Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 June 2026

01Who We Are

ContentPilot is a social media content management platform operated by Ellipse Studio (ABN 30 556 897 505) ("we", "us", "our"), an Australian business. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use ContentPilot at ctpilot.com (the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at hello@ellipsestudio.com.au.

02Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.

Client and Brand Data

You may enter information about your clients including their business name, industry, brand voice, target audience, and website. This data is stored securely and used solely to generate and publish content on their behalf.

Social Media Access Tokens

When you or your clients connect a social media account (Facebook, Instagram, Google Business Profile), we receive and store OAuth access tokens issued by those platforms. These tokens allow us to publish content on your behalf. All tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption before being written to our database — we cannot publish to your accounts without an active, valid token that you have granted.

Content and Media

We store posts, captions, blog content, hashtags, and images generated or uploaded through the platform. This content belongs to you and your clients.

Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or payment details. We receive transaction confirmation and store your Stripe Customer ID to manage your subscription.

Usage Data

We collect basic usage data — such as which features you use, when agent runs are triggered, and credit usage — to operate and improve the Service.

03How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the ContentPilot platform
  • Generate AI-assisted content using OpenAI on your behalf
  • Publish content to connected social media platforms at your direction
  • Process payments and manage your subscription via Stripe
  • Send transactional emails (account confirmations, connect links, billing receipts) via Resend
  • Respond to support requests and communicate about your account
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data or your clients' data to train AI models. We do not sell your data to third parties.

04Social Platform Connections

When you connect a Facebook Page, Instagram Business account, or Google Business Profile, we store an encrypted access token that allows us to publish content on your behalf. We request only the minimum permissions necessary to publish and manage posts. We do not access your private messages, contacts, follower lists, or any data beyond what is required to publish.

You can revoke our access at any time from within the Service (Connections page) or directly through each platform's security settings. Revoking access deletes the stored token immediately.

06Data Storage and Security

All data is stored in Supabase-managed PostgreSQL databases hosted on AWS infrastructure. Media files are stored in Supabase Storage. Social media access tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM before being written to the database, and decrypted only when needed to publish content.

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data is stored on servers in the United States (AWS). If you are located in the EU or Australia, your data may be transferred internationally. By using ContentPilot, you consent to this transfer.

07Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or accounting purposes (such as billing records, which are kept for 7 years under Australian law).

Social media access tokens are deleted immediately upon disconnection of a platform or account closure.

08Cookies

We use essential session cookies to keep you logged in and maintain application state. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies. Stripe and Supabase may set their own cookies governed by their respective privacy policies.

09Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction — request that we fix inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Deletion — request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Portability — request your data in a portable, machine-readable format
  • Objection — object to certain uses of your data
  • Withdraw consent — withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@ellipsestudio.com.au. We will respond within 30 days.

10Australian Privacy Act

ContentPilot complies with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

11GDPR (European Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing your data is: contract performance (providing the Service you signed up for), legitimate interests (improving the platform, preventing fraud), consent (connecting social accounts), and legal obligation where required. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

12Intellectual Property

Content you and your clients create using ContentPilot — including AI-generated posts, images, and blog content — belongs to you. We do not claim any ownership over content generated through the Service.

ContentPilot, its design, code, and all non-user-generated content remain the intellectual property of Ellipse Studio. You may not copy, reproduce, or reverse-engineer any part of the platform without our written permission.

13Children

ContentPilot is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

14Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top, and where changes are material, notify you by email. Continued use of ContentPilot after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
