Privacy Policy

Effective date
October 20, 2026
Applies to
Vantr, and everyone using it

This Policy sets out what personal data Vantr collects, the legal basis for each use, who we share it with, how long we keep it, where it is stored, and the rights you can exercise over it.

1.Who we are and what this covers

1.1

This Policy explains how Vantr collects, uses, shares and protects personal data when you use the Vantr web application and related services.

1.2

For the purposes of the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation, Vantr Software Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the controller of the personal data described here.

1.3

Where you use Vantr to publish to a third-party platform, that platform is an independent controller of the data it receives and holds, governed by its own privacy policy. This Policy does not cover what a platform does with your content once published.

1.4

You can reach us about anything in this Policy at privacy@vantr.app. For general help with the Service, write to support@vantr.app.

2.The personal data we collect

2.1

We collect the following categories of personal data:

CategoryWhat it includesWhere it comes from
Account dataEmail address, display name, password hash or third-party sign-in identifier, workspace name and role.You, when you register
Connected platform dataOAuth access and refresh tokens, platform account ID, username, display name, avatar URL, and granted scopes.The platform, when you authorise it
Content dataVideos, images, captions, hashtags, drafts, scheduled times, and publishing status and errors.You, as you use the Service
Performance dataViews, likes, comments, shares and follower counts, and where a platform provides them, reach and profile views. This covers posts you publish through Vantr and posts already on the accounts you connect, so your analytics reflect your whole account rather than only what you did after signing up.Connected platforms
Business recordsBrand deals, contacts, deal values, invoices, contracts, and income and expense entries you record or confirm.You, if you use these features
Brand emails (only if you set this up)Emails you forward to your Vantr deals address, or that arrive in an Outlook inbox you connect (read-only). We read them to spot brand deals, and save the ones that look like deals, with the sender added as a contact.You, or your email provider when you connect it
AI usage dataThe text you submit to an AI feature, the response returned, and a timestamped record of the request.You, when you invoke an AI feature
Bank data (only if you connect a bank)Through Plaid: your bank's name, account names and last four digits, and your transactions (amount, date, merchant or description, category) for up to the last 24 months and going forward. We also keep our suggestion for each transaction, and a rule per merchant learned from how you file it, so the next one is suggested the same way. If you turn on "Always" for a merchant, its purchases are filed for you; income always waits for you to confirm it. We never receive your bank login, and the access is read-only: we cannot move money. Disconnecting a bank, or your plan no longer including bank connections for 7 days, revokes our access and deletes its imported transactions. Income and expenses you already filed stay.Your bank, through Plaid, when you connect it
PayPal data (only if you connect PayPal)Your PayPal email and account ID, and your PayPal transaction history (amount, date, description, and the payer's name and email). Payments wait on Transactions, and nothing counts as income until you confirm it. Our access only reads transactions; it cannot send money. Disconnecting deletes the payments you hadn't decided on.PayPal, when you connect it
Stripe data (only if you connect your own Stripe account)Your Stripe account ID and the charges on it (amount, date, description, and the customer's name and email where Stripe has them). Vantr only reads charges, and logs payments to your earnings so you don't have to. Disconnecting stops this; income already logged stays.Stripe, when you connect it
Tax forms (paid creators only)If we pay you to make content for Vantr, the IRS Form W-9 you upload, which includes your name, address and taxpayer identification number. We use it only to meet our tax reporting duties, such as sending a Form 1099. It is stored privately and only staff who handle payments can open it.You, before your first payment
Billing dataSubscription plan, status, billing period, and payment-processor customer and subscription identifiers. We do not receive or store full card numbers. To keep free trials to one per person, we also keep a one-way keyed hash of your email address and of the network address you started a trial from, which can't be read back as either. Those hashes are deleted 2 years after the trial started.You and Stripe
Technical dataIP address, approximate location derived from it (city, region and country), browser and device type, when you were last active, and server and error logs generated when you use the Service. We also note where and on what device your account was created and where each sign-in came from.Automatically
Push notification data (only in the iPhone and Android apps, if you allow notifications)A device token from Apple or Google that lets us send notifications to your phone, the app version and platform, and when the device was last seen.Your device, when you allow notifications
Newsletter data (only if you sign up for our guides newsletter)Your email address, where you signed up (for example the footer or a guide), and when. You can unsubscribe from any newsletter email at any time.You, when you sign up
Usage data (only while Performance & Analytics is allowed on the cookie notice)The pages you open in the app and when, the first page you visited and the site that referred you, and errors or failed actions you run into. We use it to see where people get stuck and to support you. It is kept for 90 days. If you reject it, we keep only when you were last active.Automatically, with your permission
2.2

We do not collect special categories of personal data (such as health or political data) and ask that you do not submit them through the Service. When you talk to Vann by voice or record a call, your voice is processed only to understand or transcribe what was said. We do not create or store voiceprints or any other biometric identifiers.

