Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how TubeMake ("we", "us") handles information in connection with the Comment Miner for YouTube browser extension (the "Extension") and the website tubemake.com. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to provide the features you choose to use.

1. Information we collect

• Email address — only when you choose to unlock the free AI "Generate Video Ideas" feature. We use it to identify your free account and apply fair usage limits.
• YouTube comment text — only when you click "Generate Video Ideas", the public comment text of the video you selected is sent to our server to produce video ideas. We do not store the comment text after the analysis is returned.
• Local settings — your preferences (fetch limit, selected columns, include replies) and an access token are stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local). The token is only sent to our server to authenticate your AI requests.

2. Information we do NOT collect

We do not collect your browsing history, keystrokes, passwords, financial information, health information, precise location, or the content of other websites. The Extension only runs on YouTube video pages.

3. How we use information

• To provide the AI idea-generation feature you request.
• To apply free daily usage limits and prevent abuse of the service.
• To occasionally send you product updates about TubeMake (you can opt out anytime).

4. Third-party processing

To generate video ideas, comment text is processed by our AI provider, DeepSeek, acting as our processor. We do not sell or rent your data to any third party, and we do not use your data for advertising.

5. Data retention

Your email and usage counters are kept until you ask us to delete them. Comment text sent for analysis is processed transiently and not retained after the result is returned.

6. Your choices & rights

• You can use the CSV export and on-page search features without providing an email.
• You can remove locally stored data at any time by removing the Extension.
• You can request access to, or deletion of, your email and associated data by contacting us (see below).

7. Children

The Extension is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
