Privacy Policy

Lucid Publisher is operated by Lucas Jesco Darian von Puttkamer (LLucid, sole proprietorship), Hedwigstraße 7a, 12159 Berlin, Germany. Last updated 22 October 2026.

1. Who we are

Lucid Publisher is operated by Lucas Jesco Darian von Puttkamer (LLucid, sole proprietorship), Hedwigstraße 7a, 12159 Berlin, Germany. Contact: lucas@lucid-software.de. Full legal notice: Impressum (German).

2. What data we collect and why

When you connect your TikTok account via “Log in with TikTok”, TikTok issues tokens that allow our app to act on your behalf. We store the following data on our server to provide the service:

Your TikTok nickname and avatar are loaded from TikTok each time you open the posting page and shown to you, so you can confirm the correct account is connected. We do not store them.

The TikTok scopes we request are: user.info.basic (read your basic profile), video.upload (send a video to your TikTok inbox as a draft), and video.publish (publish a video directly to your profile).

3. How we handle your video

Videos you upload are transmitted to our server in Germany (Hetzner), forwarded directly to TikTok's API, and then permanently deleted from our server. We do not retain, analyze, copy, or share your video files. Caption text and posting settings are not stored after the request is complete.

4. Server logs

When you open a page, our web server processes your IP address, the time and the requested page to deliver the page and protect it from misuse. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

5. Cookies, local storage and statistics

The app sets one session cookie (httpOnly, Secure) to recognize your connected account during your visit. This cookie does not track you across other websites and contains no third-party code.

The app itself (lucid-software.de/tiktok/app) contains no analytics or advertising tools. The information pages of this site use optional Google Analytics 4 measurement, and only after you agree in the cookie banner. Without your consent no analytics requests are sent. Your choice is stored locally in your browser as “ls_consent” and can be changed at any time under Cookie settings in the footer. Details are in the privacy notice of lucid-software.de (German).

6. What we do not do

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties, we do not use your data for advertising or marketing, and we do not store your videos or captions beyond what is needed for a single upload request.

7. Data storage and security

Tokens are stored on a server located in Germany (Hetzner). Access is restricted to the application and its operator. We use HTTPS for all data in transit.

8. How to disconnect and delete your data

You can disconnect your TikTok account at any time using the Disconnect button in the app. This immediately deletes your tokens and open_id from our server and revokes the app's access on TikTok. You can also revoke access independently in your TikTok settings under “Apps and permissions”.

9. Your rights under GDPR

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at lucas@lucid-software.de. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The current version is always available at this URL. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
