Privacy Policy
We believe in full transparency. Here's exactly how StatFlare collects, uses, and protects your data.
Overview
StatFlare ('we', 'our', or 'us') is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use statflare.in, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using StatFlare you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Service.
Information We Collect
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 to provide personalised features such as saved history.
For logged-in users, we store the YouTube channel handles you have analysed so you can revisit them from your History page. Guest analyses are not stored in our database.
We track the number of analyses you run per day to enforce the daily credit limit (5 credits/day for logged-in users, 3/day for guests by IP address). Your IP address is processed transiently for rate-limiting and is not stored permanently.
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.
Our hosting providers (Vercel and Render) automatically collect standard server logs including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for security, debugging, and performance monitoring.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to deliver analytics, AI insights, search history, and all core platform features.
We track daily usage to ensure fair access to our YouTube API quota and prevent abuse.
Aggregate, anonymised usage patterns help us identify which features are most valuable and fix bugs.
We use Google AdSense to serve ads on the platform. Google may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to deliver personalised ads based on your interests and browsing history. See the Third-Party Services section for more detail.
We may process your data when required by applicable laws, court orders, or to protect the safety and rights of our users.
