected accounts. We use them solely to publish content to your connected TikTok account on your behalf, at your explicit direction.
When you connect a LinkedIn account, we receive and store an access token issued by LinkedIn. This token is encrypted at rest using the same Fernet symmetric encryption as our other connected accounts. We use it solely to publish content to your connected LinkedIn account on your behalf, at your explicit direction.
Usage data
We log AI model usage (which model was called, approximate token count) for internal monitoring. We do not sell or share this data.
In providing the platform, we send data to the following third parties:
| Service | Purpose | Data sent |
|---|---|---|
| Meta (Facebook / Instagram) | Publishing posts to connected Pages and accounts | Post content, images, your Page access token |
| OpenAI | AI-assisted post drafting | Post content, prompts you provide |
| Anthropic | AI-assisted post drafting | Post content, prompts you provide |
| Pexels | Stock image search | Search keywords |
| Pixabay | Stock image search | Search keywords |
| Render.com | Application and database hosting | All application data (hosted infrastructure) |
| Optional image storage via Google Drive; choosing photos from Google Photos | OAuth token, image files you choose to save, photos you select in Google Photos | |
| TikTok | Publishing video content to your connected TikTok account | Video content, post caption, your access/refresh tokens |
| Publishing posts to your connected LinkedIn profile | Post content, your access token |
We do not sell your data to any third party.
If you connect Google, Bellringer Social requests access to Google Drive files that Bellringer creates or that you choose (to store images and videos for your posts), and to the specific photos you select in the Google Photos Picker. Bellringer cannot see the rest of your Google Photos library or your other Drive files.
When you pick a photo from Google Photos, Bellringer copies that photo into a folder in your own Google Drive and attaches it to the post you are preparing. It is published only to the social media platforms you choose. We do not sell Google user data, do not use it for advertising, do not use it to train artificial intelligence models, and do not share it with anyone except as needed to publish your posts where you direct.
You can disconnect Google at any time from your Google Account's security settings (Third-party apps with account access); you can also ask us to delete your data as described in section 10.
Bellringer Social's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Render.com in the United States. Access tokens for connected social media accounts are encrypted before storage using Fernet encryption. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt and are never stored in recoverable form. All connections to the platform use HTTPS/TLS.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account or request deletion, we will delete your account data including all stored posts, settings, and encrypted tokens within 30 days.
You may request a copy of your data, correction of inaccurate data, or deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing help@bellringer.social. We will respond within 30 days.
This platform is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify active users by email of material changes. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version.
