Does PostSnag sell my data?

No. PostSnag does not sell your data. It works with a small, named set of service providers to run the product itself, payments, hosting, email delivery, and the like, not to resell or share your information with advertisers or data brokers.

Here's exactly who PostSnag works with, what each one does, and where the one real exception (public post data, not your account) fits in.

Who PostSnag works with to run the service

Each of these providers handles one specific part of running PostSnag:

• Lemon Squeezy: payments and billing, and PostSnag's merchant of record. Processes your subscription and handles your card details directly; PostSnag never sees your full card number.
• Google: sign-in, only if you choose Continue with Google. PostSnag never sees or stores your Google password.
• Resend: sends transactional email, like receipts and account notices.
• Cloudflare: content delivery, serving assets like images quickly and reliably.
• Contabo: hosts PostSnag's servers.
• MongoDB: the database where your account and captured data are stored.
• New Relic: performance and error monitoring, helping catch problems before they affect you.

Each provider only receives what it needs to do its specific job. This is the complete list of outside providers PostSnag works with, not a partial sample, and none of them are in the business of buying your data from PostSnag, because PostSnag isn't selling it.

What "not selling data" actually means

Selling data usually means handing it to an advertiser, data broker, or unrelated third party in exchange for money, so it can be used for something unrelated to running PostSnag, like ad targeting elsewhere. PostSnag doesn't do that. The providers above each handle one specific operational job, processing a payment, sending an email, hosting a database, and PostSnag pays them for that service. None of them pay PostSnag for access to your data, and none of them use it for their own separate purposes.

What's never shared

Your account details, email, password, plan status, and your private Bookmarks and Folders are not shared with anyone outside the providers above, and never sold to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties. That applies whether you're on the Free plan or a paid one; plan status doesn't change what's shared.

What about the public Facebook posts I capture?

The public post data you capture is different from your account data. PostSnag stores what you capture, captions, media, and engagement numbers, so it appears in your own dashboard: your Profiles library, Posts view, Overview, and Discovery. Because it's the same public content anyone viewing that profile could already see on Facebook, not something private to you, PostSnag can also store and reuse that public post data elsewhere within the product. That reuse stays inside PostSnag, for running features like Discovery; it is not the same as selling your data to an advertiser or data broker, and it never includes your account details, Bookmarks, or Folders. See Does Discovery share my captured data with other PostSnag users? for how that plays out for Discovery specifically.

How to verify this yourself

The provider list above is drawn from PostSnag's own Privacy Policy, so if you'd rather check the primary source than take this article's word for it, that's where to look. If you have a specific question about a provider or how a particular piece of data is handled, email support@postsnag.com and ask directly.

Common questions

Does PostSnag share my information with advertisers?

No. Your account data isn't shared with advertisers or sold to third parties.

Who has access to my PostSnag account data?

Only PostSnag and the specific service providers needed to run the product, such as its payment processor and hosting provider, each limited to what their job requires.

Are my Bookmarks and Folders private?

Yes. Your saved posts, profiles, and Folders are private to your account and are not shared or sold.

Is the public Facebook data I capture treated the same as my account data?

Not exactly. Your account data, your email, password, plan status, Bookmarks, and Folders, is never shared. Public post data is different: because it's public content, PostSnag can store and reuse it elsewhere within the product, though never by selling it to an advertiser or data broker. See Does Discovery share my captured data with other PostSnag users? for the fuller picture.

Does PostSnag make money from my data instead of selling it outright?

No. PostSnag's business is Pro and Lifetime subscriptions. It doesn't have a data-monetization model running alongside that.
