We collect the following types of information:

  • Account information: your name, email address, and profile data provided when you sign up via Clerk.
  • Usage data: number of summaries used, subscription plan, and usage timestamps stored in your account metadata.
  • Payment information: billing details are processed and stored securely by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
  • YouTube URLs and summaries: URLs you submit are used to fetch publicly available captions and generate summaries. For signed-in users, the URL, video title, and generated summary content are saved to your brief history and retained until you delete them or close your account.

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain the Service
  • Process payments and manage your subscription