4.AI features and your content

4.1

Vann and the other AI features are powered by Google's Gemini API. What is sent to Google depends on what you use:

4.2
  • Asking Vann, or using a writing feature such as caption feedback or rewriting: the text you send, plus the account details needed to answer it (for example your posts, deals and earnings summaries).
  • Vann's daily take on Home: a summary of your recent numbers, generated automatically once a day.
  • Talking to Vann by voice, or sharing your screen or camera with him: your voice, and the frames you share, for as long as the call lasts.
  • Recording a brand call: the call audio, so it can be turned into a transcript. The audio is not stored by Vantr.
  • Scanning a receipt: the photo of the receipt, so its details can be read. The photo is not stored by Vantr.
  • Brand emails, if you forward them to your Vantr deals address or connect an Outlook inbox: each email that looks like a brand deal, sent automatically so the brand, fee and deliverables can be read out of it.
4.3

A record of your Vann conversations is kept in your account history so you can see what was asked and what was returned. We do not train AI models on your content, and we do not send your published videos or images to an AI provider.

4.4

Our provider's own terms matter too. Vantr uses Google's paid Gemini API. Under Google's terms for the paid service, Google does not use the text you submit or the responses it returns to improve its products or train its models, and keeps them only for a limited time to detect abuse and meet legal obligations. Google does not claim ownership of what the model generates.

4.5

Bank, PayPal and Stripe transactions are not sent to an AI provider to be sorted; those suggestions come from Vantr's own rules.

4.6

If you would rather your content not reach an AI provider, don't use Vann's chat, voice, call recording, receipt scanning or brand email forwarding. Everything else in the Service works without them, apart from the daily take on Home.

5.Who we share it with

5.1

We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers who process it on our instructions in order to run the Service:

5.2

Each provider is bound by a data processing agreement, or by contractual terms of equivalent effect, restricting them to processing data on our instructions.

5.3

The current list of the providers who process personal data for us, with what each one handles and where, is kept on our Subprocessors page at https://vantr.app/subprocessors. We update it before adding a new one.

5.4

We may also disclose personal data where we are legally required to, to enforce our Terms, or to protect the rights, safety or property of Vantr or others. Where we are lawfully able to notify you first, we will.

5.5

If Vantr is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, personal data may transfer as part of that transaction. We will give notice before your data becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.

6.YouTube and other Google data

6.1

Vantr uses YouTube API Services. When you connect a YouTube channel, Vantr uses the access you grant to publish the videos you choose, read your channel's videos, statistics and comments so they appear in your Analytics and Inbox, and, if you allow it, post your replies and remove comments you choose to remove. Vantr only does these things when you ask it to or to keep your own dashboard up to date.

6.2

Google's Privacy Policy applies to Google's handling of your data: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Using YouTube through Vantr also means agreeing to the YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms.

6.3

You can remove Vantr's access to your Google account at any time from Google's security settings: https://myaccount.google.com/connections. You can also disconnect YouTube inside Vantr. To have the YouTube data Vantr stored deleted, delete your Vantr account or write to privacy@vantr.app; we delete it within 30 days.

6.4

Vantr's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements (https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy). We do not sell this data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models, and people at Vantr do not read it except with your permission, for security, or where the law requires.

7.If you're not a Vantr user

7.1

Creators use Vantr to run their business, so some personal data in Vantr belongs to people who never signed up. If you are one of them, this is what we hold and why.

7.2

Who this covers:

WhoWhat we holdWhere it comes from
People who comment on a creator's postsYour name or username, profile picture, and the text and time of your comment.The platform the comment was posted on, through the creator's connected account
Brand contacts, and people whose emails a creator forwards to VantrYour name, email address, company, and the message you sent, plus any deal details read from it (such as the fee and deliverables).The creator, by forwarding your email or connecting their Outlook inbox, or by adding you as a contact
People who view, pay or sign a creator's invoice or contractYour name and email address, when you viewed the invoice or contract, the network address (IP) and browser you signed or viewed from, your signature, and whether and how much you paid.The creator, and you when you open, sign or pay
People on a brand call a creator recordsYour voice is processed to make a written transcript. The audio is not stored. Details from the call (such as a fee or a deadline) may be saved to the creator's deal.The creator, who confirms everyone on the call agreed to being recorded
People who apply to make paid videos for VantrWhat you put in your application (name, email, social handles, links and your idea), and, if we work together, your payment details and signed agreement.You, when you apply
Newsletter subscribersYour email address, where you signed up, and when.You, when you sign up
7.3

Legal basis: for comments, brand emails, contacts, invoices, contracts and call transcripts, the legitimate interests of the creator and of Vantr in letting creators run their business and keep records of it, or the contract between you and the creator where there is one. For UGC applications, steps you asked for before entering a contract with us. For the newsletter, your consent.

