This policy explains what information joeyhbuilds ("we", "us") collects when you interact with us
on Instagram or subscribe to our newsletter, how we use it, and the choices you have. joeyhbuilds is a
personal project publishing content about AI automation and agents. Questions? Email
support@joeyhbuilds.com.
When you message or comment and receive an automatic reply from us on Instagram, you
are interacting with an automated assistant, not a live person in that moment. You can
stop at any time by not replying, or by messaging stop.
Personal finance application
joeyhbuilds also operates a private, single-user self-hosted finance
application, used by Joey Hinojosa for his own bank accounts only. With his own explicit consent under
PSD2, it reads transactions and balances from his accounts into software running on his own hardware.
It is not a service offered to anyone else, there is no sign-up, and it processes no other person's
financial data. Bank data is never shared, sold, or sent to third parties, and no credentials are
stored by it.
Information we collect
Instagram interactions. When you comment on our posts or send us a direct
message, we receive your Instagram username and user ID and the content of the comment or message you
send us. We use this only to respond to you and to send a resource you asked for.
Email address. If you choose to join our free newsletter, we collect the email
address you provide so we can send it to you.
We do not collect your Instagram password, payment details, or your list of
followers, and we do not scrape data from Instagram.
How we use your information
To reply to your comments and messages and send you the guide or resource you requested.
To add you to our free newsletter only if you ask us to, and to send those emails.
To improve the content and resources we offer.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising to you.
Service providers we use
We share the minimum necessary information with trusted services that help us operate:
Meta / Instagram — the platform your messages and comments come through.
Beehiiv — our newsletter and email provider (stores your email if you subscribe).
Anthropic (Claude) — generates the text of automated replies from the content of
your message. Message content is processed to produce a reply and is not used to train models.
n8n — self-hosted automation software that runs the workflow connecting the above.
How long we keep it
We keep the information for as long as needed to provide these services. You can ask us to delete it
at any time (see below). Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.
Your choices and rights
Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in every email.
Access or delete the information we hold about you — email
support@joeyhbuilds.com and we'll take care of it.
Stop the Instagram automation by not replying, or by messaging stop.
Children
This project is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
This policy describes our actual data practices in plain
language. It isn't legal advice; if joeyhbuilds grows into a formal business, consider having it reviewed
by a professional.
