Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 11, 2025

Overview

StatFlare ('we', 'our', or 'us') respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using StatFlare you agree to this policy.

Information We Collect

  • Account information: When you sign in with Google or GitHub via Supabase Auth, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. We store this in your StatFlare profile.
  • Search history: For logged-in users, we store the YouTube channel handles you have analyzed so you can revisit them from your History page. Guest analyses are not stored in our database.
  • Usage data: We track the number of analyses you run per day in order to enforce the daily credit limit (5 credits/day for logged-in users, 3/day for guests by IP).
  • YouTube data: We fetch publicly available data from the YouTube Data API v3 on your behalf. We do not store full channel data permanently — it is fetched fresh each time you run an analysis.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide the service: We use your information to deliver analytics, AI insights, and history features.
  • To enforce rate limits: We track daily usage to ensure fair access to the YouTube API quota.
  • To improve StatFlare: Aggregate, anonymized usage patterns help us identify which features are most valuable.

Third-Party Services

  • Supabase: Our database and authentication provider. Your account data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL). See supabase.com/privacy.
  • YouTube Data API v3: We use Google's YouTube Data API to fetch public channel statistics. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Anthropic (Claude API): Channel data is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate AI insights. No personally identifiable information is included in these requests.
  • Google AdSense: We display ads via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve personalized ads. You can opt out at adssettings.google.com.
  • Vercel / Render: Our frontend is hosted on Vercel and backend on Render. Standard server logs (IP address, request path, timestamp) are collected by these platforms.

Cookies

We use cookies to maintain your authentication session. Google AdSense may set additional cookies for advertising purposes. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Data Retention

We retain your account information and search history for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data is permanently removed within 30 days.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@statflare.in. We will respond within 30 days.
