Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 3, 2026

This privacy policy covers all tools and extensions built by YouTube Producer (youtubeproducer.app), including Podcast Packager, Quote Carousel Generator, Thumbnail Generator, Channel Audit, Next Video, and the YT Carousel Frame Capture Chrome extension.

What we collect

Email address — If you sign in (via magic link), we store your email to manage your account, generation history, and subscription. Sign-in is optional for basic use.
YouTube channel data — When you use Channel Audit, Next Video, or Thumbnail Generator, we fetch public data (video titles, view counts, thumbnails, etc.) from the YouTube Data API for the channels you choose to analyze.
Transcript text — Podcast Packager and Quote Carousel accept transcript text you paste in. This is sent to our server for AI processing and is not stored after your session.
Video frames — The Chrome extension captures screenshots of the YouTube video player locally in your browser. Frames are never sent to any server.
Generation history — Results from tools (titles, quotes, audit reports, video ideas, thumbnail concepts) are saved to your account so you can revisit them.
Usage analytics — We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how our tools are used (page views, feature usage). This data is anonymous and aggregated.

What we don't collect

No passwords — authentication is via magic link (email only)
No browsing history or activity outside our tools
No data from YouTube pages you don't explicitly choose to process
No data is sold, shared with advertisers, or used for ad targeting

Third-party services

Our tools rely on the following third-party services to function:

Google Gemini AI — Primary AI provider. Transcript text, channel data, and video metadata are sent to Google's Gemini API to generate titles, quotes, recommendations, video ideas, and thumbnail concepts.
DeepSeek AI — Fallback AI provider, used when Gemini is unavailable. Receives the same data as Gemini for the same purposes.
YouTube Data API — Used to fetch public channel and video information for analysis tools.
Supabase — Hosts our database and handles authentication. Your email, generation history, and account data are stored in Supabase.
Stripe — Handles subscription payments. We never see or store your card details — Stripe processes all payment information directly.
Google Analytics — Anonymous usage analytics across our tools.

Payments

Pro subscriptions ($19/month) are processed entirely by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or billing details. Stripe may collect information as described in their privacy policy.

Chrome extension permissions

The YT Carousel Frame Capture extension requests the following permissions:

scripting — To capture video frames and extract transcripts from YouTube pages.
tabs — To open YouTube videos and monitor page loading during capture.
activeTab — To interact with the YouTube video player in the active tab.
Host permissions — To access YouTube for frame capture and the companion web app for communication.

Data retention

Transcript text is discarded after AI processing — it is not stored on our servers.
Generation history is retained as long as your account exists.
YouTube channel analysis data may be cached for up to 7 days to reduce API usage.
You can request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us.
