Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 18, 2024

MyCustomAI ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and handle data through our services, including our Chrome extension, YouTube Multi-Language Realtime Audio. By using our services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

The extension stores some data locally in your browser to provide its functionality. No data is transmitted to our servers, and we do not collect or store personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive data outside your local environment.

Data Stored Locally

• Video Transcripts: Transcripts of YouTube videos are saved in the local browser storage to facilitate real-time translations. This data remains on your device and is not encrypted.
• User Preferences: Settings such as target language, translation mode (local or cloud-based), and other configuration options are stored in the local browser storage.

Note: Since the data stored locally is not encrypted, users should ensure their browser and device are secure to protect stored information.

Data Transmitted to Third Parties

When cloud-based processing is enabled, limited data may be transmitted securely to third-party services:

• Groq: For real-time translation.
• Eleven Labs: For text-to-speech synthesis.
• Hugging Face: For downloading pre-trained language models.

These transmissions are limited to the functionality required for providing translations and text-to-speech processing.

How We Use Your Data

Data is used solely for the functionality of the extension, specifically:

• Translating YouTube audio into your preferred language.
• Generating audio playback of the translated text.

We do not use your data for analytics, marketing, or any other purpose.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share user data for marketing purposes. Any data transmitted to third-party services (e.g., Groq, Eleven Labs, Hugging Face) is solely for enabling the core functionalities of real-time translation and text-to-speech synthesis.

Data Security

We take steps to ensure your data is handled securely. However, the following should be noted:

• Data stored in your local browser is not encrypted.
• If cloud processing is enabled, data transmitted to third-party services is securely managed by those providers.

We recommend using a secure browser and device to protect locally stored data.

Third-Party Services

The extension integrates with the following third-party services for optional cloud-based processing:

• Groq: For translation. Groq Privacy Policy
• Eleven Labs: For text-to-speech synthesis. Eleven Labs Privacy Policy
• Hugging Face: For pre-trained models. Hugging Face Privacy Policy

We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how your data is handled during cloud-based operations.

Children's Privacy

The extension is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email below.

International Data Transfers

When cloud-based processing is enabled, data may be transmitted to servers outside your country. We work with trusted third-party providers to ensure secure handling of such data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via our website or within the extension.
