CataReel.ai turns your product reels into ready-to-post product photos and captions, and can post them to your Instagram account when you ask it to. CataReel.ai is run by Vijay Vidhi Solutions, India. This page explains what we collect, why, who else handles it, and how to delete it.

What we collect

• Your email address, to sign you in with a one-time code.
• The videos you upload, and what we make from them: frames, product photos (creatives), short clips, a transcript of the speech, product details (name, colour, price, size) and captions.
• If you connect Instagram: your Instagram professional account ID and username, your Meta business portfolio ID, and an access token from Meta. The token is stored encrypted and is never shown in your browser.
• Posts you make through CataReel.ai: which creative you posted, the caption, and the link to the post on Instagram.

What we use it for

• To find the products in your reel and make creatives, clips and captions for you.
• To post a creative to your Instagram account, only when you click "Post now". We never post on our own.
• To show your username on the page so you know which account you are posting to.

We do not read your Instagram messages or comments, we do not run ads for you, and we do not sell your data. Meta asks every app using its Instagram login to include messaging access; CataReel.ai does not use it.

Who else handles your data

• Supabase stores your account, videos and results (servers in Japan).
• Vercel runs this website.
• Google (Gemini API) and Sarvam AI receive the audio and video frames of your reel to transcribe speech, find products and write captions.
• Meta (Instagram) receives the creative and caption when you post.

Each of these handles data only to provide its service to us.

How long we keep it

• Videos and results stay in your account until you ask us to delete them.
• Instagram connection data stays until you disconnect, remove CataReel.ai from your Meta business portfolio, or ask Meta or us to delete it. When you click "Disconnect", we delete the access token at once.

Deleting your data

• Instagram data: remove CataReel.ai from your business portfolio in Meta Business Suite (Settings, then Integrations / Connected apps). Meta then tells us, and we delete your Instagram connection data and post history. You get a confirmation code and can check its status on our deletion status page.
• Everything else (your account, videos and results): email contact@mediaforging.com from the email address you sign in with. We delete it within 30 days and confirm by email.

Security

Your files are in private storage and are only shown to you through links that expire after an hour. Instagram access tokens are encrypted. Only you can see your jobs and posts.
