Reels Machine ("the App") is a content management and publishing application for short-form video creators. This policy describes what data the App accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored.
Reels Machine does not collect personal data from third-party users. There are no analytics tracking, no cookies, and no data collection forms.
The Service uses TikTok's Content Posting API to publish videos. The following TikTok data is accessed:
| Data | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth access token | Authenticate API requests | Local .env file on owner's machine |
| OAuth refresh token | Renew expired access tokens | Local .env file on owner's machine |
| Open ID | Identify the authorized account | Local .env file on owner's machine |
| Publish status | Confirm video was posted successfully | Local JSON file on owner's machine |
No TikTok user data beyond the authenticated user's own account is accessed, stored, or processed. Reels Machine does not access followers, comments, analytics, or any other user data.
Videos are temporarily uploaded to a private AWS S3 bucket to provide a public URL for TikTok's content ingestion. Videos are original content created by the user and are not shared with any parties beyond the intended publishing platforms.
Reels Machine integrates with:
Each integration is used for the content publishing workflow. No personal data from third parties flows through these integrations.
All credentials, tokens, and content are stored locally on the user's machine. No data is stored on public or shared servers. API keys and tokens are kept in environment variable files that are not committed to version control.
Reels Machine does not sell, share, or transfer any data to third parties. Content is published only to the platforms explicitly chosen by the user (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook).
OAuth tokens are retained until manually revoked or expired. Published content metadata (post IDs, timestamps) is stored locally for reference. Users may delete any stored data at any time.
Reels Machine does not collect any data from children or any third-party users of any age.
This policy may be updated at any time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision.
