Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Platform Data
When you connect your Meta account to our Matrixx Ads Manager platform via Facebook Login, we access and store data from Meta's APIs to operate the service on your behalf. Specifically:
- Long-lived OAuth access tokens issued after you grant permission. Tokens are stored encrypted at rest and used solely to call Meta APIs on your behalf.
- The permissions we request are ads_management (to upload creative assets and create ads in your ad account, always in PAUSED status for your review) and ads_read (to pull ad performance metrics such as spend, impressions, clicks, video views, and conversions into our analytics dashboard).
- Campaign, ad set, ad, ad creative, and pixel identifiers from ad accounts you have granted us access to.
- Aggregate performance metrics returned by the Meta Ads Insights API.
We do not use Meta data for any purpose other than operating the features you use inside the platform, and we do not sell or share Meta data with third parties. You can revoke our access at any time by disconnecting your Meta account from within Matrixx Ads Manager, or by removing the app from your Facebook account at facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools. To request deletion of your associated data, see our Data Deletion Instructions.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. OAuth tokens and associated account data for Matrixx Ads Manager are retained until you disconnect your Meta account, revoke access, or request deletion, at which point they are removed within 30 days.
