InputScout Privacy Policy
VEYAMA, LLC operates InputScout. This policy explains the app-owned information InputScout processes, the services involved, and the choices available to you. It is written to describe the current product rather than a hypothetical future version.
Information InputScout processes
- Account identity: Supabase creates an anonymous or pseudonymous user ID when you use the connected app. If you later use a supported sign-in or contact support, an email address may also be processed.
- Learner settings: language, self-described level, dialect and topic preferences, preferred duration, ability estimates, theme, and onboarding state.
- InputScout activity: saved and completed items, resume position, app-tracked input sessions, fit ratings, pairwise comparisons, community quality votes, reports, and submitted YouTube URLs.
- Catalogue and moderation: public YouTube identifiers and official metadata, editorial evidence, staff actions, operational records, and redacted audit information.
- Support information: messages and identifiers you choose to send when requesting help, access, or deletion.
What InputScout does not claim to collect
InputScout does not import or record your official YouTube watch history. App-tracked input sessions describe activity inside InputScout or time you manually report; they are not YouTube account history. InputScout does not download video, audio, or subtitles.
How information is used
We use app-owned information to provide onboarding, discovery, saved items, progress, difficulty calibration, recommendations, abuse prevention, catalogue quality, support, security, and audited operations. Personal fit labels are not directly averaged into the global difficulty score.
Service providers and third-party content
Supabase provides authentication, database, storage, and Edge Function infrastructure. Vercel hosts the public website and web applications. YouTube and Google provide external video playback, video metadata, and their own platform services. Google Play distributes the Android app. These providers process technical information under their own terms and privacy practices where applicable.
YouTube playback
Videos play through the official YouTube embedded player or open on YouTube. YouTube may process device, network, cookie, account, playback, and advertising information independently. InputScout does not control YouTube advertising or recommendation behavior.
Advertising
The current InputScout production release has advertising disabled and does not include an advertising SDK. YouTube may still show its own advertising inside the official player. Any future InputScout advertising would require an updated implementation and privacy review.
Sharing
We do not sell learner data. Information is disclosed to infrastructure providers as necessary to run InputScout, when you direct us to do so, to protect the service and its users, or when legally required. Public community signals are designed to be aggregated or pseudonymous rather than displaying a learner identity.
Retention and deletion
App-owned account and activity data is retained while needed to provide InputScout and maintain security and integrity. A deletion removes or anonymizes covered app-owned data, subject to narrowly retained security, legal, backup, or append-only audit records where legitimately required. See Delete Account for both in-app and external request options.
Anonymous accounts and device loss
An anonymous Supabase identity may not be recoverable on another device if its local authentication state is lost. InputScout does not silently create a replacement identity and merge data. Optional account backup and identity linking are planned separately.
Security and children
We use access controls, row-level security, role checks, and audited privileged operations. No service can guarantee absolute security. InputScout is not directed to children under 13, and the initial release does not knowingly request a child’s personal information.
Your choices
You can reset or delete app-owned data from Profile in the app, request deletion without reinstalling, or contact us about privacy questions. Depending on applicable law, additional access, correction, objection, or portability rights may apply.
