Privacy Policy

YouDark ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website youdark.com and provides AI-powered cinematic video generation services (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

By using YouDark, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name through our authentication provider (Supabase Auth). If you sign in via Google OAuth, we receive your name, email, and profile picture from Google.

2.2 YouTube Data

If you connect your YouTube channel through our YouTube Publisher add-on, we request access to:

• youtube.upload — to upload videos on your behalf
• youtube.readonly — to display your channel name and avatar

We store your YouTube OAuth tokens (access token and refresh token) securely in our database. These tokens are only used to publish videos you explicitly choose to upload. We never access your YouTube data without your direct action.

2.3 Generated Content

We temporarily store scripts, images, audio, and videos generated through our Service to enable rendering and delivery. Rendered videos are stored on our servers for download and optional YouTube publishing.

2.4 Usage Data

We collect anonymized usage data such as pages visited, features used, render counts, and error logs to improve our Service. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.

2.5 Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or banking details. Stripe handles all payment information in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
• Process your video renders and deliver generated content
• Publish videos to YouTube when you explicitly request it
• Process payments and manage subscriptions via Stripe
• Send transactional emails (account verification, password reset)
• Monitor and improve Service performance and reliability
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with:

• Supabase — authentication and database hosting
• Google/YouTube API — only when you use the YouTube Publisher feature
• Stripe — payment processing
• Google Gemini API — AI script and content generation (no personal data is sent)
• Railway / Vercel — infrastructure hosting

YouDark's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

You can revoke YouDark's access to your YouTube account at any time through your Google Account permissions page or by disconnecting your channel in the YouDark dashboard.

• Account data — retained until you delete your account
• Rendered videos — stored for 30 days after creation, then automatically deleted
• YouTube tokens — deleted when you disconnect your channel or delete your account
• Usage logs — retained for up to 90 days for debugging purposes

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), encrypted database storage, and secure token management. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Revoke YouTube access at any time
• Export your generated content before account deletion

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@youdark.com.

Our Service is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
