Solara AI

Privacy policy

Your Privacy Matters: The owner of the Solara AI application (the "Application") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use our services. We are committed to transparency and giving you control over your data.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy is provided by the owner of Solara AI (hereinafter: "we," "us," or "our") and describes:

Consent and Use: By using the Application, you declare that you have read, understood, and agree to this Privacy Policy. If you choose to continue using the Application's services, it shall be deemed as your full consent to and acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree or do not wish for the described information to be collected, please refrain from using the Application.

No Legal Obligation to Provide Information: There is no legal obligation on you to provide information to us. However, providing certain information is a condition for receiving the full range of services in the Application. If you do not wish to provide such information, you may be prevented from using some of the Application's services.

Note: This Privacy Policy uses the masculine form for convenience only and addresses all genders.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

While using the Application's services, we collect information that you voluntarily provide, some of which may personally identify you:

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Application, we automatically collect:

2.3 Information from Third-Party Sources

We collect relevant information from third-party platforms and services, and use it for the purpose of learning and improving the service, except the data we receive from the social platforms you connect (see Section 3.3):

2.4 AI-Generated and Processed Content

We collect and process:

2.5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to collect information. See Section 10 for detailed information about cookies.

2.6 AI Agents and API Keys

You can let an AI agent, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor, or your own software use the Application for your workspace. You connect an AI agent by signing in to Solara and choosing Allow on the page that names it, or you create an API key in the Application. Either way, it acts as you, in your workspace only, and only with the permissions you gave it:

It cannot see your password, your payment details or any other workspace.

What We Store:

Your AI Agent's Provider: Your conversation with an AI agent, and what our tools send back to it (for example a video's status, its edit and what is said in it, the names of your connected social accounts, or a link to download a video), is processed by the AI agent's provider, such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Cursor, under that provider's own privacy policy and terms. We do not control how the provider uses or keeps that information. An AI agent you connect is a service you choose, not one of our service providers in Section 4.1.

How to Stop It: In the Application, open the menu under your name and choose Connected apps to disconnect an AI agent, or API keys to delete a key. It stops working at once. Removing Solara from the AI agent alone may leave the connection in place, so disconnect it in the Application to be sure. Deleting your account deletes your API keys and your connections. How long we keep these records is in Section 6.1.

2.7 YouTube

Solara uses YouTube API Services. When you connect a YouTube channel, we use them to upload the videos you choose to publish to that channel, and to show you the channel's name and picture and whether YouTube has finished processing each upload. We also post the first comment you write under a Short when you ask us to, and show you how the Shorts we published for you are doing (see First Comment and Post Stats below). We read nothing else from YouTube: no other videos or comments, and no stats for any video we did not publish for you.

Google's Privacy Policy: YouTube is a Google service. How Google handles your information is described in the Google Privacy Policy. By using Solara's YouTube features you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (see Section 8.5 of our Terms of Service).

What We Access and Store:

How We Use It: Only to post the videos you choose to your channel, at the time you choose, with the first comment you ask for, and to show you the channel and how each upload is doing. We never upload a video or post a comment you did not choose to publish.

First Comment: When you ask us to, we post the first comment you wrote under the Short we published for you, as your channel. Where Solara offers first comments on YouTube, we ask Google for this permission (youtube.force-ssl) when you connect YouTube, on the same Google screen as the others, or, for a channel you connected before, when you first allow comments on YouTube. We use it only to post that first comment. We read, edit and delete no other comment, and we never rate videos.

Post Stats: We read the view, like and comment counts of the Shorts we published for you (youtube.readonly), and, if you allow it, their watch time, average view duration and subscribers gained (YouTube Analytics, yt-analytics.readonly), only to show them to you in Solara's calendar. We refresh each of them at least every 30 days and delete any we could not refresh in 30 days, and we delete them all when you disconnect YouTube or revoke our access (within 7 days of a revocation). They are not shared, not sold, and not used for advertising or to train AI models.

No Selling or Sharing: We do not sell the YouTube data we store or share it with any other company, and we do not use it for advertising or to train AI models. It is kept on our hosting provider's servers (AWS, see Section 4.1). An AI agent you connect with permission to read (Section 2.6) can see the name of the channel you connected. The Application shows no advertisements (Section 11).

How to Disconnect: In the Application, open Social accounts and choose Disconnect on YouTube. This revokes our access at Google and deletes what we stored from YouTube. You can also revoke the Application's access at any time in your Google Account's security settings, at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.

Deletion: When you disconnect YouTube or revoke our access, we delete the YouTube data we stored within 7 days. Disconnecting in the Application deletes it at once. We renew our access with Google every hour or so, and when Google refuses to renew it, because you revoked our access or it expired, we delete that channel's data about a day later. Deleting your account deletes it at once too. Deleting this data does not delete videos already posted to your channel: to remove those, delete them on YouTube.

Cookies: When you connect YouTube, the Application sets one essential cookie in your browser, for up to 15 minutes, so that Google's answer returns to the browser that started the connection. It holds no YouTube data. Our other cookies are described in Section 10 and our Cookies policy.

Questions: Send questions or complaints about how we handle your YouTube data to contact@solaraai.com (see Section 13).

