Security & compliance

What PostGate actually does to secure your data

Search around and you'll find plenty of vendors in this space waving "enterprise-grade security" without saying what that means. This page does the opposite: a specific, sourced list of what PostGate has built, and an equally specific list of the formal certifications it does not currently hold. We'd rather you know exactly where PostGate stands than assume something we haven't earned. The full legal text lives in the Privacy Policy; this page is a plain-language summary of it.

What PostGate has

Real, specific security practices

Every item below is drawn directly from PostGate's Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum — quoted in plain language, not marketing copy.

Envelope-encrypted platform tokens

Every social platform credential (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and the rest) is envelope-encrypted at rest and decrypted only by the delivery workers that need it. Token values are never written to logs — not in request logs, not in error traces.

TLS in transit, everywhere

Access to the API and dashboard is protected in transit with TLS. There is no unencrypted path between your client, PostGate, and the social platforms it talks to.

Tenant isolation with row-level security

PostGate is a multi-tenant system by design, and tenant data is isolated at the database layer using row-level security — not application-level filtering alone.

GDPR- and LGPD-legal-basis processing

Data processing runs on documented legal bases — performance of contract, legitimate interest in securing and improving the service, and consent where required — under both the EU's GDPR and Brazil's LGPD. PostGate acts as processor for the content and social account data you ask it to handle, and as controller for your account, billing, and service telemetry data.

Scoped, audited access

Access to platform credentials and tenant data is scoped and audited. Audit logs are retained for as long as a workspace exists, and infrastructure subprocessors — hosting, identity, billing, email, monitoring — operate under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.

Self-serve export and deletion

Workspace owners can download a machine-readable export at any time and permanently delete an entire workspace — profiles, encrypted tokens, content, media, and logs — from Account settings. See the Data Deletion instructions for specifics, including the automated Meta data-deletion callback PostGate implements for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

What PostGate doesn't have

Said plainly, not glossed over

PostGate does not currently hold a SOC 2 (Type I or Type II) or ISO 27001 certification, and it does not currently offer a formal, contractual EU data-residency guarantee. We'd rather say that outright than let "enterprise-grade" language imply something PostGate hasn't earned — a false certification claim is exactly the kind of thing that erodes trust once discovered, and it's not one we're willing to make.

What that means in practice: PostGate's Privacy Policy states that data may be processed in regions outside your own using recognized safeguards — there is no dedicated EU-only hosting region on offer today. If a formal SOC 2 report, ISO 27001 certification, or contractual data-residency commitment is a hard requirement for your organization, PostGate is not yet the right fit — and we'd rather you know that now than after signing up.

If your team has a specific compliance question not answered here — a security questionnaire, a request for a current subprocessor list, or a DPA to review — email [email protected] and we'll answer directly rather than with a generic trust page.
