When you connect your accounts, PostaiLit asks for a specific set of Facebook and Instagram permissions. Each one has a clear purpose, and we only use them to create and publish the content you approve.

What PostaiLit does not do
We never post anything you have not approved.
We do not access your personal Facebook profile.
We do not message your followers or contacts.
Important Note
If you decline any requested permission during connection, publishing will fail. If that happens, disconnect and reconnect, and accept all permissions.
Permissions can be revoked at any time from your Facebook account settings. If you revoke them there, our publishing breaks until you reconnect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I limit what PostaiLit can post? You already do, every post passes through your review queue before it publishes.
Why do you need Manage comments? To support reply and engagement features tied to your posts, never to message your followers without your action.
Do these permissions expire? Facebook tokens last about 60 days, and we refresh them automatically. If a refresh fails, reconnect from Settings.