7.4

Retention: comments stay until the creator disconnects that account or closes their Vantr account. Brand emails, contacts, invoices and contracts, including signing and viewing records, stay until the creator deletes them or closes their account. Call audio is never stored. Newsletter details stay until you unsubscribe (after which we keep your address only to make sure you stay unsubscribed, unless you ask us to delete it). UGC applications stay until you ask us to delete them, except that records of paid work are kept as long as tax law requires.

7.5

The creator decides what to do with most of this data in their own business. If you want to object to it or have it deleted, you can ask the creator, or write to privacy@vantr.app and we will help, including by deleting it ourselves where the law gives you that right.

8.Requests from public authorities

8.1

We only disclose personal data to a government agency, regulator or law enforcement body when the law requires us to. We do not hand over data voluntarily or on informal request.

8.2

Every request is reviewed for legality before we act on it: that it comes from an authority with power to make it, follows the correct legal process, and is specific in scope.

8.3

If a request is unlawful, overly broad or fails to follow the correct process, we will challenge it, and we will use the remedies available to us to do so.

8.4

Where we must comply, we disclose only the minimum personal data that the request legally requires.

8.5

We keep a record of each request we receive, our response, the legal basis we relied on and who handled it.

8.6

Unless the law prohibits it, we will tell the affected person about the request before we disclose their data, so they have the chance to object.

9.International transfers

9.1

Vantr and its service providers are located in the United States. If you use the Service from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, your personal data is transferred to and processed in the United States.

9.2

For those transfers we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable, incorporated into our agreements with the providers listed under "Who we share it with".

9.3

You may request a copy of the relevant transfer mechanism by writing to privacy@vantr.app.

10.How long we keep it

10.1

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected:

DataRetention period
Account and workspace dataFor as long as your account is open, then deleted within 30 days of closure.
Content, drafts and scheduled posts, including uploaded videos and imagesUntil you delete them, or within 30 days of account closure.
Connected platform tokensUntil you disconnect the platform or close your account, then deleted promptly.
Performance and analytics dataFor as long as the associated post exists in your account.
Social listening results30 days, then automatically deleted by a scheduled job.
Comment dataComments are refreshed on a rolling 90-day window; records for deleted comments are retained as tombstones so they are not re-imported.
AI request historyFor as long as your account is open, then deleted with the account.
Bank transactionsUntil you disconnect the bank, or 7 days after your plan stops including bank connections, when the connection and its imported transactions are deleted. Income and expenses you filed from them stay in your records.
Merchant rulesUntil you delete them on Transactions, or close your account.
PayPal and Stripe importsPayments you confirm, and Stripe payments logged for you, stay in your earnings until you delete them or close your account. PayPal payments you hadn't decided on are deleted when you disconnect PayPal.
Brand emailsThe record of each email Vantr checked (sender, subject, a short preview and what was done with it), and the deals and contacts made from it, stay until you delete them or close your account.
Contacts created automatically from brand emailsUntil you delete them or close your account.
Recorded brand callsThe audio is never stored. The transcript is used to fill in a new deal and is not saved on its own; deal details you save from it stay with the deal until you delete it or close your account.
Invoice and contract records, including e-signaturesThe signer's name, email, signature, network address and browser, and each send, view and payment, stay with the invoice or contract as evidence of what happened, until you delete it or close your account.
Sign-in history and where your account was createdUntil you close your account, then deleted with it.
Last seenOne record, replaced each time you use Vantr, deleted when you close your account.
Pages visited and errors (usage data)90 days, then automatically deleted by a scheduled job.
Push notification tokensUntil you sign out on that device, Apple or Google tells us the token no longer works, or you close your account.
Cookie choicesIn the vantr_consent cookie for 1 year, and, if you are signed in, on your account until you change them or close your account.
Guides newsletterUntil you unsubscribe. After that we keep only your address and the date you unsubscribed, so you stay unsubscribed, unless you ask us to delete it. Closing your Vantr account deletes it.
Free trial hashes2 years from when the trial started, then automatically deleted by a scheduled job. They are kept for that time even if you close your account, so a trial can't be claimed twice.
Tax forms (W-9) from paid creators4 years after the last payment to you, as US tax law requires, then deleted.
Billing and tax recordsUp to 7 years after the transaction, as required by tax and accounting law. This includes the records our payment processor, Stripe, keeps after you close your account.
Server and security logsTypically 30 days, longer where needed to investigate a specific incident.
10.2

Deleting content in the Service does not remove anything already published on a third-party platform. You must delete that from the platform itself.

10.3

We may retain data longer where necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, or where the law requires it.

