Privacy Policy

Artiphik ("we", "our", "us") operates artiphik.com — an AI YouTube agent that plans, designs, writes, and helps you ship videos. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, how long we keep it, and the controls you have over it.

1. Who we are

Artiphik is a product built by Rahaman Bin Ujit. For privacy questions or data-deletion requests, contact rahaman@artiphik.com.

2. Data we collect

Account data. Email address, display name, hashed password or OAuth identifier, subscription plan. Stored when you sign up.

Generated content. Titles, thumbnail concepts, critiques, and images you create inside Artiphik, plus the prompts that produced them. Tied to your account so you can re-open past work.

Uploaded face and persona images. When you use features that place a face into a thumbnail (Face Modifier, FaceSwap, persona library), you upload one or more photos. We store those images so you can reuse the same person across generations. By uploading, you confirm you either are the person depicted or have explicit consent to use their image for this purpose. We do not use uploaded faces to train any models, and we do not share them with anyone outside the providers strictly required to render your generation.

Referral data. If you sign up via a referral link, we record which referrer brought you so we can credit their account on a qualifying purchase. The referrer is told that a referral converted; they are not shown your name, email, or activity inside the product.

YouTube channel data (optional). If you connect your YouTube channel via Google OAuth, we access the following via YouTube API Services:

• Channel ID, channel name, channel thumbnail
• Video metadata for your uploads (video ID, title, thumbnail URL, published date, description)
• Public performance metrics for your videos (views, watch time, retention, engagement) via the YouTube Analytics API
• Caption text for your own videos, fetched only when you explicitly invoke a feature that needs it (e.g. script critique). See "Captions access" below.

We request OAuth scopes only for features you actually use. On initial connect we request the minimum read-only set: youtube.readonly and yt-analytics.readonly. We do not request write access to your channel, and we do not access revenue or monetization data.

Usage data. Basic request logs (endpoint, timestamp, error codes) used to operate the service and debug issues. No behavioural tracking or ad profiles.

3. How we use your data

• To provide the features you invoke — generating titles, critiquing thumbnails, producing thumbnail ideas, rendering images, showing your analytics.
• To match videos you publish on YouTube to content you generated in Artiphik, so we can show you which titles and thumbnails are performing.
• To grade the spoken script of a video you ask us to critique, we fetch its captions via the YouTube Data API. Captions are used only to generate the requested critique and are not used for any other purpose.
• To improve our internal retrieval system, we use publicly available thumbnails of high-performing videos (not your private data) as design references.
• To display selected generations on our public Explore gallery. By default, generations made on the Free plan may appear in Explore so other creators can browse community output. You can flip a generation to private at any time from your library, and paid-plan generations are private by default.
• To communicate with you about your account (billing, security, product updates, and feature launches). Every non-essential email includes a one-click unsubscribe link; billing and security notices are required for the service to function and cannot be unsubscribed from.

We do not sell your data, do not use your YouTube data (including captions) to train or fine-tune machine learning models, and do not share your YouTube data with advertisers.

4. YouTube API Services

Artiphik uses YouTube API Services. By connecting your channel, you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

You can revoke Artiphik's access to your YouTube channel at any time from the Google security settings page, or from inside Artiphik by clicking Disconnect on the Analytics page. Revocation stops any further syncs immediately.

5. Google API Services Limited Use

Artiphik's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:

• We use Google user data only to provide and improve user-facing features that are prominent in the Artiphik UI (channel analytics, video matching, performance tracking).
• We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve those features, to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with user notification.
• We do not use Google user data for serving advertisements, including retargeting, personalised, or interest-based advertising.
• We do not allow humans to read Google user data unless (a) you give us explicit consent for specific data, (b) it is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, (c) it is required to comply with applicable law, or (d) the data is aggregated and anonymised and used for internal operations.
• We do not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train generalised machine-learning or AI models.

6. Storage and retention

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest by our infrastructure providers. Our production infrastructure runs in the Asia-Pacific region.

In line with the YouTube API Services Developer Policies we refresh or delete YouTube-derived data at least every 30 days. Data we fetch via the YouTube API is either refreshed from the live API within this window or removed from our cache.

Captions fetched for script critique are processed at the time of the critique and are not persisted as their own record. Outputs you save are retained on your account so you can re-open past work; deleting an item from your library removes its stored output, and deleting your account removes all of it within 14 days.

Uploaded face and persona images are retained while your account is active so you can reuse them across generations. You can delete an individual persona at any time from the persona library inside the app, which removes the image from our storage. When you delete your account, all uploaded face images are removed within 14 days.

When you disconnect your channel, we retain your historical performance data tied to your account so your past work stays intact, but we stop fetching new data and remove OAuth tokens immediately. When you delete your account, we remove all your data within 14 days, including any cached YouTube data.

7. Your rights and controls

• Access / export. Email rahaman@artiphik.com and we'll send you a copy of the data we hold on your account within 14 days.
• Correction. You can edit your profile inside the app, or email us for anything you can't change yourself.
• Deletion. Disconnect your YouTube channel from the Analytics page, or request full account deletion at rahaman@artiphik.com. We process deletion requests within 14 days.
• Revoke YouTube access. Use the Google permissions page. Our access ends the moment you revoke it.
• Explore visibility. Toggle any generation to private from your library. Private generations never appear in Explore.
• Delete face uploads. Remove individual personas from the persona library inside the app. Deletion removes the image from our storage immediately.

8. Categories of third-party service providers

To operate Artiphik we rely on the following categories of third-party service providers, each contractually bound to handle your data in line with this policy:

• Cloud infrastructure and hosting providers — application hosting, authentication, database, and file storage.
• AI model providers — third-party generative-AI APIs that produce titles, critiques, thumbnail concepts, and images from the prompts you submit. We contract with these providers under terms that restrict use of your inputs to delivering our service, including no use of your inputs to train their foundation models.
• YouTube API Services (Data, Analytics, and Reporting APIs) — to fetch your channel data after you explicitly connect via Google OAuth. Governed by the Google Privacy Policy and YouTube Terms of Service.
• Email and transactional communication providers — to send account notices, billing receipts, and customer support responses.
• Payment processing. Dodo Payments handles subscription billing as our merchant of record, including tax handling and card processing. Card details are stored with Dodo, not with us.
• Web analytics providers (Google Analytics 4) — to understand how visitors use artiphik.com (pages viewed, referral sources, approximate location, device type). Google processes this data under their Privacy Policy. IP addresses are anonymised and no personally identifying information is passed to Google. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Enterprise customers can request our current sub-processor list by emailing rahaman@artiphik.com.

9. Cookies and tracking technologies

Artiphik uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary cookies. Required to operate the service — authenticating your session, remembering you while signed in, and persisting in-progress work between page loads. Without these, the app cannot function.
• Analytics cookies. Used to understand how visitors and signed-in users navigate the product (pages viewed, referral sources, approximate location, device type, feature usage). We use these to improve the product and prioritize what to build next. They do not identify you to advertisers.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking. We do not sell cookie data to third parties. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings; blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the service.

10. AI-generated content

Titles, critiques, thumbnail concepts, and images produced by Artiphik are generated by AI. Output may contain inaccuracies, biases, or unintended similarities to existing content. Treat it as a starting point and verify before publishing. Where platform policies require disclosure of AI-generated content (for example, YouTube's synthetic-content labelling rules), the obligation to disclose sits with you as the uploader.

11. Children

Artiphik is not intended for users under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child under 13 has signed up, email us and we'll delete the account.

12. Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, email every active user before the change takes effect.
