Privacy Policy

Overview

Algoright AI ("we", "us") builds tools to help people reduce digital distraction. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how you can control it.

What we collect

• Account data — your email address and name, provided via Clerk when you sign up.
• Usage statistics — number of videos filtered, time saved, and focus streaks. Stored in Supabase and tied to your account.
• Video titles and channel names, for the videos our on-device model sends for AI assistance — most classification happens entirely on your device and nothing about those videos is sent anywhere. For the smaller number our on-device model can't confidently categorise on its own, the title and channel name are sent to our server for AI assistance (see below). These are logged — title, channel name, the assigned category, and your account ID — as training data to keep improving the on-device model.
• Category corrections you submit — if you tap ✓/✗ to correct how a video was categorised, the video's title, channel name, your correction, and the platform are stored on our server, and words from the title/channel are aggregated (without the full title) into a shared classifier database used to improve categorisation for everyone. This happens regardless of whether AI assistance is on or off for you — it's part of the correction feature itself, not the AI-assist feature.
• Rate limit counters — a daily count of how many AI-assist requests you have made. Stored in Supabase.
• IP address — used to rate-limit abuse. For the AI-assist endpoint this is an in-memory counter only (60 requests per minute per IP), never stored. For the public feedback form, a one-way hash of your IP address — never the address itself — may be written to a small rate-limit table that is automatically deleted after two days.

How classification works, and third-party data sharing

By default, classification runs entirely on your device, for every plan — no video data leaves your device for the videos our on-device model can confidently place. Only for the smaller subset it's genuinely unsure about does a video's title and channel name get sent for AI assistance:

1. Sent from the browser extension to our secure Next.js server (hosted on Vercel).
2. Forwarded to one of several AI providers for classification, tried in order until one responds — Groq, Inc. (api.groq.com), Cerebras Systems, Inc. (api.cerebras.ai), Google Gemini (generativelanguage.googleapis.com), or OpenRouter, Inc. (openrouter.ai, which itself may route the request to one of several underlying model providers). Using more than one provider lets AI assistance keep working smoothly if any single provider is temporarily unavailable or rate-limited.
3. The category result is returned to your browser. We send the AI provider only the title and channel name — nothing that identifies you — and each provider handles that data under its own privacy policy (linked below); we do not control their retention. Algoright's own server logs the title, channel name, and assigned category for these videos — see "What we collect" above — since that's the training data we use to keep improving the on-device model these videos are sent to us to help with in the first place.

To opt out of AI assistance: Go to Dashboard → Settings → Privacy & Data → turn off AI Classification. When off, classification runs entirely on-device, all the time — no video data leaves your device, and nothing is logged as training data. Note this only affects AI assistance: submitting a category correction (✓/✗) still stores that video's title/channel and contributes to the shared classifier, as described above, since that's a separate feature from AI assistance.

What we do NOT collect

• The content of videos you watch
• Your browsing history outside of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X
• Passwords (handled entirely by Clerk)
• Payment card details (handled entirely by Stripe)

Data storage and retention

Your account data and usage statistics are stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL), hosted in the EU. You can request full deletion of your account and data — including AI-assist training logs and category-correction records — by contacting us at the email below. Daily classification counters reset automatically every 24 hours.

Shared classifier data: words extracted from a category correction (not the full title) are aggregated into a shared database used to improve categorisation for every user, and decay automatically over time if not reinforced by further corrections — see the "Category corrections you submit" item above. Because this data is aggregated across users rather than tied to a single account, an account-deletion request removes your own correction records but does not retroactively remove already-aggregated shared signal.

Trial-abuse prevention: to stop the same person from repeatedly deleting an account to claim a new free trial, we keep a one-way, normalized record tied to the email used for a trial (for example, ignoring capitalization, dots, and "+" aliases on Gmail addresses). This record is not deleted when you delete your account. It cannot be used to identify you, contains no other personal information, and is used only to check trial eligibility on a future signup.

Cookies

We use only essential session cookies set by Clerk for authentication. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Children

Algoright AI is not directed at children under 13, and we screen for this at sign-up: we ask for a date of birth before an account can be created, and anyone under 13 is blocked from proceeding. That date of birth is used only to check eligibility — it is never stored or sent to our servers. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy. Significant changes will be communicated via the dashboard or email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
