How BestTimeToPost collects, uses, and protects your information
2026/05/03
This Privacy Policy describes how BestTimeToPost (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and related services (collectively, the “Service”). The Service is a free tool that helps creators estimate best times to post on social platforms (for example Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook), together with educational content such as our blog. We do not charge you to use the core calculator or blog.
By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Depending on how you use the Service, we may process:
Account and profile data
If you create an account (for example via email or a social login we enable), we may collect identifiers such as your name, email address, and profile details you choose to provide.
Calculator and tool usage context
When you use the posting-time calculator, you may select options such as platform, audience country or region, niche, content type, goal, and timezones. Much of this runs in your browser to show results; we may still process limited technical or operational data related to requests (for example to deliver pages securely and to prevent abuse).
Technical and usage data
Such as IP address, device and browser type, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, referring URLs, and timestamps. We use this to operate the Service, improve performance, troubleshoot, and protect against fraud or misuse.
Communications
If you contact us (for example through a contact form or email), we keep the content of that message and our replies as needed to respond and to maintain records.
We use the information above to:
We do not sell your personal information.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, or similar jurisdictions, we rely on appropriate legal bases such as: performance of a contract, legitimate interests (for example security and product improvement, balanced against your rights), consent where required (for example certain cookies or marketing), and legal obligation.
We may share information with:
We require service providers to use data only as needed to perform services for us and in line with this policy or stricter agreements where applicable.
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Calculator inputs are generally not stored as a long-term “history” unless we introduce a feature that explicitly saves them to your account and we describe that in an updated policy.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, or to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, please contact us. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
If you access the Service from outside the country where our servers or providers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
The Service is not directed at children under the age where parental consent is required in your region. We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “date” field in the front matter when we do. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us.
