Privacy Policy Viral Outliers

At Viral Outliers, accessible from https://viraloutliers.com/, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that are collected and recorded by Viral Outliers and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, contact us at info@viraloutliers.com.

Log Files

Viral Outliers follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, Viral Outliers uses "cookies." These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.

Our Advertising Partners

Some advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners are listed below. Each of our advertising partners has its own Privacy Policy for its policies on user data. For easier access, we hyperlinked to their Privacy Policies below:

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited and whether a visit leads to a purchase or subscription. When we run advertising campaigns, we may also use measurement technologies from our advertising partners (such as the Meta Pixel and the TikTok Pixel) to measure the effectiveness of those campaigns. This includes reporting events such as starting a checkout or completing a purchase (including the plan purchased and the amount paid) back to the relevant advertising partner. We do not send them your name, email address, or account details through these tools.

Privacy Policies

You may consult this list to find the Privacy Policy for each of the advertising partners of Viral Outliers.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Viral Outliers, which are sent directly to users’ browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites you visit.

Note that Viral Outliers has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

Third-Party Privacy Policies

Viral Outliers’s Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions on how to opt out of certain options.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. To know more detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers, it can be found at the browsers’ respective websites. What Are Cookies?

Children’s Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

Viral Outliers does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

Online Privacy Policy Only

Google OAuth and User Data

Viral Outliers uses Google OAuth for account authentication and login purposes. This section describes how we access, use, store, and share Google user data in compliance with the Google API Services User Data Policy and Google APIs Terms of Service.

Data Accessed

When you sign up or log in to Viral Outliers using Google OAuth, we access the following types of Google user data:

  • Email address
  • Basic profile information (name and profile picture)
  • Google account ID

Data Usage

We use the Google user data we access for the following purposes:

  • Account Creation and Authentication: Your email address and Google account ID are used to create and manage your Viral Outliers account, and to authenticate you when you log in.
  • User Identification: Your basic profile information (name and profile picture) is used to personalize your account and identify you within the Viral Outliers platform.
  • Communication: Your email address may be used to send you important account-related notifications, updates, and communications related to the Viral Outliers service.

Data Storage and Security

The Google user data we collect is stored securely in our database. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your data is retained only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as required by law.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your Google user data to third parties. We do not share your Google user data with any third parties except in the following circumstances:

  • When required by law or to comply with legal processes
  • To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public
  • With service providers who assist us in operating our website, subject to confidentiality agreements

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, update, or delete your Google user data at any time. You can revoke Viral Outliers's access to your Google account by visiting your Google Account Permissions page. If you revoke access or delete your account, your data will be removed from our systems in accordance with our data retention policies.

Pinterest API and User Data

Viral Outliers uses the Pinterest API to let you connect your Pinterest account and publish infographics that you create in our app. This section describes how we access, use, store, and share data obtained from Pinterest.

Viral Outliers is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or sponsored by Pinterest. Pinterest is a trademark of Pinterest, Inc.

Data Accessed

When you connect a Pinterest account to Viral Outliers, we request the following OAuth scopes from Pinterest:

  • boards:read, boards:write
  • pins:read, pins:write
  • user_accounts:read, user_accounts:write

From Pinterest we store the following profile information about your connected account:

  • Pinterest account ID
  • Account name (username or display name)
  • Profile URL
  • Avatar URL

We also store the following credentials needed to call the Pinterest API on your behalf:

  • Access token
  • Refresh token
  • Token expiration timestamp

Data Usage

The Pinterest data we access is used only for the following purposes:

  • Authentication: Access and refresh tokens are used to authenticate API calls to Pinterest on your behalf.
  • Board selection: We list your Pinterest boards and board sections in our infographic creator so you can choose where to publish.
  • Publishing pins: When you schedule or publish an infographic, we send the pin to Pinterest via the Pinterest API.

We do not use Pinterest data for advertising, analytics, profiling, model training, or any purpose other than the ones listed above.

Data Storage and Security

Pinterest credentials and profile metadata are stored in our Supabase database with encryption at rest. Access tokens are never exposed to the browser; all Pinterest API calls are made from our server.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, redistribute, or otherwise share Pinterest content or Pinterest-derived data with any third party. Pinterest data is used only within Viral Outliers to provide the features described above.

Disconnecting Your Pinterest Account

You can disconnect your Pinterest account at any time from the Connected Accounts tab in Settings. When you disconnect:

  • We delete your Pinterest OAuth access token and refresh token.
  • We delete the stored Pinterest profile metadata (account ID, account name, profile URL, avatar URL).
  • We remove the Pinterest account binding from any of your content groups (the groups themselves are kept so you can connect a different Pinterest account later).
  • Any pins you had scheduled but not yet published are cancelled. They will not be sent to Pinterest.

Pins you have already published remain on Pinterest. The infographic images you generated and the in-app records of pins you created remain in your Viral Outliers account because they are your own content; you can delete them individually from the dashboard at any time.

You can also revoke Viral Outliers's access from your Pinterest connected apps settings.

API Keys and API Usage

Viral Outliers offers an API and connectors for AI agents. If you create an API key in Settings, we store only a hashed version of the key, so we cannot read the key back after it has been created. We log API usage, including which endpoints are called, the credits spent, and timestamps. This information is used for billing, enforcing rate limits, and preventing abuse.

Payments for API credit packs are processed by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not store your full card details; Stripe handles payment information under its own Privacy Policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy.

Data returned through the API is publicly available content published on third-party social media platforms (such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube), which we collect and analyse for trend analysis. We do not use the API to collect private or non-public personal information from those platforms.
