WaSparks Social — Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what information WaSparks Social collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers our customers (businesses, creators and partners who use the Services), the people who use the Services on a customer's behalf, and the people whose public interactions with a customer's social media pages pass through the Services. Our WhatsApp products are covered by the separate policy at wasparks.com/privacy-policy.
1. What WaSparks Social does
WaSparks Social lets a business connect its own Facebook Pages, Instagram professional accounts and LinkedIn Pages or profiles, and then publish posts, read and reply to comments, and read and reply to messages from one place, either through our application or through our API embedded in a partner's software. We act on the customer's instructions and on the customer's own social media accounts.
2. Information we collect
Account and organisation data. Name, email address, organisation name, plan, billing contact, and the credentials used to sign in to our application or to call our API.
Connected social accounts. When you connect a Facebook Page, Instagram account or LinkedIn Page or profile, the platform gives us an access token for that account together with its identifier, name, username and profile picture. We store the token in encrypted form and use it only to perform the actions you request. We also store the identifier of the platform user who granted the connection, so that we can honour deletion and deauthorisation requests.
Content you publish. The text, links and media of posts you create in the Services, with their scheduling and delivery status.
Comments and messages. Comments left on your connected pages' posts, and messages sent to your connected pages or accounts through Facebook Messenger or Instagram Direct, including the commenter's or sender's platform identifier, display name and profile picture where the platform provides them, the content, and timestamps. This information is delivered to us by the platforms so that you can see and reply to it.
Usage data. API calls, published posts, received and sent comments and messages, counted per organisation for billing and quota purposes. Technical logs (request identifiers, timestamps, error codes, IP address of the API caller) kept for security and support.
We do not collect information from the personal profiles of people who merely comment on or message your pages beyond what the platform delivers with the comment or message. For LinkedIn we do not store the name or picture of individual members who comment, because LinkedIn's terms do not permit it.
3. How we use information
- To provide the Services: connect accounts, publish content, deliver comments and messages to you, send your replies.
- To operate, secure and support the Services: authentication, rate limiting, abuse prevention, troubleshooting.
- To bill customers and partners according to usage.
- To meet legal obligations and to respond to lawful requests.
We do not use the content of your posts, comments or messages for advertising, for building profiles, or for training models, and we do not sell personal information.
4. Meta and LinkedIn platform data
WaSparks Social uses the Facebook Graph API, the Instagram Platform, the Messenger Platform and the LinkedIn Community Management API. Our use of information received from these platforms is limited to providing the features the customer has asked for, and complies with the Meta Platform Terms, the Meta Developer Policies and the LinkedIn API Terms of Use. WaSparks is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc. or LinkedIn Corporation.
When a customer disconnects an account, we delete its access tokens immediately. When a platform user removes WaSparks Social from their Facebook settings, or asks Facebook to delete their data, Facebook notifies us and we delete the tokens and identifiers we hold for that user and disconnect the accounts they granted; see the Data Deletion page for the status of such requests.
5. Sharing
We share information only with:
- The platforms (Meta, LinkedIn) as necessary to perform the actions you request on your accounts.
- Partners, where you use WaSparks Social through a partner's software. The partner is the provider you contracted with and acts as the data controller for your content; WaSparks provides the partner no separate access to your content, and shows the partner only usage counts and account metadata for billing.
- Service providers that host our infrastructure (Google Cloud, region asia-south1, India) and deliver email, under contracts that restrict their use of the data.
- Authorities, where required by law.
6. Retention
- Account and organisation data: for the life of the account and a limited period afterwards for legal and audit purposes.
- Access tokens: until the account is disconnected, the connection is revoked, or a deletion request is received.
- Posts, comments and messages: for as long as the organisation's account is active, or until deleted by the customer.
- Raw platform notifications (webhook payloads): 30 days.
- Usage events: 13 months; aggregated usage totals are kept for billing records.
- Backups: a rolling 30-day window.
7. Security
Access tokens and other secrets are encrypted at rest with keys held separately from the data. All traffic uses TLS. Access to production systems is limited to authorised staff and is logged. No system is perfectly secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your data we will notify you as required by law.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict its processing. Customers can disconnect accounts, delete content and close their organisation from within the Services or by contacting us. People who have interacted with a customer's pages should contact that customer, who controls that data; we will assist the customer in fulfilling the request. For Facebook and Instagram users, the Data Deletion page describes how to have the data we hold about you removed.
To exercise any right, email hello@wasparks.com. We respond within 30 days.

10. International transfers
Our servers are in India. If you use the Services from elsewhere, your information is transferred to and processed in India. Where the law of your country requires safeguards for such transfers, we rely on your consent to the Services and, for business customers, on contractual terms.
11. Children
The Services are for businesses and are not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
