Privacy Policy
This policy covers the website chevngko.dev and the Threads Claude poster app, a private tool I use to run the Threads account @chevngko.dev and the CV Brief newsletter. The app is used only by me, for my own account. It is not offered to other Threads users, and nobody else can log in to it.
What the app does
- Publishes posts and replies to my own Threads account.
- Reads replies to my posts so I can answer them.
- Searches public Threads posts by topic keywords (for example "computer vision" or "object detection") to find conversations I may want to join.
- Uses an AI model to draft a reply. I review every draft and decide whether to post it. Nothing is posted to another person's conversation without my manual approval.
Information the app processes
| Data | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| My Threads profile ID and username | Threads API | Publishing and identifying my own posts |
| Text, username, timestamp and link of replies to my posts | Threads API | Showing me the reply and drafting an answer |
| Text, username, timestamp and link of public posts matching my keywords | Threads API (keyword search) | Suggesting relevant conversations to me |
| Draft replies and basic counts (drafted, posted, skipped, cost) | Generated by the app | Approval workflow and budget tracking |
The app does not collect email addresses, phone numbers, private messages, location, payment details or any data from people who have not posted publicly or replied to my posts. It does not build profiles of individuals, and it does not use the data for advertising.
Service providers
- Meta (Threads API): source of the posts and replies, and where approved replies are published.
- Anthropic (Claude API): the text of a post or reply is sent to generate a draft. It is processed under Anthropic's API terms.
- Cloudflare (Workers and KV): runs the app and stores the temporary records described below.
- Telegram: delivers drafts and status messages to my own private chat for approval.
I do not sell, rent or share this information with anyone else.
How long data is kept
- Draft replies awaiting my approval: deleted automatically after 3 days.
- IDs of posts already processed (so they are not processed twice): deleted automatically after 45 days. Only the ID is kept, not the text.
- Daily counts and spend totals: deleted automatically after 40 days. These contain no personal data.
- Replies I choose to publish remain on Threads as public posts on my account, under Threads' own terms.
Your choices and rights
If your post or reply was processed and you would like any related record deleted, or you want to know what is held about you, email hello@chevngko.dev with your Threads username. I will act within 30 days. See the data deletion instructions. I handle personal data in line with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010.
