Vydeo.org

Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 13, 2026

Vydeo.org and Vydeo Clips are owned by Setayo LLC, a company in Dallas, Texas.
This policy explains how we handle information for the Vydeo website, app, API, and Chrome extension.

1. What Vydeo Does

Vydeo helps users organize video references, timestamp clips, tags, notes, teams, studios, and
reaction or research workflows. Vydeo Clips is a Chrome extension that stores timestamp-based
YouTube clips. It does not download videos, trim videos, export video files, or process video files.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use Vydeo, we may collect:

  • Account details, such as name, email address, password hash, profile settings, roles, and authentication tokens.
  • Workspace information, such as studios, teams, members, permissions, and invite relationships.
  • Content you save, such as video URLs, titles, tags, clips, timestamps, notes, descriptions, projects, and related metadata.
  • Extension data stored locally in your browser, such as YouTube URLs, titles, thumbnails, timestamps, tags, notes, projects, settings, and your Vydeo API token.
  • Limited YouTube page information needed for the extension’s user-facing clipping feature, including the current YouTube URL, video title or metadata when available, and current playback time.
  • Payment or subscription information processed through our payment provider when paid services are used.
  • Technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, server logs, error logs, and security events.
  • Messages you send us through contact, support, or account-related workflows.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide, maintain, secure, and improve Vydeo and Vydeo Clips.
  • Save and organize your clips, videos, tags, notes, workspaces, and projects.
  • Authenticate API requests and allow premium users to publish extension clips to Vydeo.
  • Associate invited collaborators with the sharer’s studio and team when a valid workspace invite is accepted.
  • Provide customer support, troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
  • Manage subscriptions, billing, and account status.

4. Chrome Extension Data

Vydeo Clips is local-first. By default, clips and notes are stored in the user’s browser through
IndexedDB/localForage. The extension sends data to Vydeo.org only when a user saves a Vydeo API
token and chooses to publish clips or create a workspace invite. Publishing sends source video
URLs, clip titles, start and end times, duration, timestamp links, and tags. The extension does
not sell data and does not use browsing activity except as needed for its visible clipping feature
on YouTube pages.

5. Sharing Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help operate hosting, security, email, analytics, support, and payments.
  • Google, YouTube, and the Chrome Web Store as needed for browser, extension, and YouTube-related functionality.
  • Stripe or other payment processors when subscriptions or payments are used.
  • Workspace collaborators when you share or publish content inside the same studio or team.
  • Authorities or other parties when required by law, to protect rights, or to prevent fraud or abuse.

6. Chrome Web Store Limited Use

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data
Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Vydeo limits use of extension data to providing
and improving the timestamp clipping, publishing, and collaboration features disclosed to users.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information.
No system is perfectly secure. Users are responsible for keeping their account credentials and API
tokens private.

8. Data Retention and Choices

Browser-local extension data remains on the user’s device until the user deletes it or clears
browser storage. Vydeo account and workspace data is retained as needed to provide the service,
meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Users may request account or
data assistance through the contact options on Vydeo.org.

9. Children’s Privacy

Vydeo is not intended for children under 13. Do not use Vydeo or Vydeo Clips if you are not old
enough to consent to these terms under applicable law.

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on Vydeo.org with
a new effective date.
