Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to VidQuill ("we", "us", or "our"). VidQuill is a free web-based platform available at vidquill.com that provides AI-assisted tools to help YouTube creators optimise their video metadata, including titles, descriptions, and tags.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit or use VidQuill, how we use that information, and the rights and choices you have. By using VidQuill, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

VidQuill does not require you to create an account. However, when you use our tools, you may voluntarily provide:

• Video topic or idea text — the input you enter into our generation tools. This is processed in real time to produce results and is not stored on our servers after generation is complete.
• Optional social media links — URLs you choose to include when customising a generated description. These are used only to format your output and are not retained.
• Contact information — if you contact us via our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

2.2 Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit VidQuill, we automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address — used solely to enforce fair daily usage limits and prevent abuse. IP addresses are not used to identify you personally, are not sold, and are not shared with third parties except as described in this policy.
• Browser and device information — such as browser type, operating system, screen size, and referring URL, collected via analytics services in aggregated and anonymised form.
• Usage data — anonymous counts of tool interactions used to understand how the Service is used and to improve it.
• Cookies and similar technologies — please see our Cookie Policy for full details.

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not collect your name, email, or contact details unless you reach out to us directly.
• We do not collect payment information. VidQuill is entirely free to use.
• We do not build individual user profiles or link activity across sessions.
• We do not collect sensitive personal data such as health information, financial data, or government identification.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:

• To provide the Service — processing your inputs to generate YouTube metadata results.
• To enforce usage limits — applying daily per-tool limits to keep the Service free and fair for all users.
• To improve the Service — analysing aggregated, anonymous usage patterns to fix bugs and develop new features.
• To respond to enquiries — replying to messages submitted through our Contact page.
• To display advertising — serving ads through our advertising partners (see Section 4) to fund the free Service.
• To comply with the law — meeting legal obligations where required.

We do not use your data for direct marketing, behavioural profiling, or the sale of personal information to third parties.

4. Third-Party Services

VidQuill uses trusted third-party services to operate. Each has its own privacy policy:

Your input text is transmitted to an AI processing service to generate results. We recommend not entering personally identifiable information into the tool inputs.

5. Advertising

VidQuill is a free service supported by advertising. Our advertising partner, Google AdSense, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your interests and browsing behaviour across the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time:

• Google: adssettings.google.com
• Network Advertising Initiative: networkadvertising.org/choices

6. Data Retention

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (EU/UK users)
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (California residents under CCPA)

Because VidQuill collects minimal personal data and does not maintain user accounts, most of these rights can be exercised simply by stopping use of the Service. For any specific requests, contact us at privacy@vidquill.com.

8. Children's Privacy

VidQuill is not directed at children under the age of 13, or under 16 in the European Union. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit and restricted access to our systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Transfers

VidQuill is operated from and our servers are located in jurisdictions that may differ from your own. By using VidQuill, you consent to your information being processed in these jurisdictions. Where required by law (e.g. EU GDPR), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of VidQuill after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
