Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Account Data: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. We do not access any other data from your social account.

Usage Data: We track which product features you use (verifications, summaries, chats, and similar analysis actions) and the YouTube video IDs you analyze. This data is used to enforce plan limits, improve the service, and display your activity dashboard.

Processing Data: To generate analyses, summaries, and source-based answers, we process the YouTube transcript, web page content, or PDF text you submit, along with any related questions you ask inside the product.

Device and Security Data: When you sign in or link a device, we may store device type, browser or app metadata, and IP address to help manage active devices, improve account security, and enforce device limits.

API Tokens: Each installation generates a unique API token stored locally on your device and as a hash on our servers.

Diagnostic Data: If the mobile app or browser extension encounters an unexpected failure, we may send technical diagnostics such as error messages, stack traces, app or browser version, and device metadata to our monitoring provider so we can investigate and fix stability issues. We do not intentionally include transcript content, chat prompts, or authentication secrets in these reports.

4. Cookies and Analytics

Essential cookies: These keep you signed in, remember your language, and store your cookie choice. They are required for the site to function and are set without asking, as permitted for strictly necessary cookies.

Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are visited and how the site performs. These are only set after you accept them in the cookie banner, and we do not use them to identify you personally.

We do not use advertising cookies, and Google advertising signals stay disabled at all times. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser, which brings the banner back.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your account and usage data for as long as your account is active. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account settings. For full instructions, including how to request deletion if you cannot sign in, see our account deletion page.

6. Security

API tokens are stored as SHA-256 hashes. All communication uses HTTPS. JWT tokens expire after 30 days.
