At Keyhole, we want users to know what data we access from social platforms in compliance with their policies, and how we provide analytics to our customers.
We only plug into paid and approved partner data sources provided by major social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, as well as millions of news outlets, blogs and forums.
These approved connections grant us the ability to legally use their information and provide in-depth filtering and analytics for our customers.
