4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: We may share data with third-party vendors who help us operate the Service (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing, email delivery). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
- AI and transcription services: Video and audio content may be processed by third-party AI and transcription services to generate subtitles. We select providers that adhere to appropriate data protection standards.

5. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes. Uploaded videos and generated content may be deleted after processing or after a defined retention period. We may retain anonymized or aggregated data indefinitely for analytics and improvement purposes.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and secure development practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
