<h2>How AI systems interact with your data</h2>
<p>
SquareMCP acts as a bridge between AI systems (such as Claude by Anthropic and ChatGPT by
OpenAI) and your connected accounts. When you authorize SquareMCP from within an AI assistant:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The AI system sends requests to SquareMCP describing what action to perform (e.g., "search notes for topic X", "post to Facebook page").</li>
<li>SquareMCP uses your stored credentials to carry out the action on your behalf.</li>
<li>Results are returned to the AI system so it can respond to you.</li>
</ul>
<p>
SquareMCP does not train AI models on your data. SquareMCP does not share your connected
platform content or credentials with AI providers — the AI system sends instructions to
SquareMCP; SquareMCP sends results back to the AI system. What the AI provider does with
those results is governed by that provider's own privacy policy (Anthropic's for Claude;
OpenAI's for ChatGPT).
</p>
</section>
<section class="legal-section">
<h2>Connected platforms and what we access</h2>
<p>When you connect a platform, SquareMCP accesses only what is needed to perform the actions you request:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Obsidian vault</strong> — note content, titles, and paths in your vault. SquareMCP can read, write, search, and append notes. Your vault is accessed via an API key you generate in your Obsidian configuration.</li>
<li><strong>Email (Gmail, Yahoo, IMAP/SMTP)</strong> — inbox messages, message content, and the ability to send email from your configured accounts. SquareMCP connects via IMAP for reading and SMTP for sending using credentials you provide. We do not store email content beyond what is needed to respond to your current request.</li>
<li><strong>Facebook Pages</strong> — your Facebook Business Page info, existing posts, and the ability to publish new posts and photos on your behalf. Access uses a Page access token you authorize via the Facebook Developer Console.</li>
<li><strong>Instagram Business</strong> — your Instagram Business account profile, media, and the ability to publish photos and reels. Access is linked to your Facebook Page authorization.</li>
<li><strong>Other platforms</strong> — LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and Slack integrations follow the same principle: SquareMCP uses only the credentials and permissions you explicitly provide and performs only the actions you request.</li>
</ul>
<p>
You can disconnect any platform at any time from app.squaremcp.com. Disconnecting removes
stored credentials for that platform.

<h2>Customer data and connected systems</h2>
<p>
SquareMCP is designed to act as a managed MCP gateway for internal tools. Depending on
