1. The Poosting Service
Our mission at Poosting is to strengthen connections with the people and interests you value. To do this, we are committed to offering the Poosting Service, which includes all the products, features, applications, technologies, and software we develop.
The Service includes the following aspects:
- Opportunities for personalization, connection, and creation: We recognize that every person is unique. That’s why we provide various features to help you create, share, expand your presence, and communicate both inside and outside of Poosting. Our goal is to strengthen your connections through meaningful experiences. To achieve this, we use systems that seek to understand your interests and those of others, to help you create, find, and participate in relevant experiences. Part of our work is to suggest content, features, offers, and accounts that may be of interest to you, providing a unique experience based on your activities on and off the platform.
- Promotion of a safe and positive environment: We create and use tools and resources to ensure our community members’ experiences are positive and inclusive, offering support when needed. Our teams and systems work actively to combat abuse, violations of our Terms and policies, as well as deceptive or harmful conduct. We use all available information, including yours, to maintain the platform’s security. We may also share data about misuse or harmful content with other companies within the Poosting group or with the authorities. For more details, consult our Privacy Policy.
- Development of technologies for community growth: The organization and analysis of data are fundamental to our Service. That’s why we invest in cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, which allow us to personalize, protect, and enhance the Service on an incredibly large, global scale. Automated technologies also ensure the functionality and integrity of the platform. To learn more about how we use these technologies, consult the Privacy Policy.
- Integration with other products from Poosting Rede Social Ltda.: Poosting is part of the Poosting Rede Social Ltda. group. We share technology, systems, and information, including yours (as detailed in the Privacy Policy), to offer more effective and secure services. Additionally, we facilitate interaction between the different Poosting Rede Social Ltda. products, creating a unified and continuous experience, depending on your choices.
- Ensuring global access to the Service: To operate our Service worldwide, we need to store and transfer data between our systems in different locations, including outside your country of residence. The use of this global infrastructure, which may be owned or operated by Poosting Rede Social Ltda., is essential for providing our Service. Information on how your data is transferred, stored, and processed can be found in our Privacy Policy.
- Connecting you with relevant brands and products: We use data from Poosting, other Poosting Rede Social Ltda. products, and our partners to display ads, offers, and sponsored content that we believe are of interest to you. Our goal is for this content to be as relevant as the rest of your experience on Poosting.
- Research and innovation: The information we collect is used to study and improve our Service, as well as to collaborate with third parties on research. This allows us to continue innovating and contributing to the well-being of our community.
2. How the Service is Funded
Instead of charging for the use of Poosting, you agree that we may display ads from companies and organizations that pay us to promote their products and services. We use your personal data, such as information about your activities and interests, to show you more relevant ads.
We display useful and personalized ads without revealing your identity to advertisers. We do not sell your personal data. Advertisers inform us about the type of audience they want to reach, and we show the ads to people who may be interested in them.
We also provide performance reports to advertisers so they can understand how people interact with their content. These reports include demographic data and general interest information, but not data that can directly identify you, such as your name or email, unless you give us explicit permission. For more details on how ads work on Poosting, click here.
You may also see content on Poosting from accounts that promote products or services in a commercial partnership with the brands mentioned. To learn more about this, click here.

However, to operate the Service, you grant us a global, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, use, distribute, modify, publicly display, translate, and create derivative works from your content (consistent with your privacy and app settings).

Just like with other interactions, these actions are only visible to those who have permission to view or follow the content.
- Service updates: You agree that we may download and install Service updates on your device.
5. Additional Poosting Rights
- We may change your username or similar identifier if we deem it appropriate or necessary, for example, if it infringes on someone else’s intellectual property.
- If you use our copyrighted content (such as images, designs, or videos that we provide), we will retain all rights to our material (but not to yours).
- You may only use our intellectual property, trademarks, or similar marks as expressly authorized by our Brand Guidelines or with our prior written permission.
- It is forbidden to modify, create derivative works from, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract our source code without our written permission or an open-source license.
6. Content Removal and Account Termination
We may remove any content or information you share if we believe it violates these Terms of Service or our policies (including the Community Standards), or if required by law. We work with independent fact-checkers to combat misinformation and may add warnings to content classified as false.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service (including Poosting and Poosting Rede Social Ltda. products) if you violate these Terms or policies, create a legal risk for us, repeatedly infringe on others’ intellectual property rights, or if we are legally obligated to do so. If you believe your account was terminated by mistake, or if you wish to deactivate or permanently delete it, access our Help Center.
When you request to delete content or an account, the removal process begins within 30 days. The complete deletion of the content may take up to 90 days, and it will not be visible to other users during this period. After deletion, it may take another 90 days to remove the content from our backup systems.
Deletion may be delayed in certain circumstances:
- If the content has been used by others in accordance with the license and they have not removed it (the license will continue to apply).
- If deletion cannot be completed within 90 days due to technical limitations. In this case, removal will be done as soon as technically possible.
- If retention is necessary to:
- Investigate illegal activities or violations of our terms and policies.
- Protect our products, systems, and users.
- Comply with legal obligations, such as preserving evidence.
- Respond to a request from a judicial or administrative authority. In these situations, the content will be retained only for the time strictly necessary for these purposes.
If your account is deleted or disabled, or if this agreement is otherwise terminated, the sections on “Your Commitments” and “Our Agreement and What Will Happen if We Disagree” will remain in effect.
7. Our Agreement and Dispute Resolution
7.1. Our Agreement: Your use of music in the Service is also subject to the Spotify API Guidelines. The use of other features or services may include additional terms. In case of conflict, these additional terms will prevail. If any part of this agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in effect. Any changes or waivers to this agreement must be in writing and signed by us. Our failure to enforce any part of this agreement will not be considered a waiver. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
7.2. Third-party rights: This agreement does not grant rights to any third parties. You may not transfer your rights or obligations without our consent. Our rights and obligations may be assigned to others, for example, in the case of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
7.3. Limitation of Liability: Our Service is provided “as is,” without guarantees that it will be flawless or secure at all times. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We also do not control the actions or content of third parties and are not responsible for their conduct, online or offline, or for any content (including objectionable or illegal material). Our liability for any issue with the Service will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss of profits, revenue, information, or data, or for incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or indirect damages arising from or related to these Terms, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7.4. Dispute Resolution: If you are a consumer, the laws of your country of residence will apply to any claim against us, and you may resolve the dispute in a competent court in your country. In all other cases, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the District Court of Brazil for the State of Ceará in Fortaleza, and that the laws of the state of Ceará will govern these Terms, regardless of conflict-of-law provisions. However, Poosting Rede Social Ltda. may, at its discretion, bring actions against you in any competent court in your country of residence if the claim is related to attempts to abuse, interfere with, or use our products in unauthorized ways.
7.5. Unsolicited Material: Your suggestions are always welcome, but we may use them without restriction or obligation to compensate you, and we have no duty to keep them confidential.
8. Updates to These Terms
We may change our Service and our policies, and we may need to modify these Terms to reflect those changes. Except where required by law, you will be notified (for example, through our Service) before the changes take effect and will have the opportunity to review them. By continuing to use the Service, you will be agreeing to the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes or wish to terminate the agreement, you may do so by deleting your account and no longer using the Poosting Service.
