Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how VideoCensor (the "Service", "we") collects, uses, and protects personal data. By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Policy.

1. Data We Collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the Service:

• Email address — when you register an account (registration is optional)
• Uploaded files — video and audio files submitted for processing
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, OS, pages visited (via Yandex Metrica)
• Error data — automatically collected via Sentry for diagnostics
• Cookies — technical cookies for sessions and analytics

We do not collect payment data directly — all payments are processed via YooKassa.

2. How We Use Data

Collected data is used exclusively for:

• Processing your files — transcription, profanity detection, and censoring
• Account support — authentication, processing history, settings
• Improving the Service — error analysis, performance, and user experience

3. File Processing and Third Parties

We use third-party providers for speech recognition:

• Deepgram (deepgram.com) — primary transcription provider
• AssemblyAI (assemblyai.com) — secondary provider for improved accuracy
• Yandex Metrica (metrika.yandex.ru) — web analytics

Audio data is transmitted to providers solely for transcription and is not used for model training. Each provider has its own privacy policy.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

We follow a minimal retention principle:

• Uploaded files are automatically deleted after processing (within 24 hours)
• Processed results are available for download for a limited time, then deleted
• Account data is retained until the user deletes their account

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the EU/EEA, you have the following rights under GDPR:

• Right of access — request a copy of your personal data
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to restriction — restrict the processing of your data
• Right to data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@videocensor.ru. We will respond within 30 days.

6. Cookies

We use technical cookies for authentication and sessions, as well as analytics cookies (Yandex Metrica). You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect Service functionality.

7. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data: HTTPS/TLS encryption, restricted server access, automatic file deletion. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure.

8. International Data Transfers

Transcription providers (Deepgram, AssemblyAI) may process data outside the EEA. Transfers are based on:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
• Adequacy decisions
• User consent to use the Service
