At Skip To The Point (tldw.yt), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and the CCPA/CPRA.
1. What Data We Collect
We collect the following types of data:
YouTube URLs
When you use our service, you may provide YouTube video URLs. These URLs are processed to analyze video content and generate summaries. We do not store your personal information alongside these URLs.
Analytics Data
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that no personal data or cookies are used for analytics or advertising without your explicit consent. If consent is denied, we use anonymous 'cookieless pings' to maintain basic site metrics without identifying you.
Technical Data
We automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system for security and service improvement purposes. We also use Sentry to monitor the technical health of our website. When an error occurs, Sentry captures technical information about the error and your environment to help us fix bugs and improve performance. No personal or sensitive data is collected for this purpose, and we honor your privacy choices regarding error reporting.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To provide and improve our video analysis services
- To generate accurate summaries and timestamps for YouTube videos
- To analyze usage patterns and improve user experience
- To ensure the security and stability of our platform
- To comply with legal obligations including GDPR, DMA, and CCPA
3. Cookies and Tracking
We use a minimal number of cookies to provide our service and honor your privacy choices.
By default, all non-essential cookies are disabled. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by your browser. If GPC is detected, we automatically disable all data sharing and analytics cookies. You can manage your preferences at any time via the 'Cookies' link in our footer.
We use localStorage only to remember your cookie consent choice and your theme preference.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share data only in the following circumstances:
- With service providers who assist in operating our website (e.g., Google Analytics, Sentry, Inc.)
- When required by law or to protect our rights
- With your explicit consent
5. Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. YouTube URLs and analysis results are not permanently stored unless you choose to save them.
