Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 15, 2026
ReplyRun operates the ReplyRun platform, an Instagram DM automation SaaS accessible at replyrun.in. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information, including data accessed via the Meta Graph API.
1. Who We Are
ReplyRun is an Instagram DM automation platform operated at replyrun.in. We enable Instagram Business and Creator account holders to automate direct message responses via keyword-based campaigns.
Data Controller: Email: privacy@replyrun.in
2. Information We Collect
Account Data: Name, email address, hashed password, profile picture (via Google OAuth), and billing info (processed by Razorpay — we never store raw card data).
Instagram & Meta Platform Data (via Graph API):
- Instagram Business/Creator Account ID (IGSID) and username
- Cached profile info: name, biography, follower count, profile picture URL
- Long-lived Meta Graph API access tokens (encrypted at rest)
- Linked Facebook Page IDs and page-level access tokens
- Inbound comment text and sender IGSIDs (for keyword matching — not stored long-term)
- Outbound DM delivery metadata (message ID, timestamp)
Lead Capture Data (Optional): When enabled on a campaign, we may store the Instagram handles of users who interact. Additional data (email, phone) is only collected if explicitly submitted by the end-user.
3. Meta Platform Data — Special Disclosure
ReplyRun accesses the Instagram Messaging API and Graph API strictly in accordance with Meta Platform Terms and Meta Developer Policies.
- We only send DMs within the 24-hour standard messaging window as required by Meta Messaging Policy.
- We never access private content, friends lists, or messages beyond what is required for your automation features.
- We do not sell, license, or transfer Meta Platform Data to any third party, data broker, or advertiser.
- Access tokens are encrypted at rest and never exposed to client-side code.
- We respect all opt-out requests. If an end-user replies with "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE", they are immediately added to an opt-out list.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use collected information exclusively to: provide and improve the ReplyRun platform; authenticate your identity; dispatch automated DMs via the Instagram Messaging API; generate campaign analytics; send transactional emails; send newsletter updates (with consent only); and comply with legal and Meta Platform Policy requirements.
We never sell your data or use it for targeted advertising.
5. Data Storage & Security
Data is stored in a PostgreSQL database on Neon (AWS ap-southeast-1) with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest. The application runs on Vercel with enforced HTTPS.
- Passwords are hashed using bcrypt (cost factor 12) — plaintext passwords are never stored.
- Meta access tokens are encrypted and rotated every 60 days per Meta requirements.
- Rate limiting, CSRF protection, and disposable-email blocking are enforced on all auth endpoints.
In the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you within 72 hours as required by GDPR Article 33.
6. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We share data only with trusted service providers necessary to operate our platform:
- Meta (Facebook) — Instagram API access (access tokens, IGSID)
- Resend — Transactional email delivery (email address, name)
- Razorpay — Payment processing (email, billing amount)
- Neon / AWS — Database hosting (all stored user data)
