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.
