Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account information: email address and display name when you create an account
  • Content you create: photos, videos, audio recordings, text notes, and captions uploaded as part of your session logs
  • Device information: browser type, operating system, and device type (collected automatically for service functionality)
  • Usage data: pages visited, features used, and session timestamps

When you connect a third-party account (such as Instagram), we may also collect your account ID and username from that service, solely for the purpose of publishing content on your behalf.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide the qaptcha service: storing session logs, generating session reels, and enabling export and sharing
  • Publish content to your connected social media accounts (e.g., Instagram) when you choose to share
  • Improve the service and fix issues
  • Communicate important service updates

We do not sell, rent, or license your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on Google Cloud Platform (Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Storage). Media files are stored in private cloud storage buckets accessible only to you and our backend services. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that meet industry standards to protect your information.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate qaptcha:

  • Google Firebase — authentication, database, and file storage
  • Google Cloud Platform — media processing, video rendering, and hosting
  • Meta Platforms (Instagram) — content publishing when you choose to share reels or stories to your Instagram account

These third parties, including Meta Platforms, Inc. and its affiliates, may collect or receive information from your use of this application. Each third-party service is governed by its own privacy policy.

5. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with third parties except as necessary to provide the service (e.g., cloud infrastructure providers) or when required by law. When you use sharing features (such as publishing to Instagram), you choose what content to share. We do not share your data for advertising or marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. Deleted content is soft-deleted and may be recoverable by support for up to 30 days. After 30 days, deleted data is permanently removed. If you disconnect a third-party service (such as Instagram) or delete your account, we delete all associated data without undue delay.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your data — use the Export ZIP feature to download all your content
  • Rectify your data — edit your projects, session logs, and profile at any time
  • Delete your data — delete individual sessions, projects, or your entire account
  • Port your data — export your data in standard formats (ZIP with original media files)
  • Restrict or object to processing — contact us to limit how we use your data
  • Withdraw consent — disconnect third-party services or delete your account at any time

To exercise any of these rights, use the in-app features or contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

qaptcha is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. By using qaptcha, you consent to the transfer of your data to these locations. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for cross-border data transfers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of qaptcha after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
