Privacy policy

Who we are and what this covers

Surge Software Solutions Private Limited ("Surge", "we") of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India is the data fiduciary (data controller) for SocialPostScheduler and this website, socialpostscheduler.com. Questions: [email protected].

What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address and, if you sign in with Google, your profile picture. Google sign-in shares only your name, email and profile picture with us. We do not ask Google for your contacts, files or mail at sign-in.
• What you put into the product: documents, website addresses and other content you upload or create, and the results the product makes from them.
• Connected accounts: if you choose to connect another service, we receive the data that connection needs to do the job you asked for. You can disconnect at any time.
• Payments: if you add a prepaid balance, Razorpay processes the payment. We receive a payment reference and status, not your full card or bank details.
• Technical data: IP address, browser, pages used, errors and timestamps, kept in server logs to run, secure and debug the service.
• Enquiries: what you send through the chat or by email.

How we use it

• To provide the product you signed up for, including its AI features.
• To sign you in, secure your account and prevent abuse.
• To send service emails, such as sign-in codes, alerts and receipts.
• To charge usage from your prepaid balance, at the rates on the pricing page.
• To answer your questions and support requests.
• To fix problems and improve the product.

We do not sell personal data, we do not show ads, and we do not share your data with advertisers. We do not use your content to train AI models for anyone else.

Where your data is processed

• Our servers: SocialPostScheduler's application and database run on Surge's own servers in Bengaluru, India.
• Network: traffic to this website passes through Cloudflare's global network, which may handle it outside India.
• AI: AI features run first on Surge's own AI server in Bengaluru. SocialPostScheduler can send a request to Anthropic (Claude), outside India, as a fallback when our own model fails.
• Email: service emails are sent through Resend, outside India.

When data leaves India, it goes only to the service providers listed in this policy, for the purposes listed here.

Service providers

We use these providers:

• Cloudflare: network and security for this website.
• Resend: service email.
• Razorpay: payments for wallet top-ups.
• Google: sign-in, if you choose Google sign-in.
• Anthropic: AI fallback.
• Sarvam AI (India): Indian-language features.

Each provider receives only what it needs for its task, under its own terms and privacy policy.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in and secure your session. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

We keep your account and content while your account is open. When you delete content or close your account, we delete it from our live systems, except where the law requires us to keep records (for example payment records) or where we need it to resolve a dispute.
