Privacy Policy - Poster X WordPress Plugin

Last Updated: [Current Date]

Overview

This privacy policy describes how the Poster X WordPress Plugin ("Plugin") handles data when connecting to Facebook's Platform. This Plugin operates as distributed software installed on individual WordPress websites.

How Our Plugin Works

Distributed Architecture

  • Our Plugin is installed directly on individual WordPress websites
  • Each installation operates independently
  • We (the Plugin developers) do not operate centralized servers or databases
  • All data processing occurs locally on each user's WordPress installation

No Central Data Collection

Important: We do not collect, store, or have access to any Facebook Platform Data from Plugin installations.

Facebook Platform Data Handling

What Facebook Data the Plugin Accesses

When users connect their Facebook accounts to the Plugin, the following data may be accessed locally on their WordPress site:

  • Page Access Tokens - To post content to user's Facebook pages
  • Page Information - Page ID, page name for posting functionality
  • Post Performance Data - Likes, comments, shares, reach, impressions for analytics
  • Post IDs and URLs - To track posting status and link WordPress posts to Facebook posts

How Data is Stored and Processed

  • All Facebook data is stored locally in the user's WordPress database
  • Data is processed locally on the user's server using the Plugin code
  • No Facebook data is transmitted to us or any external servers we control
  • Users maintain complete control over their Facebook data

Data Usage Purposes

The Plugin uses Facebook data solely to:

  • Post content from WordPress to connected Facebook pages
  • Generate performance analytics for user's Facebook posts
  • Manage posting schedules and queues
  • Display posting status within WordPress admin

User Rights and Control

Complete User Control

  • Users control all Facebook data stored in their WordPress installation
  • Users can disconnect Facebook accounts at any time
  • Users can delete all stored Facebook data by deactivating the Plugin
  • Users determine posting frequency, content, and scheduling

Our Access Limitations

  • We cannot access users' Facebook data stored in their WordPress installations
  • We cannot retrieve, modify, or delete data from user installations
  • We have no administrative access to user WordPress sites
  • We cannot view or analyze user posting patterns or content

Data Sharing and Third Parties

No Third-Party Sharing

  • We do not share Facebook Platform Data with third parties (because we don't have access to it)
  • Each user's data remains isolated within their own WordPress installation
  • No data analytics or aggregation across multiple installations

Direct User-Facebook Relationship

  • Users maintain a direct relationship with Facebook through our Plugin
  • All Facebook API calls are made directly from the user's server to Facebook
  • We act as a technical facilitator, not a data intermediary

Government and Legal Requests

Our Position on Data Requests

  • We cannot comply with government requests for user Facebook data because we do not possess such data
  • Each WordPress site owner is responsible for handling legal requests related to data stored in their installation
  • We maintain documentation of our technical architecture to demonstrate our inability to access user data

  • General information about the Plugin's functionality

Data Security Measures

Plugin Security

User Responsibility

Data Retention

Our Retention Policy

  • We retain no Facebook Platform Data (because we don't collect it)

International Data Transfers

No Cross-Border Data Movement by Us

  • Any international data transfers are between users and Facebook directly
  • Users should refer to Facebook's privacy policy for their data transfer practices
