How we protect your privacy and handle your data

Overview

At YouTube Sentiment Analyzer, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our sentiment analysis tool.

Important: We do not store, track, or collect any personal information from our users. All data processing is done in real-time and immediately discarded.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect or store any of the following:

  • Personal information (names, email addresses, phone numbers)
  • YouTube URLs you submit for analysis
  • YouTube comments that are analyzed
  • Sentiment analysis results
  • IP addresses or device information
  • Usage patterns or analytics data
  • Cookies or tracking data

How Our Service Works

When you use our YouTube Sentiment Analyzer, here's what happens:

  1. You submit a YouTube URL: The URL is processed to extract the video ID
  2. We fetch public comments: Using YouTube's public API, we retrieve up to 100 public comments from the video
  3. Real-time analysis: Comments are sent to OpenAI's API for sentiment analysis
  4. Results are returned: Analysis results are sent back to your browser
  5. Data is discarded: All data (URL, comments, results) is immediately purged from our servers

Data Processing

Our privacy-first approach:

  • No Storage: We do not save any data to our servers or databases
  • No Tracking: We do not track user behavior or create user profiles
  • No Logs: We do not maintain logs of user activity
  • No Cookies: We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
  • Real-time Only: All processing happens in real-time and is immediately discarded

Third-Party Services

Our service uses two third-party APIs:

YouTube Data API v3

We use YouTube's public API to fetch comments from videos. This is subject to YouTube's own privacy policy and terms of service. We only access publicly available comment data.

OpenAI API

We use OpenAI's GPT-4o model for sentiment analysis. Comments are sent to OpenAI for processing and are subject to OpenAI's privacy policy. We do not store the comments or analysis results.

Since we do not collect or store any personal information, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. However, you have the right to:

  • Use our service anonymously without providing any personal information
  • Stop using our service at any time
  • Contact us with questions about our privacy practices
