Your privacy and trust are important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the Comment Flow Chrome extension ("the Extension") handles data. We have designed our service to be as private as possible while delivering powerful analysis features.
Our guiding principle remains: We do not collect, store, or sell any of your personal data.
To provide its analysis features, the Extension requires a single piece of information:
* YouTube Video URL: When you activate the Extension on a YouTube video page, it sends the URL of that video to our secure API.
The complex analysis of YouTube comments (including sentiment analysis and summarization) requires significant processing power that cannot be handled efficiently within your local browser. Sending the URL to our server allows us to perform these intensive tasks and return the results to you quickly.
We are committed to a privacy-first approach. The Extension and our API do not collect or process any of the following:
* User Accounts: You do not need to sign up, log in, or create an account.
* Personal Information: We do not collect, store, or have access to any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, physical location, or IP address.
* YouTube Account Data: We do not access your YouTube account, your viewing history, subscriptions, or any other personal YouTube data.
* Browsing History: The Extension only activates on YouTube.com and does not track your activity on any other websites.
* Cookies or Tracking Pixels: We do not use cookies or any other user-tracking technologies.
* Advertisements: The Extension is ad-free.
The YouTube video URL is processed by our API in the following manner:
* API Request: The Extension sends the YouTube video URL to our secure API for the sole purpose of analysis.
* Server-Side Processing: Our server uses the provided URL to fetch the publicly available comments for that video directly from YouTube. It then performs the analysis and generates a summary.
* Returning Results: The analysis results are sent back to the Extension in your browser to be displayed to you.
* No Data Logging or Storage: This is our commitment to you: We do not log, store, or cache the YouTube URL or the associated comments on our servers after the analysis is complete. The entire process is ephemeral; your data is processed in real-time and immediately discarded once the results are sent back to you.
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your data with any third parties.
The only external service involved in our process is our own API, which is governed by this privacy policy. We do not transmit the URL or any other information to other third-party services.
We take data security seriously.
* All communication between the Extension and our API is encrypted using industry-standard HTTPS (TLS).
* Since we do not store any user-related data on our servers, the risk of a user data breach is eliminated.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by updating the policy within the Chrome Web Store listing. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
