Subtext works without an account and asks for no personal details. This page lists everything that is processed when you use it.

What we process

• The video you ask for. We read that video's public captions from YouTube and keep a copy so later visitors get the page faster. The copy is not linked to you.
• Technical request data. Your IP address and browser identifier are used in memory to limit abuse and automated traffic. Hosting and network providers may keep short-lived access logs.
• Preferences on your device. Your theme and timestamp choices are stored in your browser's local storage and never sent to us.

Video player

The video is loaded from YouTube only after you press play. From that moment YouTube's own privacy policy applies to the player.

Your choices

You can clear local storage and cookies in your browser at any time. To ask about data or request removal of a transcript, use the contact details on the About page.
