1. Using the service

You may use HackDesk Publisher only if you are legally able to enter into these terms and are authorized to control every TikTok account you connect. You are responsible for the videos, captions, settings, and other material you choose to publish.

2. Account authorization

TikTok account access is granted through TikTok's authorization process. You must not connect an account you do not own or have permission to manage. You may revoke the service's access through TikTok's account settings. You remain responsible for keeping your TikTok account secure.

3. Your content

You retain ownership of your content. You grant HackDesk Publisher a limited, nonexclusive license to process, transmit, and deliver your content only as needed to provide the publishing service.

You represent that you have all rights needed to publish the content and that it complies with applicable law, TikTok's terms, and TikTok's community and content policies.

4. Acceptable use

You may not use the service to:

• Publish unlawful, infringing, deceptive, abusive, or harmful content.
• Access or publish to an account without authorization.
• Interfere with the service, bypass security controls, or misuse TikTok's platform.
• Use automated activity in a way that violates TikTok's rules or applicable law.

5. Third-party platform

HackDesk Publisher relies on TikTok services. TikTok is a separate service governed by its own terms and policies. We do not control TikTok's availability, review decisions, publishing limits, account actions, or changes to its platform.

6. Availability and changes

We may update, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the service. We may also refuse or remove access when needed to protect the service, comply with law, or address a violation of these terms.

7. Disclaimers

The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service or that a post will be accepted, published, distributed, or viewed on TikTok.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, HackDesk Publisher will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunities arising from use of the service. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid to use the service during the twelve months before the claim, or 100 US dollars if you paid nothing.

9. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.

1. Information we collect

Depending on the permissions you grant through TikTok, we may receive:

• Basic TikTok account information, such as display name, avatar, user identifier, and account status.
• Authorization credentials, including access and refresh tokens used to connect the service to your TikTok account.
• Videos, captions, privacy choices, and other post settings you provide for publication.
• Publication details, such as submission status, TikTok post identifiers, timestamps, and error messages.
• Limited technical information needed to operate and secure the service, such as device, browser, IP address, and service logs.

We do not ask for or store your TikTok password.

2. How we use information

We use information to authenticate your account connection, prepare and publish content you direct us to publish, show delivery status, troubleshoot failures, protect the service, comply with legal obligations, and improve reliability.

3. How information is shared

We share content and related post settings with TikTok when you direct the service to publish. We may also use service providers that support hosting, storage, security, and operations, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.

We may disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transfer. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. Retention

We keep account connection data for as long as needed to provide the service or until access is revoked. Videos and publishing records are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for delivery, troubleshooting, security, and legal obligations. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information and operational needs.

5. Your choices

You may disconnect HackDesk Publisher through TikTok's account settings. You may also contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with the service. Some information may be retained when required for security, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children

HackDesk Publisher is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Users must also meet TikTok's age requirements in their region.

8. International processing

Information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

9. Policy updates

We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated through the service or by another appropriate method.
