The short version

TelePost calls you, records the call, and turns what you said into drafts you approve before anything is published. To do that it holds your contact details, your professional profile, the recordings and transcripts, and access tokens for the accounts you choose to connect. It does not sell anything to anyone, and it does not use your recordings to train AI models.

What is collected

Data	Why
Account — email address, name, and either a password hash or a Google/LinkedIn account identifier	To sign you in and to know which data is yours
Profile — job title, employer, background, areas of expertise, tone preferences, topics to avoid	So the interview asks questions only you could answer
Phone number	To place the interview call. Encrypted at rest.
Call recordings and transcripts	They are the raw material for the article
Access tokens for services you connect (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, email)	To sign you in and fill in your profile. Not used to post anything — TelePost never shares on your behalf. Encrypted at rest.
Articles, captions, and image prompts	They are the product
Activity log — sign-ins, credential changes, approvals, with IP address and timestamp	Security. So you and we can see who did what.
Usage counts — how many AI requests your account made and roughly what they cost	Operating the service. No content is kept in these records.

A LinkedIn profile PDF you upload is read in memory and discarded immediately. Only the fields you review and save are kept.

Asking for a demo, specifically

If you fill in the form asking TelePost to call you about an article, what you typed is kept as an inquiry — your name, email address and phone number, which article you were reading and which site it was on, and what your browser said about how you got there.

That includes the times it does not work. If the call cannot be placed — because the number is outside the countries TelePost dials on a free trial, or the form was used too many times in an hour — the attempt is still recorded, along with the reason. It is kept so somebody can see that a real person tried and was turned away, and so we can get back to you about it. It is not sold, and it is not shared with anybody outside the company.

Ask and it is deleted, the same as anything else here.

Who else sees it

Only the services needed to do the work, and only the part each one needs:

• Anthropic — receives your profile, the news story, and your transcript, to write questions and drafts. Anthropic does not train models on API data.
• The calling provider (currently Vapi) — receives your phone number and the interview script, and produces the recording and transcript.
• The messaging provider (currently sent.dm) — receives your phone number and the text of the message, so that it can be delivered by the mobile networks. It is not given your recordings, your transcripts, or your profile.
• Services you connect — LinkedIn or Google confirm who you are when you sign in. TelePost sends them nothing else, and posts nothing to them. When you share an article, you are the one posting it, from that service's own page.
• News publishers — TelePost fetches their public feeds. They learn nothing about you.

Nothing is sold or rented, and nothing you say on a call, write in an article, or store in your profile is shared for advertising.

This site does use Google Analytics. It is the one third-party script here, and it is worth being exact about what it is given. It sees which page was loaded, roughly where in the world the request came from, and what browser and device it was made with. It sets cookies in your browser to recognise a return visit. We use it for one thing: working out which pages people actually read.

What it is not given: your name, your email address, your phone number, your recordings, your transcripts, or anything you have written. TelePost reports the page’s path only and deliberately strips the query string, so codes and tokens that travel in a link never reach it. Any browser setting, extension, or “Do Not Track” preference that blocks analytics works here; nothing on this site depends on it loading.

Recorded calls, specifically

Every call announces that it is being recorded before any question is asked, and you can end it there. If you bring another person onto a call, you are responsible for their consent — some places require everyone on the line to agree.

Text messages, specifically

TelePost sends SMS to a number given to us by the person it belongs to — typed into one of our forms by them, with a box ticked next to it agreeing to be called or texted — and, in newsroom use, to a source whom an identified reporter has asked us to contact for comment on a named story. Nothing is sent to a purchased list, and there is no bulk send: every message goes to one person and asks for an answer.

Message frequency varies and is typically one to three messages per request. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to stop all messages, or HELP for help. A request nobody answers expires; there is no follow-up and no second attempt.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Phone numbers and consent are shared only with the messaging and calling providers named above, and only so the message can be delivered or the call placed.

An opt-out is permanent and applies across the whole platform, not only to the account that sent the message — one STOP stops everyone here from contacting that number again. Help with text messages: hello@telepost.ai. The program is described in full at /sms.

What is published

Articles you approve are hosted at a public address (/u/your-name/) and offered as public RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds so you can pull them into your own site. That is the point of the product, but it is worth stating plainly: approved articles are public. Drafts, recordings, transcripts, and your profile are not, and are never included in a feed.

How long it is kept

While your subscription is live: until you delete it. Recordings and transcripts stay with the interview that produced them; delete the interview and they go. Delete your account and everything tied to it is removed.

After a subscription ends: 90 days, and then everything is deleted automatically. Published articles stay live for that whole period so your readers are not cut off; after it, the articles, drafts, recordings, transcripts, contacts and the account itself are gone and cannot be recovered. You are emailed three warnings first, and subscribing again stops it.

Two things survive, neither of which identifies you. Entries in the security log are retained — because a log you can quietly erase is not a log — with the account removed from them. Records of what the platform spent on AI are kept the same way. Anything committed to your own website repository is on your GitHub rather than ours, and is yours to delete.

How it is protected

Credentials and your phone number are encrypted before they are stored, each account under its own key, so a bug that confuses one account for another cannot read the wrong one. Passwords are hashed with Argon2id and are never recoverable. The site is HTTPS only.

Be aware of the scale of this. TelePost is early-access software running on a single server operated by one person. It is not backed by a security team or a certification. Connect accounts with narrowly scoped permissions where the service offers them, and do not put anything here you could not stand to lose.

Your choices

• Disconnect any connected account at any time under Connections.
• Edit or clear any profile field, including your phone number.
• Ask for a copy of your data, or ask for it to be deleted, by emailing the address below. Deletion is honoured; it is not a negotiation.

Children

TelePost is for working professionals and is not directed at anyone under 18.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected or who it is shared with, account holders will be told directly rather than through a silent edit and a new date at the top.
