Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 15, 2026 • Built on a strict On-Device, Zero-Personal-Data architecture.
1. Zero Personal Data Collection
Unlike cloud-based video converters and ad-heavy apps, TimeTube AI processes your searches, streams, and downloads directly on your Android device. We do not require account registration, phone numbers, or email sign-up to use the app.
- No storage of your YouTube search keywords or AI Time-Travel filters.
- No server-side logging of videos watched, paused, or downloaded.
- No third-party ad-network tracking SDKs or behavioral profiling.
2. Data Handling Breakdown
| Data Category | Stored on Server? | Where It Lives |
|---|---|---|
| Search Queries & Watch History | No (Never) | Your phone only (clearable anytime) |
| 4K MP4 & M4A Downloads | No (Never) | Your Phone Gallery & Offline Vault |
| Playlists & Favorites | No (Never) | Local device database |
| Google Sign-In Cookies | No (Never) | Encrypted local WebView storage on device |
| Support Tickets (Optional) | Only if you submit | Cloudflare KV until resolved/deleted |
3. On-Device Vault, Gallery & Playlists
All downloaded 4K MP4 videos, M4A audio files, custom playlists, watch history, and favorite channels are stored locally inside your device storage. Uninstalling the app or clearing storage permanently removes local app data, while files saved to your Phone Gallery remain under your full control.
4. Google Sign-In Session Verification
To prevent YouTube bot-verification blocks during 4K or HD downloads, TimeTube AI lets you verify your Google session locally inside an embedded browser view. Your credentials and session cookies never touch our servers and are never accessible to us or any third party.
5. Anonymous App Updates & Edge Health
When TimeTube AI checks for app updates or maintenance notices via timetubeai.site/api/app-config, only non-personal technical metadata (app version and an anonymous, irreversible one-way hash for active-count metrics) is processed at the Cloudflare edge. Raw IP addresses and personal identities are never stored.
6. Android Permissions Used
- Storage / Media Access: Required solely to save downloaded 4K MP4 videos and M4A audio directly into your Phone Gallery and Offline Vault.
- Foreground Service & Notifications: Required for background Pause/Resume downloads and Spotify-style screen-off audio playback controls.
- Picture-in-Picture (PiP): Allows floating video playback while using other apps.
7. Safe Search & Children's Privacy
TimeTube AI does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Restricted / Safe Search filtering can also be enforced to keep search results family-friendly.
8. Policy Updates & Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy as new features are added. You can always review the latest version at timetubeai.site/privacy or submit feedback directly from the in-app Settings → Report an Issue screen.
