How AutoFeed Posts and Handles Your Data
Which APIs AutoFeed uses to publish, what happens to your credits when a render fails, who owns the videos, and what is stored.
Posting
Official APIs Only
How AutoFeed reaches your channels, and what it is allowed to do there.
TikTok: the official Content Posting API
AutoFeed connects through TikTok Login and publishes with TikTok's Content Posting API, the same route TikTok offers every approved app. It asks for 6 permissions: your basic profile and stats, your video list (to read the views shown in your dashboard), and video upload and publish.
YouTube: the YouTube Data API, through a Google-verified app
AutoFeed signs in with Google and uploads with the YouTube Data API. It asks for two scopes:
youtube.uploadto publish, andyoutube.force-ssl, the only scope YouTube offers for posting the optional first comment. Google reviewed and verified the app for those scopes.No passwords, and you can disconnect at any time
AutoFeed never sees your TikTok or Google password: each platform hands it a token after you approve the connection on the platform's own screen. Disconnect an account in AutoFeed, or revoke access from the platform's security settings, and posting stops.
Credits
Failed Renders Are Refunded
You pay for videos that finish, not for ones that fail.
Charged when a video starts, refunded when it fails
Credits are deducted when generation begins. If the render fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically in the same step that marks the video as failed; there is no ticket to file.
Stuck renders are caught too
A sweeper checks for videos still generating after 15 minutes, marks them as timed out and refunds them.
Not enough credits means nothing was charged
A video that never starts because the balance is too low is not a failure and costs nothing.
Your videos
You Own What You Make
Ownership, watermarks, how long files are kept and the public library.
Your videos are yours
You keep full ownership of what you create, as the Terms of Service say. Post it, edit it or sell it wherever you like.
No watermark, on every plan
Every plan exports full HD with no AutoFeed watermark or logo burned into the video.
Renders are kept for 14 days
Rendered files are deleted from storage 14 days after they are made, long enough for every scheduled post to go out. Download anything you want to keep; the posted copy stays on your channel.
The public video library is opt-out
Videos a series posts publicly can appear in the AutoFeed video library with their script and settings. Turn off Feature my videos in Account settings and none of yours are shown.
Data
What Is Stored
The short version of the Privacy Policy.
What AutoFeed stores
Your account email, the tokens of the accounts you connect, your series settings and schedule, the videos you generate (for the retention window above) and their post history and views.
What it does not
Card details: payments are processed by Stripe and stored by Stripe. Your social media passwords: see above.
The full policies
Everything collected, why, for how long and how to delete it is in the Privacy Policy. The rules for using AutoFeed are in the Terms of Service.
Questions
Is it safe to connect my TikTok or YouTube account?
AutoFeed connects only through TikTok and Google sign-in screens and posts only through their official APIs. It never sees your password, and you can revoke access at any time.
Can AutoFeed post to Instagram or Facebook?
Not yet. Auto-posting works with TikTok and YouTube Shorts. You can download any video and post it anywhere else yourself.
What happens to my credits if a video fails?
They are refunded automatically, either when the failure happens or, if a render gets stuck, within about a quarter of an hour.
How do I delete my data?
Email hi@autofeed.ai from your account email; the Privacy Policy explains what is deleted and what must be kept for legal reasons.
