To enable this functionality, we store the media files provided by Users temporarily until they are successfully published. Once the publishing process is completed, these media files are promptly deleted from our servers.

These insights help Users understand the performance of their scheduled posts, engagement levels, and other relevant metrics across their social media accounts.

We are committed to using the collected data solely for the purposes stated above and ensuring that the data is adequately protected.

Data Security
We take the security of User data seriously and implement robust security measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Mydrop employs industry-standard security protocols, including encryption and secure data storage, to safeguard the collected data.

Furthermore, Mydrop leverages the security infrastructure provided by Google and Firebase, which are renowned for their stringent security practices and standards. These measures help ensure the integrity and confidentiality of User data throughout its lifecycle within the App.

In the event of a data breach or unauthorized access, we have established procedures to promptly assess the situation, take appropriate actions, and notify affected Users as required by applicable laws and regulations.

We are committed to maintaining the highest level of data security and continuously monitoring and enhancing our security practices to protect User data effectively.

Scheduled media content: Once the scheduled media content is successfully published on the respective social media platforms, we delete the media files from our servers. We do not retain any copies of the published content after it has been shared with the social media platforms.