2.8 Threads

When you connect a Threads profile, we use Meta's Threads API to publish the posts you schedule in the Application to that profile, at the time you choose, with the replies you write under them, and to show you the profile's username and picture and how the posts we published for you are doing. We read nothing else from Threads: no other posts, replies or profiles, and no stats for any post we did not publish for you.

Meta's Privacy Policy: Threads is a Meta service. How Meta handles your information is described in the Meta Privacy Policy and the Threads Supplemental Privacy Policy.

The Permissions We Ask For:

What We Store:

How We Use It: Only to publish what you schedule, at the time you choose, and to show you the connected profile and how each post is doing. We never publish a post or a reply you did not choose to publish.

Replies: When you add replies to a post, we post them as your profile, under the post we published for you: the first answers that post, and each next one the reply before it. We never reply to anyone else's post or reply, and we do not read, hide or delete replies.

Post Stats: We read the views, likes, replies, reposts, quotes and shares of each post we published for you (threads_manage_insights), for that post alone, only to show them to you and the members of your workspace in Solara's calendar. We read them about an hour, a day, 3, 7 and 28 days after the post went out, then every 25 days, and when you open the post. We refresh each post's stats at least every 30 days and delete any we could not refresh in 30 days. We read no stats for your profile as a whole, and none for anyone else's posts.

No Selling or Sharing: We do not sell the Threads data we store or share it with any other company, and we do not use it for advertising or to train AI models. It is kept on our hosting provider's servers (AWS, see Section 4.1). An AI agent you connect with permission to read (Section 2.6) can see the username of the profile you connected and the posts on your calendar; it cannot post to Threads. The Application shows no advertisements (Section 11).

How to Disconnect: In the Application, open Social accounts and choose Disconnect on Threads. You can also remove Solara in the Threads app, under Settings, Account, Website permissions.

Deletion: When you disconnect Threads in the Application, we delete at once the token, the profile's details and the copy of its picture, and the records of the posts and replies we published to it, with their stats. When you remove Solara in Threads, Meta tells us and we delete the same data at once, in every workspace that connected that profile. If you ask Meta to have us delete your data, we delete it at once too, and Meta gives you a confirmation code and a link to a page of ours that says when it was deleted. Deleting this data does not delete posts already published to your profile: to remove those, delete them on Threads.

Questions: Send questions or complaints about how we handle your Threads data to contact@solaraai.com (see Section 13).

2.9 Pinterest

When you connect a Pinterest account, we use the Pinterest API to save the photos and videos you choose to publish as Pins on the board you pick, at the time you choose, and to show you the account's name and picture and your boards, so you can pick one. We read nothing else from Pinterest: not your other Pins, your followers or anyone else's content.

Pinterest's Privacy Policy: How Pinterest handles your information is described in Pinterest's Privacy Policy.

The Permissions We Ask For:

What We Store:

We read your boards from Pinterest each time you pick one and do not store the list.

How We Use It: Only to save the Pins you choose to publish, at the time you choose, on the board you pick, and to show you the connected account. We never save a Pin or make a board you did not ask for.

No Selling or Sharing: We do not sell the Pinterest data we store or share it with any other company, and we do not use it for advertising or to train AI models. It is kept on our hosting provider's servers (AWS, see Section 4.1). An AI agent you connect with permission to read (Section 2.6) can see the name of the account you connected and the posts on your calendar; it cannot post to Pinterest. The Application shows no advertisements (Section 11).

How to Disconnect: In the Application, open Social accounts and choose Disconnect on Pinterest. You can also remove Solara's access on Pinterest, under Settings, Security, where Pinterest lists the apps connected to your account (see Pinterest's help on connected apps).

Deletion: When you disconnect Pinterest in the Application, we delete at once the tokens, the account's details and the copy of its picture. The record of each Pin already saved stays in that post's history in the Application, no longer linked to the account. If you remove Solara's access on Pinterest instead, we learn of it the next time we use or renew our access (we renew it at least once a month), and 28 days later we delete the account's details, its tokens, the copy of its picture and the records of its Pins, unless you connect it again first. Deleting this data does not delete Pins already saved: to remove those, delete them on Pinterest.

Questions: Send questions or complaints about how we handle your Pinterest data to contact@solaraai.com (see Section 13).

Important: We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

5. Data Storage and International Transfers

5.1 Data Storage

The data collected, as well as any content you upload, share, or create in the Application, will be stored by us on hosting servers. These databases may be stored on servers located in your country or abroad. By using the Application, you declare that you consent to your information being stored on these servers.

5.2 International Data Transfers

When transferring personal data outside your region (e.g., from the EEA/UK to Israel/US), we use appropriate safeguards, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK IDTA/Addendum, and we perform transfer impact assessments. Copies of the relevant clauses are available on request.

We recommend you export any data you wish to retain before terminating your account. After termination, we may permanently delete your data from our systems and cannot guarantee data recovery.

6.3 Bot Protection

7.1 Your Responsibility

7.2 No Absolute Security Guarantee

While these security systems and procedures reduce the risk of unauthorized intrusions, they do not provide absolute security. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the Application and its services will be completely immune to unauthorized access to the stored information.
