How UGC Pilot handles user data

This policy explains what information we process when users create Instagram content, upload media, generate carousel posts, and schedule approved content through UGC Pilot.

Effective July 27, 2026

Who we are

UGC Pilot is an Instagram content creation and scheduling tool operated through getugcpilot.com. Users can provide business context, automatically prepare multi-slide carousel posts, upload images and videos, review captions and creative assets, connect an Instagram professional account, and schedule approved content.

Privacy questions can be sent to privacy@getugcpilot.com. General support questions can be sent to support@getugcpilot.com.

Information we collect

  • Account information, such as name, email address, authentication details, workspace information, and account identifiers.
  • Business profile information, such as a business name, website, audience, offer, brand voice, goals, and other context users provide to personalize content creation.
  • Connected Instagram professional account information, such as an Instagram account ID, username, profile information returned during authorization, granted permissions, access tokens, and token-expiration information.
  • Content information, such as uploaded videos, product demos, screen recordings, images, carousel slides, captions, titles, thumbnails, scheduled post times, publishing settings, post status, and publishing logs.
  • Instagram media and insights information, such as media identifiers, media type, publishing time, reach, views, interactions, saves, shares, likes, comments, and other metrics Instagram makes available for the connected account.
  • AI-assisted content information, such as user instructions, uploaded media used for generation or editing, generated outputs, selected assets, and whether particular content requires an AI-generated content disclosure.
  • Rights and disclosure confirmations, such as commercial content disclosures, sponsored content settings, music or license confirmations, and user confirmations that they have permission to use the content they publish.
  • Technical information, such as IP address, device and browser information, cookies, analytics events, logs, and error reports.

How we use information

  • Create and secure user accounts.
  • Analyze business profile information to prepare personalized content ideas and automatic multi-slide carousel drafts.
  • Store drafts, uploaded images and videos, generated carousel slides, edited content, and scheduled posts.
  • Connect an Instagram professional account at the user's request.
  • Schedule, publish, and track Instagram post status only after the user approves the content and destination account.
  • Show the connected Instagram account, publishing settings, post history, analytics, and content-performance information.
  • Troubleshoot failed uploads, rendering jobs, publishing jobs, or account connections.
  • Detect abuse, protect the service, and comply with legal and Instagram requirements.

Connected Instagram accounts

UGC Pilot currently supports Instagram professional accounts for connected-account, scheduling, publishing, and analytics features. We use Instagram account data only to provide the features the user requests.

We do not sell Instagram account data. We do not publish content to Instagram without the user reviewing and approving the content, destination account, and schedule.

Users can disconnect Instagram from UGC Pilot Settings or revoke UGC Pilot's access through their Instagram or Meta account settings.

Access tokens and account permissions

We may store Instagram access tokens securely so users can keep an account connected, schedule approved content, publish at the selected time, and display authorized insights. Users can disconnect Instagram at any time. When a user disconnects the account, we delete or revoke stored tokens where technically possible.

We request Instagram permissions only for identifying the professional account selected by the user, publishing user-approved content, and retrieving account or media insights displayed in UGC Pilot. Tokens are retained only while needed to provide those authorized features, unless limited retention is required for security, legal, or dispute-resolution reasons.

Uploaded media and generated content

We store uploaded or selected images and videos so users can create drafts, prepare carousel slides and video content, edit creative assets, schedule Instagram posts, and publish at the selected time. Users can delete drafts, uploaded media, scheduled posts, or their account.

Uploaded media is deleted within 30 days after account deletion unless limited records must be retained for security, fraud prevention, billing, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.

AI-assisted content

UGC Pilot provides AI-assisted content preparation, including personalized ideas, automatic multi-slide carousel drafts, captions, and video editing workflows. Users may review, modify, save, or discard these outputs before scheduling them.

We may process and store information associated with this functionality, including user instructions, uploaded media, generated outputs, selected assets, and whether particular content requires an AI-generated content disclosure.

When a user chooses to publish content to Instagram, we may transmit the applicable content settings and disclosures required by Instagram.

Information sharing

We share information only as needed to provide the service, follow user instructions, operate the product, and comply with law or Instagram requirements.

  • Meta and Instagram, when the user connects an Instagram account, requests Instagram data, or schedules or publishes approved content.
  • Cloud hosting, database, storage, email, analytics, error monitoring, and payment providers.
  • Law enforcement, regulators, or legal requesters when required by applicable law.

Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and analytics tools to keep users signed in, remember preferences, improve product performance, measure usage, debug errors, and detect abuse.

Data deletion and retention

Users can request deletion by using product settings where available or by emailing privacy@getugcpilot.com. Data deletion instructions are available at https://getugcpilot.com/data-deletion.

Deletion includes connected Instagram identifiers, stored access tokens where technically possible, uploaded or generated media, carousel slides, drafts, scheduled posts, captions, publishing records, and stored Instagram analytics associated with the account, subject to limited legal, security, billing, or dispute-resolution retention needs.

Security

We use HTTPS, access controls, restricted internal access, secure token handling, and encrypted storage where appropriate to protect user data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security.

Children

UGC Pilot is not intended for children under 13 or the minimum age required by local law. Users may not upload or generate content that exploits minors or violates platform child-safety rules.

User rights

Users may request access, correction, deletion, export, or restriction of their personal data by contacting privacy@getugcpilot.com.

Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
