This configuration data is collected to ensure that the app functions according to your preferences and needs.

These files are processed locally on your machine to generate text, audio, or other video files as a result of the app's functionality.
Generated Data: During the conversion and subtitle generation process, our app may generate text, audio, or other video files as output based on the input provided. These generated files are produced locally on your machine and are intended for your personal use or further distribution as desired.

Please note that our app does not transmit any user data or generated files to external servers or third-party services. All processing and data handling occur locally on your system, utilizing the OpenAI Whisper libraries.

You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your own system and data.

Data Collection Methods

App Interface: When using ytffmpeg, you may provide configuration settings directly through the app interface. This includes specifying video quality, subtitle formats, language preferences, or other settings relevant to the conversion and subtitle generation process.
Authentication Tokens (Optional): If you choose to utilize the functionality of posting video content to your platform or accessing your server as configured or specified, you may provide authentication tokens or credentials to enable the app to connect and interact with your designated platform or server. These tokens are used solely for the purpose of facilitating the desired actions and are neither transmitted nor stored outside of the local workstation where the app is running.

Please note that by default, ytffmpeg does not require or collect any authentication tokens or credentials. This feature is optional and can be configured by the user based on their specific requirements.

It is important to highlight that all data provided through the app or configuration, including authentication tokens or credentials, are processed locally on the user's workstation. No data is transmitted or stored outside of the local environment. We prioritize the privacy and security of your information and take appropriate measures to safeguard it.

Purpose of Data Collection

The primary purpose of data collection in ytffmpeg is to facilitate the production of pristine videos for various video engagement platforms. By collecting the necessary configuration settings and utilizing the provided input files, our app enhances the user experience by providing a single interface for adding, editing, compiling, and posting videos to multiple platforms simultaneously.

The data collected through the app, including configuration settings and input files, is used solely for the purpose of generating high-quality videos tailored to the user's specifications. This allows users to efficiently manage their video content and streamline the process of publishing videos across multiple platforms.

Additionally, ytffmpeg also offers the flexibility for users to solely produce videos for their own use and publishing outside of the application. By generating videos according to user preferences and requirements, our app empowers users to publish their videos at their own leisure and on platforms of their choice.

Please note that while ytffmpeg may provide integration with various video engagement platforms, the app does not collect any personal or sensitive information from these platforms. Any data shared with video engagement platforms or published by the user is subject to the privacy policies and terms of those respective platforms.

We prioritize the security and confidentiality of the data collected through ytffmpeg. All processing and data handling occur locally on the user's machine, ensuring that the generated videos and related data remain within the user's control.

Data Storage and Security

The following data storage and security measures are implemented:

Local Data Storage: All data provided to ytffmpeg, including configuration settings and input files, is stored locally on the user's machine. We do not store or transmit this data to external servers or third-party services. It remains under your control and within the confines of your workstation.
Local Processing: The processing of data, including video conversion, subtitle generation, and any related operations, is performed locally on the user's machine. This ensures that your data is processed in a secure and controlled environment. We utilize libraries downloaded from the Internet, such as CTranslate2 or OpenAI Whisper libraries, for local processing. However, we cannot guarantee the quality or security of any models downloaded from external sources, such as https://huggingface.co/ or other third-party services used for generating subtitles. It is advisable for users to exercise caution and ensure the security of their workstation against potential local exploits.
User Responsibility: It is important for users to take necessary precautions to secure their workstations and protect their data. This includes keeping their operating systems and security software up to date, utilizing firewalls and antivirus software, and implementing other appropriate security measures.

While we strive to maintain the highest level of security, it is important to note that no method of data transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for their own workstation security and should take necessary steps to protect their data.

Data Sharing

We do not engage in any automatic or unauthorized data sharing with third-party services or platforms. The app does not transmit or share your data with external servers or third-party APIs, except for the artifacts downloaded as dependencies of the software or the training models obtained, which are local to your machine.

It is important to note that any data shared by you through the app, including video files, subtitles, or other related content, may be subject to the terms and privacy policies of the video engagement platforms where you choose to publish your videos. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these platforms to understand how they handle your data.

Please exercise caution and ensure the appropriate security measures when providing API keys or authentication tokens for video engagement platforms. It is your responsibility to safeguard these credentials and ensure their authorized use.
