Information processed
When you submit a YouTube URL, the service extracts its public video ID and requests public thumbnail and metadata resources. The service does not ask for YouTube account access and does not receive private Studio data.
AI diagnosis
An AI diagnosis sends the selected public thumbnail URL and a fixed visual review prompt to Cloudflare Workers AI through AI Gateway. YouTube titles and public statistics are not included. Thumbnail image bytes are not stored in an upload bucket.
Retention
Analysis job records and results expire after 24 hours and can be deleted immediately from the report. HMAC-protected rate-limit records expire after 48 hours. Public YouTube metadata is cached for approximately six hours.
Security and abuse prevention
Cloudflare Turnstile verifies AI requests. An IP address is transformed using a date-scoped HMAC before rate-limit storage; the original address is not written to the application database.
Analytics
Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization to understand aggregate page use. Cloudflare provides infrastructure logs and service analytics. These systems may process technical request information under their respective policies.
Advertising
The site may use Google AdSense after approval. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies as described in their notices and applicable consent controls.
