Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 June 2026
Izzy is a comment-moderation tool for a Facebook Page. It reads comments on the Page, classifies them for harassment and abuse, hides those it judges abusive, and posts a notice that the Page is moderated. This policy explains what data Izzy handles and why.
What we collect
When a comment is left on the moderated Page, Izzy stores:
- the text of the comment;
- the name of the commenter as provided by Facebook (often unavailable and recorded as “unknown”);
- Facebook’s comment and post identifiers;
- the classification result — whether it was judged abusive, a confidence score, a short reason, and whether it was hidden;
- timestamps of when the comment was processed.
Izzy does not collect data about people who merely view the Page, and it has no advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies. The only login is a single private dashboard for the Page owner.
How we use it
- To detect and hide abusive or harassing comments on the Page.
- To avoid re-processing the same comment twice.
- To show the Page owner a record of what was hidden, so mistakes can be reviewed and reversed.
- To improve classification accuracy over time.
Who we share it with
Izzy relies on two third-party services:
- Meta (Facebook) Graph API — to read comments and to hide or post comments on the Page.
- OpenAI — comment text (and, for context, the text of the post it replies to) is sent to OpenAI’s API to classify whether it is abusive. Per OpenAI’s API data-usage policy, data submitted through the API is not used to train their models.
We do not sell data, and we do not share it with anyone else.
Our basis for this
We process this data on the basis of legitimate interest — protecting the Page and the people who engage with it from harassment and abuse, which is the sole purpose of the tool.
How long we keep it
Classification records are retained so that comments aren’t re-processed and so the moderation history stays reviewable. You can request deletion at any time — see below. When we action a deletion we keep only the comment’s Facebook identifier — not its text or the commenter’s name — so that the same comment isn’t silently re-collected the next time Izzy reads the Page.
Your choices
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of data Izzy holds about your comments. See the Data Deletion page for how. Hiding a comment on Facebook does not delete anyone’s content on Facebook itself — it only changes its visibility, and the comment’s author can still see it.
