Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to information we process when you visit our website, join the waitlist, create an account, or use Reddit Studio (the “Service”), a personal project operated by Ruben Meyburgh (github.com/MisticBadboy). It describes our practices as the controller of that information. It does not cover third-party platforms you connect or publish to, which have their own privacy policies.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Contact details — your email address when you join the waitlist or create an account.
• Account information — profile details and preferences you set.
• Content — the source material you select and the scripts, voiceovers, captions, and videos you generate.
• Communications — messages you send us, such as support requests.
• Payment information — if you subscribe, billing details are collected and processed by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data — actions taken in the Service, features used, and quota consumption.
• Device and log data — IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and timestamps.
• Cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy.

Information from connected accounts

• OAuth tokens and profile data — when you connect a platform such as YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram, we receive access tokens and limited profile/channel information needed to publish content on your behalf and show your connected accounts.

3. How we use information

• to provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
• to create and manage your account and process the actions you request (such as publishing a video);
• to communicate with you about the waitlist, updates, security, and support;
• to process payments and manage subscriptions;
• to monitor usage, prevent abuse, and secure the Service; and
• to comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Legal bases (EEA/UK)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on the bases of performance of a contract (to provide the Service), our legitimate interests (to secure and improve the Service), your consent (for example, certain cookies or marketing), and compliance with legal obligations.

5. Google / YouTube API services

Reddit Studio’s use of information received from Google APIs, including the YouTube Data API, adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We only access, use, and store Google user data to provide and improve user-facing features you request (such as uploading videos to your channel), we do not transfer or sell it for advertising or other unrelated purposes, and we do not allow humans to read it except with your consent, for security, or as required by law. YouTube features are additionally governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You can revoke our access at any time via your Google security settings.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as follows:

• Service providers — hosting, database, email, and analytics vendors who process data on our behalf under contract (for example, our cloud hosting and database providers).
• Platforms you connect — when you publish content, we send it and the necessary metadata to the platform you chose.
• Legal and safety — where required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users and the public.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business or legal purposes. Waitlist emails are kept until you ask us to remove them or the waitlist is retired. You can request deletion of your account data as described below.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encryption in transit and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR/UK GDPR, South Africa’s POPIA, and the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

10. International transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, where required by law.

11. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, communicated to you.
