Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 14, 2024

Welcome to CommentCompass! We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you use our service and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Information Collection and Use

We collect several types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our service to you, specifically:

- Usage Data: We collect information on how the service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include details such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), browser type, browser version, our service pages that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.

- Tracking & Cookies Data: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. We use cookies for various purposes, including analytics, site personalization, and ads. You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service. For more information about how to manage and delete cookies, visit the privacy settings of your web browser.

- YouTube API Data and Storage: In our efforts to provide a personalized and enhanced user experience, our service collects information directly submitted by users, such as YouTube channel identifiers. Upon submission, we access, collect, and store data related to the submitted channel identifier(s), which includes, but is not limited to, channel metadata (e.g., channel name, thumbnail URL), publicly uploaded video metadata (e.g., video titles, thumbnail URLs), published comments, replies, and other pertinent metadata to enrich our service's functionality. This collection helps us tailor content and functionalities to better serve our users' interests and enhance their overall experience on our platform. It is important to note that if you submit your own channel identifier, we consider the information related to your channel as "user information," which we access, collect, and store with the utmost care.

The information we access, collect, and store is used to provide and improve our service. We store this data securely and only for as long as necessary to provide our services or as required for legal compliance or operational integrity. Our collection, use, and storage of YouTube API data adhere to YouTube's Terms of Service, Google's Privacy Policy, and this Privacy Policy.

As our service evolves, we may also collect additional types of information for new features and functionalities. Should we start requiring personal data from our users, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly and inform you of the changes.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

- To comply with legal obligations
- To protect and defend our rights or property
- To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the service
- Or as part of a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale

We will always seek to ensure that any third party respects your privacy rights and handles your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.

YouTube API Services

Our service uses the YouTube API Services, and by using our service, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our service.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
