1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Spectatr.ai Studio ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our AI-powered video post-production platform ("the Service").

Spectatr.ai Studio acts as the data controller for the personal information collected through the Service. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account Data

When you sign in with Google OAuth, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture. This information is used to create and manage your account.

AI Analysis Data

When your media is processed, we generate and store AI-derived data including transcripts, topic segments, AI-generated thumbnails, captions, and post drafts.

Social Media Connections

If you connect social media accounts (such as YouTube or Instagram), we store encrypted OAuth tokens to enable publishing on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM.

All payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card numbers or full payment details. We retain Stripe customer IDs and transaction records for billing purposes.

4. AI Processing and Third-Party AI Services

Amazon Transcribe — speech-to-text transcription. Audio is processed through AWS.

These services process your content solely for the purpose of providing analysis results to you. We do not use your content for training AI models.

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the following categories of service providers, as necessary to operate the Service:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) — cloud infrastructure, storage (S3), transcription, and message queues

We may also disclose information when required by law, to enforce our Terms of Service, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Spectatr.ai Studio, our users, or the public.

6. Data Storage and Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

Media files are stored in Amazon S3 with server-side encryption
Social media OAuth tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM before storage
All data in transit is protected using TLS encryption
Database access is restricted and monitored
We regularly review and update our security practices

While we strive to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
