Privacy Policy 

Last updated: March 2026
 

SideStreet Malta ("we", "us", or "our") operates the SideStreet Publisher application (the "App"), a content management tool used to schedule and publish content to Facebook and Instagram on behalf of SideStreet Malta.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our App. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

The App connects to Facebook and Instagram via the Meta Graph API. In doing so, it may access:

  • Facebook Page information (name, ID, access tokens) for pages you administer

  • Instagram Business Account information linked to your Facebook Page

  • Content published to or scheduled for your Page and Instagram account (posts, images, captions)

  • Page engagement data (read-only metrics such as reach and reactions)

We do not collect personal data from your Facebook followers or Instagram audience. We do not access your personal Facebook profile data beyond what is strictly necessary to authenticate and manage your Page.

2. How We Use the Information

Information accessed via the Meta API is used solely to:

  • Publish and schedule posts to your Facebook Page and Instagram Business Account

  • Display your existing content within the App for management purposes

  • Verify that posts have been successfully published

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Data Retention

Access tokens and API credentials are stored only as long as necessary to operate the App. We do not store copies of your Facebook or Instagram content beyond what is required for the scheduling queue. You may revoke the App's access at any time via your Facebook Settings → Apps and Websites.

4. Data Processors

We use the following third-party service to operate the App:

  • Lovable Technologies — provides the application infrastructure and hosting for the SideStreet Publisher App. Lovable Technologies operates data centres in the United States and Sweden.

These processors are bound by data processing agreements and handle your data solely on our instructions.

5. Facebook and Meta Platform Data

The App uses the following Meta API permissions:

  • instagram_basic — to read basic Instagram Business Account information

  • instagram_content_publish — to publish content to Instagram on your behalf

  • pages_show_list — to identify which Facebook Pages you manage

  • pages_read_engagement — to read engagement metrics on your Page

  • pages_manage_posts — to create and manage posts on your Facebook Page

Data obtained through these permissions is used exclusively within the scope described above and is not shared with any party other than as described in Section 4.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

As SideStreet Malta is based in Malta (EU), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction or deletion of your data

  • Withdraw consent and revoke App access at any time

  • Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC) of Malta

7. Data Deletion

To request deletion of any data we hold relating to your account, please contact us at luigi@sidestreetmalta.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

You can also revoke the App's access to your Facebook and Instagram data at any time by visiting Facebook Settings → Apps and Websites and removing "SideStreet Publisher".

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Access tokens are stored securely and never exposed publicly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
