Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Vantage Reel Studio is operated by Vantage Strategy LLC ("Vantage Strategy", "we", "us"), a Georgia limited liability company. The app helps a brand keep a library of reference reels, clean them, make new reels with its own products, review each step, and hand the finished video to Vantage Dispatch for scheduling.

It also reads performance numbers for the brand's own Instagram reels, so the brand can see what worked.

2. Information we collect

• Account details. Sign-in is handled by Clerk. We keep the Clerk user ID of the person who owns each brand.
• Connected accounts. When you connect Instagram, we store the account's ID and username, the permissions Instagram granted, and the access token Instagram issued. The token is stored encrypted.
• Data from Instagram. We read the account's posts (caption, link, type, publish date), per-post performance numbers such as views, reach, saves and shares, and the account's follower count.
• Content you give us. Brand names and settings, product details and photos, reference reels you upload or link to, finished and in-progress videos, captions and hooks, and screenshots of Instagram insights or retention charts you upload or type in.
• Usage and technical records. Task records, status and error messages, and the cost of each generation, which we keep to run the app and fix problems.

3. How we use it

We use your information only to run the features you use. We do not sell it and we do not use it for advertising.

4. AI processing

Some steps use AI. Our desktop worker runs Claude, from Anthropic, to read and describe reference reels, draft product details from a product page, read Instagram insights screenshots and write captions and hooks. For these steps it sends the relevant frames, images, page text or screenshots, together with our instructions. Higgsfield generates the new video and images. For these steps it receives the cleaned reference clip, product images and the prompt for that generation. Each is used only to produce the result you asked for.

5. Who we share it with

• Clerk, for sign-in.
• Vercel, which hosts the web app and runs a daily job that collects Instagram numbers.
• Railway, which hosts the database.
• Cloudflare R2, which stores uploaded and generated videos and images.
• Anthropic, for the AI steps described above.
• Higgsfield, for video and image generation.
• Our desktop worker, a computer run by Vantage Strategy, which downloads and processes reels and runs the AI steps.
• Instagram (Meta), when you connect an account and we read its data.
• Vantage Dispatch, when you ask the app to send a finished reel there. We send the video, its caption and the hook you chose.

We do not share your information with anyone else.

6. Retention and deletion

We delete your data within 30 days of a verified request or of your account being closed. Backup copies age out within a further 30 days. If you disconnect Instagram, the stored token is deleted at once. To ask for deletion, email VantageStrategy@vantage-strategy-co.com or see data deletion.

Requests sent through this website

If you use the Request access or Book a meeting form on this website, we keep the name, email, business, website and message you send so we can reply to your request. We delete them on request within 30 days. Requests are stored by Vantage Strategy in its client portal and emailed to us; they are shared with no one else.

7. Security

The Instagram token is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is stored, and it is not shown in the app or written to logs. Pages and data are available only to signed-in, invited users, and each brand's data is visible only to its owner.

8. Your choices and rights

You can disconnect Instagram at any time in the app. You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion by emailing VantageStrategy@vantage-strategy-co.com.

9. Children

Vantage Reel Studio is not for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

10. Changes
