This sharing flow allows you to authorize Observ News to send the selected content to your chosen social platform account using that platform’s authorization, publishing, or sharing tools where available.

What you are agreeing to

• You are choosing to connect your account on the selected social platform for the purpose of sharing the specific Observ News content you selected.
• You understand that the authorization step takes place on the selected platform’s side and is governed by that platform’s own rules, permissions, privacy controls, and technical requirements.
• You understand that the selected platform may request approval for the permissions necessary to complete the intended share, upload, post, or publishing action.
• You confirm that the content being shared is the specific Observ News content you selected for this action.
• You understand that this flow is limited to the sharing or publishing process and is not intended to grant unrelated access to your account, personal content, or private communications.

What we do not do

• We do not ask for your social platform password directly through this sharing flow.
• We do not claim ownership of your account.
• We do not intentionally request broader account access than is reasonably necessary for the selected sharing action.
• We do not use this process to access unrelated private content beyond what is technically required to complete, secure, or verify the requested action.

What information may be processed

Depending on the technical requirements of the selected platform, we may process limited information necessary to complete and secure the sharing flow, such as:

• the selected platform,
• the selected article, video, media, or content identifier,
• the requested share or publish action,
• authorization or callback results,
• limited token, session, code, or verification data required to complete the flow,
• basic device, browser, request, and timestamp information for security, fraud prevention, diagnostics, and audit purposes,
• technical logs needed to confirm whether the action succeeded, failed, or was cancelled.

Data minimization commitment

We aim to collect, use, and retain only the minimum information reasonably necessary to authenticate the request, complete the selected sharing action, protect the system, prevent abuse, maintain service integrity, and document the result where needed.

Account and profile information

Unless technically required by the platform’s authorization process or needed for security and verification, we do not seek to store your broader personal profile information. Our goal is to retain only sharing-related records and limited technical data necessary for safe and lawful operation of the feature.

Platform-side authorization

Authorization is performed through the selected platform. That platform may return limited technical information such as an authorization code, token, identifier, account reference, or posting response, only to the extent needed to complete the requested action under that platform’s developer tools and policies.

Content integrity

The selected Observ News content is intended to remain materially consistent during the sharing or publishing process. This consent does not authorize hidden substitution, misleading replacement, or unauthorized creative modification after approval, except for technical formatting, encoding, thumbnailing, metadata attachment, or platform-required delivery adjustments necessary to complete the post.

Your control

• You may choose not to continue.
• You may decline authorization on the selected platform’s side.
• Where supported by the platform, previously granted access may later be revoked through that platform’s account or privacy controls.
• If you do not agree, do not continue with the sharing flow.

Retention

Sharing-related records and technical logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention, compliance, dispute handling, and proof of authorization or transaction integrity, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

General privacy principles

We aim to follow broadly recognized privacy principles including transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, storage limitation, and reasonable security safeguards. Specific rights and obligations may vary depending on your country, region, and the platform involved.
