Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Halo Social Publisher ("Halo Social Publisher", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and deletes information when you connect a TikTok account to our application and use it to publish or schedule your own video content. This policy describes the data handling of this specific application. It is not a general company policy.
1. What the app is
Halo Social Publisher is a tool that lets an account owner connect their own TikTok account and then schedule and publish their own video content to that account. You remain the owner and author of everything you publish. The app acts only on your instruction, and only on the account you personally connect and authorize.
2. Data we access through TikTok
When you choose to connect your TikTok account, you are redirected to TikTok to review and approve the access you grant. With your authorization, we access the following through TikTok's official OAuth flow and APIs:
- Basic profile information: your TikTok open ID (open_id), your display name or nickname, and your avatar image URL. We use this to confirm which account is connected and to show it back to you before you publish.
- Content posting permission: the ability to upload and publish video content to your TikTok account, or to send a video to your TikTok inbox as a draft, on your behalf and at your request.
- Creator posting settings: the privacy options, interaction settings (comment, Duet, Stitch), and posting limits that TikTok reports for your account, so the app only offers choices your account actually allows.
- OAuth tokens: the access token and refresh token that TikTok issues so the app can carry out the actions you authorize. The refresh token is used only to renew an expired access token so you do not have to reconnect for every action.
We do not request or access your private messages, your followers, your analytics beyond the creator posting settings above, or any data belonging to other TikTok users.
3. How we use your data
We use the data described above solely to operate the features you asked for:
- To display the connected account so you know where you are posting.
- To publish or schedule the video content that you yourself create, configure, and approve before it is sent.
- To read your account's allowed privacy and interaction options so the app presents valid choices.
- To keep your session valid by refreshing an expired access token.
We do not use your TikTok data for advertising, profiling, training machine learning models, resale, or any purpose beyond the publishing features you directly use. We do not post anything without an explicit action from you.
4. Storage and security
Access and refresh tokens are held in encrypted, access-controlled server-side storage and are used only to carry out actions you initiate. Tokens are never exposed to your browser in a readable form and are never sold, rented, or shared with any third party. We restrict internal access to the minimum needed to operate the service, and we transmit all data to and from TikTok over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
5. Data retention and deletion
We retain your tokens and connected-account information only for as long as your account remains connected and the service needs them to function.
- Disconnecting: you can disconnect your TikTok account from the app at any time. Disconnecting deletes the stored access and refresh tokens for that account from our systems.
- Full data deletion: to request deletion of all data we hold that is associated with you, email us at privacy@haloadmit.com. We will process the request and confirm once your data has been deleted.
- Revoking on TikTok: you may also revoke this app's access directly from your TikTok account settings at any time, which immediately invalidates the tokens we hold.
6. Sharing with third parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your TikTok data. We do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. The only external party your data is exchanged with is TikTok itself, through its official APIs, to carry out the actions you request.
7. TikTok compliance
We access TikTok data only through TikTok's official APIs and only with the scopes you approve. We comply with the TikTok Developer Terms of Service and the TikTok Community Guidelines. Our use of information received from TikTok, and any actions taken on your behalf, adhere to TikTok's developer and platform policies. Your use of TikTok remains governed by TikTok's own terms and privacy policy.
8. Children
The app is intended for account owners who are old enough to hold a TikTok account under TikTok's rules and applicable law. It is not directed to children below that age, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves or as TikTok's requirements change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
