Privacy policy
Last updated September 2026.
Social Cue runs on your machine. The "we don't collect your data" claim is literally true because of how it's built, not because of a promise we could quietly break.
What the product does on your machine
Discovery runs in your own logged-in browser and writes ranked opportunities and drafted replies to local files on your disk. Your social logins are never uploaded. The plugin runs on your Claude subscription; the Chrome extension uses your own API key for the AI provider you choose (Anthropic or OpenAI), stored locally and transmitted only to that provider. We operate no server that receives your brands, the pages you view, or the opportunities you find.
Optional Postiz integration. If you choose to connect a Postiz account (for scheduling original posts from the Content Strategy tab), the posts you compose and schedule are sent to that Postiz endpoint - Postiz's cloud or your own self-hosted server. This is off until you paste an API key, the key is stored only in your local config, and we never see the key or the content.
What this website collects
This website exists to sell and validate Pro subscriptions. It processes:
- Your email and subscription status, so we can deliver your account token and know whether to issue license keys. Payment itself is handled by Polar, our merchant of record - we never see your card details.
- An account token (stored only as a hash) that your plugin presents to fetch a fresh license key. Requests to fetch a key carry the token and nothing else - no page content, brands, or opportunities.
- Aggregate visit statistics via Plausible Analytics: the page visited, the referring site and any campaign tags in the link, browser, operating system, device type, and country. Plausible sets no cookies and keeps no persistent identifier; your IP address is combined with a salt that changes daily, hashed, and never stored. We use it to see whether people arrive and which pages they leave from. The account, checkout, and admin pages are not measured.
What we don't collect
- No uploaded social sessions or cookies - the website sets no analytics cookies and does no cross-site tracking.
- No telemetry of page content or discovered opportunities.
- No central database of your brands or activity.
Chrome extension - Limited Use disclosure
The Social Cue Chrome extension reads the content of social pages you are viewing (Reddit, Hacker News, X) to surface conversations worth joining for your brands - that is its single, disclosed purpose. Social Cue's use of information received from Google APIs and of your web browsing activity adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Page content the extension reads is processed with your own API key for the AI provider you choose (Anthropic or OpenAI), stored only on your device, and never sold, transferred to advertisers, used for creditworthiness or lending purposes, or used for any purpose beyond that single feature.
Third parties
Polar handles checkout, billing, and tax as merchant of record. We use a transactional email provider solely to deliver your account token. Plausible processes the cookieless visit statistics described above. Nothing else sees your data.
