This policy covers BeneOS Socials, a self-hosted social media publishing tool operated by Benechrist ("we", "us"). It explains what the tool accesses, why, and how to have it removed.
BeneOS Socials is private, single-operator software. It is not offered to the public and has no public sign-up. The only accounts it connects to are social media accounts owned or administered by its operator, connected deliberately by that operator.
When a social account is connected, the platform issues an access token scoped to the permissions granted at that moment. Using those tokens, the tool may access:
The tool does not collect information about other people's accounts, does not scrape platforms, does not build profiles of individuals, and does not use platform data for advertising or training.
All data is held on infrastructure controlled by the operator. Access tokens and post records are stored in a private database that is not exposed to the public internet. Tokens are transmitted only to the issuing platform, over HTTPS, and only in order to refresh them or to publish and measure posts.
Access tokens are kept only while an account remains connected, and are deleted when the account is disconnected or the access is revoked. Post records and their metrics are kept while they remain useful for scheduling decisions, and are deleted on request.
Access can be withdrawn at any time, and takes effect immediately:
To have stored data deleted, email benechristlive@gmail.com with the account concerned. Requests are actioned within 30 days, and confirmed by reply.
The tool is not directed at children and is not used to process the data of anyone under 13.
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of the page is updated. The current version is always the one published here.
