Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to ScrubMySocial ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe social media experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website, browser extension, and desktop application (collectively, the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

To provide our core functionality, we collect the following types of information:

  • Social Media Content: Our browser extension scans your social media profiles (e.g., X, Instagram) to read posts, replies, and likes. This is done only upon your explicit request.
  • Local Processing Data: The data read by the extension is sent to our desktop application for processing.
  • Usage Data: We may collect information about how you interact with our tools to improve our AI models and user experience.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • AI Analysis: We process your social media content using dictionary-based methods and AI Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify content that might negatively impact VISA or travel applications.
  • Cleanup Tools: To facilitate the safe removal of problematic content from your social profiles.
  • Service Improvement: To enhance the accuracy of our detection algorithms.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your privacy is our priority. Most processing occurs within your local desktop environment.

We do not store your raw social media data on our central servers. The content is transiently processed by our AI models and results are returned to your local application. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any metadata or account information we may store.

5. Third-Party Services

Our Service interacts with third-party platforms including X (Twitter) and Instagram. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of these platforms. Additionally, we may use third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) to assist in content analysis; data shared with these providers is anonymized whenever possible.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you. Since much of our Service operates locally, you can also control data collection by managing your browser extension and desktop application settings.
