SafePin ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
- Account Information: Email address, name, and profile picture when you create an account
- Payment Information: Billing details processed through our payment provider (Polar). We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Content: Blog URLs you submit for analysis, pin titles, descriptions, and source images you upload or select

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

2.3 Pinterest Account Data
When you connect your Pinterest account, we receive the following data from Pinterest via the official Pinterest API, with your explicit consent:
- Identity: Your Pinterest username and user ID
- Boards: The names and IDs of your boards, so you can select where to publish pins
- Access Tokens: OAuth access and refresh tokens, encrypted and stored so we can publish pins on your behalf at scheduled times
- Published Pin IDs: The IDs of pins we publish for you, so you can see their status inside SafePin
We do not read your home feed, your saved pins, your followers, the boards you follow, or any data outside the scopes required to publish on your behalf (pins:read, pins:write, boards:read, user_accounts:read). You can revoke our access at any time from your Pinterest account settings or from the SafePin settings page.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide and improve the Service
- Process your transactions and manage your account
- Publish pins to Pinterest on your behalf, at the times you schedule
- Send service-related communications
- Analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience
- Detect and prevent fraud, spam, or abuse
- Comply with legal obligations and platform requirements
4. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Service Providers: Third parties that help operate our Service (hosting, payments, analytics, email delivery)
- Pinterest: When you publish pins, the pin content (image, title, description, destination link, board ID) is sent to Pinterest via the official Pinterest API
- Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
Third-Party Services
We rely on the following third-party services to operate SafePin:
- Vercel: Application hosting and global content delivery
- Supabase: Authentication, user database, and image storage
- Polar: Subscription billing and payment processing
- Pinterest: The Pinterest API, for publishing pins on your behalf when you have connected your account
- Firecrawl: Fetches publicly-available content from URLs you submit, so we can extract titles and images for your pins
- Groq: Large-language-model inference used to generate viral title suggestions and descriptions from your content. Submitted text is not used to train models per Groq's terms.
- Resend: Transactional email delivery (beta access confirmations, account notifications)
- cron-job.org: Scheduled triggering of our publish endpoint for queued pins
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:
- Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
- Encrypted storage of Pinterest access tokens and other secrets
- Secure authentication via Supabase (OAuth + email/password with hashed credentials)
- Regular security audits, dependency updates, and infrastructure monitoring
- Access controls limiting who within SafePin can view user data
However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account:
- Your Pinterest access tokens are revoked and deleted immediately
- Your account record, scheduled pins, and source images are deleted within 30 days
- Anonymized usage logs may be retained for up to 12 months for security and analytics
