YT ClipMind ("we", "our", or "the Service") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
YT ClipMind is an AI-powered YouTube clip and note-taking tool that allows users to create video segments, write Markdown notes, collaborate through shared links, and generate AI-powered summaries.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our website, Chrome Extension, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
If you create an account (for example, to use Pro features), we may collect and process:
Many features are available without an account. Free users can use certain clip and note features without registering.
When you sign in, our systems issue login session credentials (such as access and refresh tokens). We and our authentication providers process these tokens to keep you signed in and to secure your account.
We store content you create or provide, including:
This information is stored to provide saving, syncing, sharing, and collaboration functionality.
To provide clip and note features, we may process information related to YouTube videos you work with, including:
We do not collect or store a general history of websites you visit. Processing is limited to YouTube-related data and our own pages needed to operate the Service.
When you use the YT ClipMind Chrome Extension on YouTube or on our account and player pages, the extension may:
The extension communicates with our servers only for the purposes described in this policy. It does not run unrelated tracking across non-YouTube sites.
We use collected information to:
We use information only for purposes related to the Service. We do not use your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
To support clip features and AI summarization, YT ClipMind may retrieve or process transcript and caption information from available sources, including:
Transcript and subtitle-related data may be processed or temporarily cached on our systems when necessary to provide the Service. Processing may occur when you request AI features and when subtitle URLs are detected during normal playback on YouTube, as needed to improve subtitle availability for clip and AI workflows.
YT ClipMind uses third-party AI providers to generate summaries and related content when you request AI features (Pro).
When you request an AI summary, we may process:
AI-generated output is returned to your Markdown note area and may be stored as part of your notes. AI-generated content may be inaccurate or incomplete; you should independently verify important information.
We rely on trusted service providers to operate the Service. They process information only as needed to perform services on our behalf, under contractual and legal safeguards.
Categories of providers may include:
Payment card details are handled by our payment processors. YT ClipMind does not store complete payment card numbers on our systems.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own unrelated marketing purposes. We share data with service providers only as described above and as needed to operate the Service, or when required by law.
YT ClipMind allows you to share generated video and note links. Access depends on the link type and the sharing mode you choose (for example, on Pro links):
Anyone who obtains a link may be able to access the content permitted by that link's mode and any note access controls (such as note identifiers or passphrases). Do not share links if the content is confidential unless you intend others to access it.
We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Account and note data are generally kept while your account is active or while content remains stored for shared links you maintain. We may delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed, subject to backup and legal retention requirements.
Pro users may request deletion of their account through account settings or by contacting us. When an account is deleted, we will delete or de-identify associated account information and content linked to that account, subject to legal or operational requirements (such as fraud prevention, billing records, or backups).
Notes or clips created without an account, or content already shared via standalone links, may remain accessible through those links until removed separately or until we delete them under our retention practices. Clearing extension storage or signing out removes locally stored session data on your device.
You may contact us to ask questions about your data or to request access, correction, or deletion where applicable under your local laws.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including encryption in transit for communications with our APIs. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your information may be processed and stored in countries where we or our service providers operate. By using the Service, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your country.
Our website may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies that are essential for operation, authentication, and security. The Chrome Extension uses local browser storage as described in Section 1. If we introduce additional analytics or advertising technologies in the future, we will update this policy.
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
