    2. Privacy Policy

    2.1 Who we are

    The data controller for the Service is Shape Your Brand LLC, Florida, USA. You can reach our privacy team at privacy@shapeyourbrand.com.

    2.2 Information we collect

    We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. We may process the following categories:

    • Information you provide: YouTube URLs or video IDs you submit; email address if you sign up for our tips newsletter or Pro waitlist.
    • Automatically collected: IP address (may be truncated/anonymized), browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps.
    • Analytics events: Aggregated interactions such as extract clicks, download clicks, and share clicks.
    • Local device data: Download history and preferences saved in your browser's local storage — this data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or share it.

    We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

    2.3 Legal bases for processing (GDPR)

    If you are located in the EEA or UK, we rely on the following legal bases:

    • Legitimate interests — running, securing, and improving the Service and understanding aggregate usage.
    • Consent — for optional analytics/cookies where required, and for newsletter/waitlist emails.
    • Contract — providing the Service you request.
    • Legal obligation — complying with applicable laws.

    2.4 How we use information

    • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service.
    • Fetch publicly available YouTube thumbnails and metadata in response to your requests.
    • Measure aggregate usage and improve product performance and reliability.
    • Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
    • Send transactional messages and, with your consent, newsletter or Pro waitlist updates.
    • Comply with legal obligations.

    2.5 Sharing & sub-processors

    We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with vetted service providers strictly to operate the Service:

    • Google (YouTube Data API & CDN) — to retrieve public thumbnails and metadata.
    • Google Analytics 4 — aggregated site analytics.
    • SnapSello Insights — privacy-first product analytics.
    • Supabase / Lovable Cloud — hosting our backend (newsletter and waitlist signups).
    • Vercel — hosting and content delivery.

    These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).

    2.6 Data retention

    URLs you submit are processed in real time and are not persistently stored on our servers. Newsletter and Pro waitlist emails are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Aggregate analytics are retained per each provider's default retention (typically 14 months).

    2.7 Your rights

    Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, port, or object to processing of your personal information, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email privacy@shapeyourbrand.com. California residents have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights, and we do not "sell" personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

    2.8 Security

    We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures (encryption in transit via HTTPS, access controls, and vendor security review) to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

    2.9 International users

    The Service is operated from the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States and other countries where our sub-processors operate.

    2.10 Changes to this policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

    3. Cookies & Local Storage

    We use a small number of cookies and browser storage mechanisms to make the Service work and to understand aggregate usage:

    • Strictly necessary — required for core functionality (e.g. remembering your accepted terms, session integrity).
    • Preferences — local storage used to save your download history, favorites, and UI preferences on your device.
    • Analytics — Google Analytics 4 and SnapSello Insights help us measure aggregate, non-identifying usage.

    You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the Service.
