Privacy Policy

Prizston is an AI-powered market discovery and audience growth platform designed to help entrepreneurs, creators, and businesses discover market opportunities, research recurring customer problems, create content, publish content to connected social media accounts, analyze audience response, and make data-informed decisions.

This Privacy Policy applies to prizston.com, the Prizston dashboard, our AI-powered research and content tools, social media publishing features, analytics features, and related services, collectively referred to as the "Service".

For privacy-related questions, you can contact us at [email protected].

You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information to AI features unless it is necessary and appropriate for your use of the Service.

Prizston may allow you to connect third-party social media accounts in order to publish content, schedule content, retrieve permitted analytics, or provide other functionality that you authorize.

Prizston may use this information to help determine which content, audience, niche, market problem, or opportunity generates stronger audience response.

We use these tokens only for functionality authorized by you and permitted by the relevant third-party service.

Where supported, you may disconnect a connected account through Prizston. You may also be able to revoke Prizston's access directly through the security or connected-app settings of the relevant third-party service.

Some Prizston functionality depends on third-party AI providers.

Information submitted for AI-powered features may be transmitted to those providers for processing in order to provide the requested functionality.

The provider used may differ depending on the feature, model, availability, cost, or technical requirements.

If you connect Prizston to services such as LinkedIn, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, or other third-party platforms, your use of those services remains subject to their respective privacy policies and terms.

Prizston is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of those third-party services.

If Prizston integrates with Google or YouTube APIs, access to Google user data will be limited to the permissions that you authorize.

Prizston will use information obtained through Google APIs only to provide supported user-facing functionality associated with the integration and in accordance with applicable Google API policies.

Users may revoke Prizston's access through their Google account's third-party connection settings.

If you connect a LinkedIn account, Prizston may receive information permitted by LinkedIn's APIs and the authorization permissions that you approve.

This may include account identifiers, profile information, organization information, publishing permissions, content published through Prizston, and permitted performance data.

Prizston does not receive your LinkedIn password.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

Depending on the system and type of information, these measures may include:

• Encrypted HTTPS connections
• Secure authentication
• Hashed passwords
• Access controls
• Session protections
• Restricted database access
• Environment-based secret management
• OAuth instead of collecting social media passwords
• Protection of authorization tokens
• Server and application logging
• Rate limiting
• Security monitoring

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing the Service, maintaining security, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

When information is no longer required, we may delete or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

You may request deletion of your Prizston account and associated personal information by contacting us at [email protected].

Deleting your Prizston account does not automatically delete content that has already been published to a third-party social network.

Certain information may be retained where reasonably necessary or legally required for security, fraud prevention, accounting, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement purposes.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of personal information
• Request restriction of certain processing
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
• Request data portability where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with an applicable data protection authority

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

Your personal information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence.

Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

Prizston is intended for business and professional use and is not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where doing so would violate applicable law.

You retain your rights in content that you create or submit through Prizston.

Prizston may process that content only as reasonably necessary to provide requested functionality, such as generating an AI result, saving a draft, adapting content for another platform, generating media, scheduling a post, publishing content, or analyzing performance.

If Prizston or its business is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, investigate fraud or security incidents, protect the rights and safety of Prizston or others, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We may update this Privacy Policy as Prizston develops or when legal, technical, or business requirements change.

When material changes are made, we will update the "Last updated" date and provide additional notice where appropriate.

The current Privacy Policy will be available at prizston.com/privacy.
