Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Video Verifier ("we", "us") is the data controller for the personal data described here, collected when you use videoverifier.app.

2. Data we collect

• Account data: email address, optional name, and a bcrypt hash of your password.
• Content: the video links you submit, the resulting transcripts and summaries, your chat messages, library folders and language preferences.
• Usage data: how many minutes of video you process each month, and IP addresses used for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
• Billing data: your plan and Lemon Squeezy customer and subscription IDs. We never see or store card details.

3. How we use it

• To provide the service: process videos, show your history and enforce plan limits.
• To send transactional emails (password resets). We don't send marketing email.
• To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.
• To meet legal obligations such as tax and accounting.

We don't sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models.

4. Sub-processors

We share data only with the providers needed to run the service:

• Vercel — application hosting (EU region, Frankfurt).
• Neon — PostgreSQL database.
• Anthropic — AI summaries, fact-checks and chat (transcripts and your chat messages are sent).
• Groq — speech-to-text for videos without captions (audio is sent).
• Fly.io and Cloudflare R2 — temporary audio download and storage for transcription.
• Inngest — background job processing.
• Upstash — rate limiting (keyed by account ID, email or IP address).
• Zoho ZeptoMail — transactional email such as password resets.
• Lemon Squeezy — payments and subscriptions (merchant of record).
• YouTube (Google) — the embedded video player on summary pages.

5. Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. Deleting a video from your history deletes its summary and chat. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except billing records we must keep by law.

6. Your rights (GDPR)

You can ask to access, correct, export or delete your data, or object to processing. Legal bases we rely on: contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) to provide the service, legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) for security and abuse prevention, and legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) for billing records. Contact privacy@videoverifier.app; we reply within 30 days. You may also complain to your local supervisory authority; in the Czech Republic that is the Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (uoou.gov.cz).

Some sub-processors (including Anthropic and Groq) process data in the United States. These transfers are covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard.

7. Cookies and local storage

We use only what's needed for the service: a session cookie that keeps you signed in, two preference cookies that remember your chosen site language and currency, and small browser storage entries for display preferences such as the summary language. We don't use analytics or advertising cookies. The embedded YouTube player is provided by Google and may set its own cookies when you play a video.

8. Security

All traffic uses HTTPS. Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes and password reset links are single-use and expire after one hour.

9. Changes and contact

We'll notify you of material changes by email or in the app. Questions: privacy@videoverifier.app.
