Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 20, 2025

Welcome to our Beam Video Service ("Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our Service, including when you log in via Google OAuth or GitHub, upload videos, or use our online storage and download features. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to safeguarding your data in compliance with applicable laws.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: When you log in using Google OAuth or GitHub, we collect your email address and, if provided, your name to authenticate your account and provide personalized services such as email notifications and subscription management.
• Video and Content Data: When you upload video files or provide video links, we process these to generate thumbnail images. Uploaded files are temporarily stored for processing and may be stored longer if you opt for our online storage service.
• Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with our Service, such as IP addresses, browser type, device information, and pages visited, to improve our Service and ensure security.
• Payment Information: For paid subscriptions, we collect billing information through our third-party payment processor. We do not store your full payment details directly.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Authenticate your account via Google OAuth or GitHub.
• Generate and provide thumbnail images based on your uploaded videos or links.
• Send email notifications about your account, subscription status, or service updates.
• Process payments for subscription services.
• Analyze usage to improve our Service and ensure its security.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service Providers: Third-party providers (e.g., Google OAuth, GitHub, payment processors, cloud storage) that help us deliver the Service.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law or to protect our rights, we may disclose your information to authorities or in response to legal requests.

4. Data Storage and Security

We store your data securely using industry-standard encryption and security measures. Video files and thumbnails are stored temporarily for processing unless you choose our online storage option, in which case they are retained until you delete them or your subscription ends. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to protect your data.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• Opt out of email notifications.
• Request information about how your data is used or shared.
• Where applicable (e.g., under GDPR or CCPA), request data portability or restrict processing.

6. Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with Google OAuth and GitHub for authentication. These third parties have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your experience, such as maintaining your login session. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or through our Service. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
