# Dohoo Account Security, Privacy, and Data Practices

> Learn how Dohoo protects your accounts and media with OAuth, SSL/TLS encryption, and strict data-handling policies that keep your information private.

Dohoo is built on the principle that you should always be in control of your data. Every connection to your social accounts uses industry-standard OAuth authorization, all traffic is encrypted in transit, and Dohoo never stores your social platform passwords. This page explains exactly what data Dohoo collects, how it is used, and how you can delete it at any time.

## Authentication Security

Dohoo uses multiple layers of security to protect your account and connected social profiles.

    Every connection between your browser and Dohoo's servers is encrypted with SSL/TLS, protecting your data in transit.

## Data Dohoo Collects

When you use Dohoo, the following information is collected to provide the service:

* **Account information** — your email address and account preferences.
* **Connected social account data** — profile information, channel or page details, and the publishing permissions you grant via OAuth.
* **Uploaded media files** — videos, images, and other content you add to your Dohoo media library.
* **Publishing settings** — scheduled post configurations, captions, hashtags, and platform-specific options you define.

## Data Dohoo Does NOT Collect

<Note>
  Dohoo accesses only the permissions needed for publishing. The following data is never collected or stored:

  * Your social platform **passwords**
  * **Private messages** from any of your social accounts
  * **Follower or following lists**, unless explicitly required for a specific feature you enable
</Note>

## Data Sharing

**Dohoo does not sell, transfer, or disclose your personal data or social account data to third parties.** Your data is used solely within the Dohoo platform to deliver the services you have requested.

## YouTube API Services

Dohoo uses the YouTube API Services to allow you to connect your YouTube channel, publish videos, and view channel analytics. By connecting your YouTube account to Dohoo, you also agree to:

* [YouTube Terms of Service](https://www.youtube.com/t/terms)
* [Google Privacy Policy](http://www.google.com/policies/privacy)

You can revoke Dohoo's access to your YouTube data at any time independently of Dohoo — see the [Deleting Your Data](#deleting-your-data) section below.

## Cookies and Local Storage

Dohoo stores a small amount of data in your browser to deliver a smooth experience.

| Storage Type           | Purpose                                      |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Session cookies        | Keep you authenticated during your session   |
| `localStorage`         | Remember your theme and language preferences |
| Cached interface state | Improve dashboard performance                |

None of this browser-stored data contains your social platform credentials or any sensitive personal information.

## Deleting Your Data

You have the right to remove your data from Dohoo at any time.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Disconnect social accounts">
    Go to **Connections** in your Dohoo dashboard, select any connected account, and click **Disconnect**. This immediately revokes Dohoo's access to that profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Revoke YouTube / Google access">
    Visit [Google Security Settings](https://myaccount.google.com/connections), find Dohoo in the list of connected applications, and click **Remove Access**. This instantly revokes all Google and YouTube permissions held by Dohoo.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete your Dohoo account and all data">
    To permanently delete your account and all associated data, send a request to [privacy@dohoo.io](mailto:privacy@dohoo.io). The Dohoo team will process your request and confirm deletion.
