Your Data.
Your Call.

The Short Version

To run an audit, you give us details about how you produce your channel and a sample of your scripts. We send that to our AI analysis provider to generate your score. We don't require an account for a free audit, we don't sell your data, and payments are handled by Stripe — we never see your card.

What We Collect

• Audit inputs — the channel details you select (niche, tools, frequency, monetization status, etc.) and any script text you paste.
• Local usage data — your free-audit count and plan are stored in your own browser (localStorage), not in a database tied to your identity.
• Access code & plan — if you purchase a plan, the access code and selected plan are stored in your browser to unlock features.
• Payment details — processed entirely by Stripe. We receive confirmation of the purchase and plan, never your card number.

We do not connect to your YouTube account, read your YouTube analytics, or require YouTube login.

How Your Input Is Used

When you run an audit, your inputs are sent to our AI analysis provider (Anthropic) for the sole purpose of generating your risk score, flags, and fix suggestions. We do not use your scripts to train models or build profiles of your channel.

If you use the report export feature, the report is generated in your browser and downloaded to your device — it is not stored on our servers.

What We Don't Do

• Sell or rent your data to third parties.
• Use your content for advertising.
• Store your pasted scripts beyond what's needed to render your audit in the current session.
• Share your individual inputs with other users.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your audit count and unlocked plan so the tool works without an account. This data lives on your device; clearing your browser data removes it.

Your Rights

You can request access to or deletion of any personal data we hold by contacting us. Because free audits are not tied to an account, most data lives only in your browser and is cleared by resetting site data. For paid accounts, contact us and we'll delete your records within 30 days.
