This marketing website is informational. When you visit it, the hosting provider may process technical data that your browser transmits automatically (e.g. IP address, user agent, requested page, timestamp) in server logs for the purpose of delivering the site securely and reliably. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating the site (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR). We do not use this data to identify you.
This site loads web fonts from Google Fonts. When a font is requested, your browser connects to Google's servers, which may process your IP address. If you prefer to avoid this, you can block third-party font loading in your browser; the site remains readable with system fonts.
We do not use advertising cookies, analytics trackers, or third-party marketing pixels on this website.
The application processes the content you give it — videos, audio, transcripts and the assets derived from them — entirely on your own infrastructure. To generate text and analyses it calls the LLM providers you configure (for example a local model via Ollama or LM Studio, or a third-party API such as OpenAI or Anthropic). To publish assets it calls the social-publishing and editorial services you connect. When you choose a remote provider, the relevant content is sent to that provider under its privacy policy and terms. You decide which providers to use; a fully local configuration sends nothing to third parties.
If you email or call us, we process the information you provide in order to handle your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) and (f) GDPR. We keep such correspondence only as long as necessary.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
We may update this policy as the product evolves. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version.
