Your data & security
Your accounts and your information, looked after properly
PostMarshal connects to your social accounts through each platform’s official, approved process — never your passwords — and you can disconnect at any time. The keys that let it post for you are encrypted and only ever shown to you as a status, never as text. We collect the minimum we need, we don’t sell your data, and you can export or delete it whenever you want. Respecting your data is a founding principle here — it’s what we’d want for our own business.
How connections work
When you connect a social account, you go through that platform’s own permission screen and choose to let PostMarshal post on your behalf. We never see or store your social passwords. That permission is yours to withdraw at any moment — from inside PostMarshal, or from the platform’s own settings — and posting stops immediately when you do.
The access keys that make posting possible are treated as live credentials: encrypted where they’re stored, and never displayed back as text to you, to us, or to anyone else. In your account you see whether a connection is healthy or needs reconnecting — the useful part — without the secret ever being exposed.
What we collect, and what we don’t
- We collect the minimum needed to plan and publish your posts — your brand facts, your connected accounts, and what you’ve scheduled.
- We don’t sell your data, and we don’t hand it to third parties for their own marketing.
- Your business’s data is kept in its own separate scope — never mixed with another customer’s.
- You stay in control: export your brand information any time, and delete your data when you choose.
Honesty about where we are
PostMarshal is in active build, and we’d rather be straight with you than dress things up. We build to UK data-protection law and to security-by-design principles from the start — but we’re an early-stage product, not a decade-old enterprise, and we won’t claim certifications we don’t yet hold. As the product matures, this page will say plainly what we’ve added. If you ever have a question about your data, a real person will answer it.
The detail lives in our privacy policy and our data-deletion page. You can also read how we keep your posts truthful on how the honesty gate works.
