Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026
What we collect
Scribeflow has no accounts and no login, so we do not collect names, email addresses or profiles. When you generate a transcript we process the YouTube link you submit in order to fetch that video's caption track.
Caching
Generated transcripts are stored on our servers keyed by the public YouTube video ID and caption language. This cache contains only publicly available video metadata and caption text — never anything about you. It exists so repeat requests are fast and so we send far fewer requests to YouTube.
Abuse protection
To stop automated abuse, request volume is counted against a short-lived key derived from a one-way hash of your IP address and browser user agent. The raw IP address is never written to our database or logs, and these counters expire automatically.
Analytics
We record aggregate daily counters — how many transcripts were requested, how many were served from cache, and how many failed. These numbers contain no identifiers and cannot be traced to an individual.
Advertising
This site may display advertising in the future. If and when an advertising partner is enabled, this policy will be updated to name the partner and describe the cookies or identifiers it uses, before any such script is loaded.
Third parties
Transcripts and thumbnails are retrieved from YouTube, so your request causes our servers to contact Google's services. We do not sell or share data with anyone else.