11.Your rights

11.1

Depending on where you live, you have some or all of the following rights over your personal data:

  • Access: obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and receive a copy of it.
  • Rectification: have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
  • Erasure: have your data deleted where we no longer have grounds to keep it.
  • Restriction: ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute about it is resolved.
  • Portability: receive the data you provided to us in a structured, machine-readable format, or have it sent to another controller where technically feasible.
  • Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to direct marketing at any time.
  • Withdraw consent: where we rely on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting processing already carried out.
  • Non-discrimination: under California law, we will not deny you service or charge you a different price for exercising your rights.
11.2

You can exercise most of these rights directly in the Service: your settings include data export and account deletion. For anything else, write to privacy@vantr.app. We will respond within one month, and will tell you if we need longer because the request is complex.

11.3

Settings, Export gives you one file (JSON, a common machine-readable format) with your profile and, for the workspace you have open, your posts, uploaded video details, posts imported from your connected accounts, comments in your Inbox, connected channels (never their passwords or tokens), brand deals, deliverables, contacts, invoices with their payments and history, contracts, brand emails, income, expenses and bank transactions, plus your Vann conversations, sign-in history, activity, signup details, notification settings, cookie choices and streaks. What it includes follows what your role in that workspace lets you see. For anything it doesn't cover, such as another workspace or the files themselves, write to privacy@vantr.app and we will send it within one month.

11.4

We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. You may use an authorised agent, in which case we will ask for proof of their authority.

11.5

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you may complain to your local supervisory authority. In the UK that is the Information Commissioner's Office; in the EEA, the authority in your country of residence. We would appreciate the chance to resolve it with you first.

12.How we protect it

12.1

The measures we actually have in place are:

  • Connected platform access and refresh tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they are written to the database, so a database backup contains only ciphertext.
  • Every table enforces row-level security, so a query can only ever return rows belonging to the requesting user's workspace.
  • Workspace roles restrict what each member can do, including who may publish, approve, or manage billing.
  • All traffic between your browser and the Service is encrypted in transit with TLS.
  • Data is stored with established infrastructure providers (Supabase and Vercel) that maintain their own physical and network security controls.
  • Passwords are never stored in plain text; authentication is handled by our identity provider.
12.2

Vantr staff can see an account's recent pages visited (only with analytics consent), errors and sign-in locations, to provide support and fix problems. Staff access is limited by role, and every time staff open an account or act on it is logged.

12.3

We want to be straightforward about the limits of that: Vantr has not undergone a third-party security audit and holds no security certification such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. We do not claim to. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee the Service will never be compromised.

12.4

If a breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, and will notify you without undue delay where the risk is high.

12.5

To report a suspected vulnerability, email support@vantr.app and give us a reasonable chance to fix it before disclosing publicly.

13.Cookies and similar technologies

13.1

We use a small number of cookies: strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and secure your session, and a preference cookie that remembers your light or dark theme.

13.2

While Performance & Analytics is allowed on the cookie notice (in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, only once you allow it; elsewhere it is on unless you turn it off with "Do not sell my personal information" or Cookie settings), we also measure how the app is used: product analytics through PostHog, and a record of the pages you open and the errors you hit, as described above. If you turn it off, neither runs. You can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of any page (in the iPhone and Android apps, which don't show the notice, under Settings, Cookie settings; there the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland start with only strictly necessary cookies).

13.3

We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a choice to turn off optional analytics and advertising cookies.

13.4

We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not embed third-party advertising networks.

13.5

Our Cookie Policy sets out each cookie, its purpose and its lifetime.

14.Children

14.1

The Service is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

14.2

If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, write to privacy@vantr.app and we will delete it.

15.Changes to this Policy

15.1

We may update this Policy as the Service changes. The effective date at the top records when the current version took effect.

15.2

Where a change materially affects how we use your personal data, we will give notice by email or in the Service before it takes effect, and where the law requires it we will ask for your consent.

15.3

What changed on October 20, 2026: we added a section for people who aren't Vantr users, more uses to the legal basis table (analytics, sign-in history, push notifications, voice and call recording, staff support access), retention periods for brand emails, call transcripts, contacts, sign-in history, push tokens, e-signature records, cookie choices and the newsletter, more providers (push notifications, the App Store, Outlook, photo and GIF search) and a link to our Subprocessors page, Global Privacy Control, and a fuller description of what your data export includes. We also made clear that we don't create voiceprints or other biometric identifiers.

16.Contact

16.1

For any privacy question, to exercise a right, or to request a copy of a data transfer mechanism, write to privacy@vantr.app or by post to Vantr Software, Inc., 490 Post St, Ste 500 PMB 2430, San Francisco, CA 94102.

16.2

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as we are not required to under Article 37 of the GDPR. Privacy enquiries are handled by Vantr's founders directly.
