This privacy policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our free tag extraction tools for YouTube videos, images, and text content. It also explains your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

Important: TagExtractor.net does not require user registration or accounts. We do not collect, store, or retain any of your uploaded images, video URLs, or text content. All processing is done in real-time, and your data is immediately discarded after tag generation.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use third-party AI services (OpenRouter) to process your content and generate tags. These providers process data on our behalf under strict data protection agreements and do not retain your content.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect our rights and safety.

• Cloudflare (CDN and security) - minimal logging for security purposes
• YouTube API (for metadata extraction) - governed by YouTube's Terms of Service

5. Data Security

We have implemented industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

• HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS
• In-Memory Processing: Your uploaded content is processed in-memory and never written to disk
• Immediate Data Deletion: All submitted content is purged from memory immediately after tag generation
• DDoS Protection: Cloudflare protects our services from distributed denial-of-service attacks
• Rate Limiting: We implement rate limits to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
