Your data is never used
to train AI.
Plain English. No legalese. No asterisks. Here's exactly what we do — and don't do — with your data.
Four things that matter most.
No AI training on your content
Your designs, captions, videos, and brand assets are never fed into AI models — ours or anyone else's. Written explicitly into our policy.
We never sell your data
We collect what we need to run the platform. We use it to improve your experience. That's it. No data brokers, no ad networks.
You're in control
Access, edit, or delete your data at any time. Close your account and we remove your personal information within 30 days.
We take compliance seriously
Full GDPR and CCPA compliance is coming soon. Regardless of your location, we don't sell your data, we don't run ads on it, and we don't train AI on your content.
There's a version of a privacy policy that protects the company.
Ours protects you.
When we built Simplified, we made a deliberate decision: the AI features in this platform would improve based on how we build them — not by harvesting what you create with them. Your social post, your caption, your video belongs to your business. We're a tool, not a landlord.
This matters more in 2026 than it ever has. Platforms are reversing policies and quietly opting users into training programs. Competitors keep adding toggles, clauses, and opt-outs that didn't exist a year ago. We don't need any of that because we never went down that road.
You're not a data point. You're the person we built this for. Treating your data with respect isn't a feature — it's the baseline.
Privacy questions, plain English answers.
No legal hedging. Real questions, real answers.
Does Simplified use my designs or content to train AI models?
No. This is written explicitly into our privacy policy: we do not use data accessed through Google Workspace APIs, or any user content, to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or machine learning models. Your designs, copy, and brand assets stay yours.
Is Simplified GDPR and CCPA compliant?
Full GDPR and CCPA compliance is coming soon — we're actively working on it. In the meantime, we already uphold the core principles those regulations are built on: we don't sell your data, we don't run ads on it, we don't train AI on your content, and we'll delete your personal information within 30 days if you ask. Contact hello@simplified.com with any questions.
What data does Simplified collect when I sign up?
Account data (name, email, password or auth token), usage data (IP address, browser type, pages visited), content data (your designs and files — stored to power your workspace, not to train AI), and payment data handled by a third-party processor.
What happens to my data if I connect my Google account?
Google user data is not transferred to third parties except to provide or improve app functionality directly. We don't use it for advertising or AI training. You can revoke access at any time via your Google account security settings.
Can I delete my account and all my data?
Yes. Request deletion via customer support or at hello@simplified.com. We process requests within 30 days. Some data may be retained only as required by law (e.g. tax records).
Is it safe to use Simplified for client work?
Yes. Client brand assets, designs, and creative materials are protected under the same policy as your own. We don't use client content to train AI or share it with third parties. For enterprise compliance needs, contact us to discuss a Data Processing Agreement.
Your content is yours. Your data is yours.

Simplified ("we," "our," or "us") operates simplified.com and related products. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. Questions? Contact Koustubha Deshpande, Co-Founder, at hello@simplified.com.
Information We Collect
We collect information when you use Simplified. The types of information depend on how you use our services.
Google and YouTube Integration
When you connect your Google account, we may access:
- Your Google profile data (name, email, profile picture)
- YouTube channel data, video metrics, and engagement statistics — only when you explicitly enable YouTube integrations
Simplified's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Explicit commitment: Simplified does not use data obtained through Google Workspace APIs or any user content to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or machine learning models.
Log Data
When you visit simplified.com or use our apps, our servers automatically record standard log data. This includes your device's IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, your time zone, how long you spend on pages, and technical details about your device and operating system.
This data is used to monitor platform health, diagnose technical issues, and understand how our service is used in aggregate. It is not used to build individual advertising profiles.
Personal Information
Personal information is information that identifies you individually — your name, email address, payment details. We collect this when you:
- Create a Simplified account
- sign up to a
- Fill out a form or contact our support team
- Sign up for product updates or newsletters
We only collect personal information with your knowledge and consent. You may choose not to provide certain information, though this may limit your ability to use some features.
Legitimate Reasons for Processing
We process your personal information when we have a legitimate reason to do so:
- Contract performance: To operate your account, process payments, and deliver the service you've paid for
- Legal compliance: To meet obligations under applicable laws (tax records, fraud prevention, court orders)
- Legitimate business interests: To improve the platform, prevent abuse, and communicate product updates — where these interests are balanced against your privacy rights
- Consent: For marketing communications and optional data uses where we've asked for and received your permission
Collection and Use of Information
We use your information to:
- Operate and maintain your account: Authentication, workspace management, billing
- Improve the platform: Usage patterns help us fix bugs and build features users actually want
- Communicate with you: Transactional emails, product updates (with consent), and support responses
- Ensure security: Fraud detection, abuse prevention, and security monitoring
- Comply with legal obligations: Responding to lawful requests when legally required
We do not use your information for:
- Selling to data brokers or advertisers
- Training AI or machine learning models
- Building advertising profiles
- Sharing with third parties for their independent marketing purposes
Security of Your Personal Information
We protect your personal information using commercially appropriate security measures — encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls limiting which team members can access your data, and regular security reviews.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If we become aware of a security breach that affects your personal data, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
How Long We Keep Your Data
- Active account data: Kept for as long as your account is active
- Usage logs: Retained for a rolling period to support security monitoring and platform improvement
- Billing records: Retained as required by financial and tax regulations
- Deleted account data: Removed within 30 days of a deletion request
When we no longer need your information, we delete it or anonymize it. We do not hold onto data "just in case."
Children's Privacy
Simplified is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, contact us immediately at hello@simplified.com and we will delete it.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
We share personal information with third parties only in limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Companies that help us operate Simplified (payment processors, cloud infrastructure, analytics). These vendors are bound by data processing agreements and cannot use your data for their own purposes.
- Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public
- Business transfers: If Simplified is acquired or merges with another company, your information may transfer as part of that transaction. We'll notify you before this happens.
- With your consent: For any sharing not described here, we'll ask first.
We do not sell personal data to third parties. Ever.
International Transfers of Personal Information
Simplified operates globally. Your personal information may be transferred to and stored in countries outside your own, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Full GDPR compliance — including formal safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses for EU/EEA data transfers — is coming soon. In the interim, your data is protected by the same core commitments that apply to all Simplified users: no selling, no AI training, and no unauthorized sharing.
