Why am I required to authorize my Twitter/Facebook accounts?

Crowdbooster respects and protects the privacy of its users. In order to analyze the social media accounts that users link to their dashboards, we request certain permissions. For Twitter accounts, we request read and write access to accounts. With this permission, Crowdbooster can access a user’s tweet timeline and send out scheduled tweets on the user’s behalf. However, under no circumstance can Crowdbooster view user’s Direct Messages or send out tweets without user consent. For Facebook Pages, we ask for two separate permissions. First, in order to link a Facebook Page, we ask for permission to view the pages a user manages and access to insights about those Pages. In addition, if a user desires to schedule posts via Crowdbooster, we ask for permission to post on the user’s behalf. Once again, Crowdbooster will never post information to a Facebook Page without user consent. For more information you may read Crowdbooster’s Privacy Policy.
