Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), to collect and analyze information about Site usage.

Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Straico API and Video Idea Generator

Our Video Idea Generator tool uses the Straico API, a third-party artificial intelligence service, to generate video content ideas based on your input.

Data Processing

• When you submit text to the Video Idea Generator, your input is sent to our server and then forwarded to the Straico API for processing
• We do not store your submitted text or the generated results on our servers
• Your IP address is temporarily stored in memory for rate limiting purposes (maximum 10 requests per hour) and is not persisted to disk
• Straico may process and store your input according to their own privacy policy

Rate Limiting

To prevent abuse and ensure fair access to our free tool, we implement rate limiting that restricts each IP address to 10 requests per hour. This information is stored temporarily in server memory and is automatically cleared after one hour.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our Site contains links to third-party websites and services, including affiliate links to the products and services we review. When you click on these links, you will be redirected to third-party websites that have their own privacy policies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Third-Party Services We Use

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
