Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

This policy explains what data the REX Recipe Extractor Android app transmits, stores, and shares when you use it.

What the App Does

REX Recipe Extractor accepts YouTube video URLs shared from other apps, submits them to a condensation server, and plays back the condensed result. It does not host or store video content itself.

Data Transmitted When You Use the App

When you share a YouTube video and tap Condense Video or Extract Takeaways, the following is sent:

Data	Sent To	Why
YouTube video URL	REX Recipe Extractor server	To process the video
Your chosen settings (voice, aggressiveness, speech speed, output mode, language, prepend-intro toggle)	REX Recipe Extractor server	To control how the video is condensed

That is all! No tracking, no personal info, no nothing.

The video transcript is processed by some AI somewhere, but it never sees your name, email or anything, as even this app itself does not have them.

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The app stores the following in Android SharedPreferences (on-device only, never sent to us):

Server URL preference
Voice, language, aggressiveness, speech speed, output mode, and prepend-intro settings
Recent jobs list — up to 10 entries, each containing a job ID and video title

You can delete all of this by clearing the app's data or uninstalling.

Crash Reporting (Sentry)

The app uses Sentry for crash and error reporting. When a crash or handled error occurs, Sentry automatically collects:

Error stack trace
Device model and Android OS version
App version and build number
Network request URLs (not request bodies or video content)
App performance timing data (a sample of sessions)

Sentry reports do not include your name, email, video content, or the YouTube URLs you submit — unless a URL happened to appear in an error message.

See Sentry's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle this data.

What We Do Not Collect

Your name, email address, or any account information
Your location
Access to your camera, microphone, contacts, or files
Advertising identifiers
Any data beyond what is described above

Third-Party Services

YouTube / Google — video titles are fetched from YouTube's public oEmbed API using the URL you shared. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
Sentry — crash reporting. See Sentry's Privacy Policy.
Either Claude or GPT for text condenstion
Azure TTS for voce synthesis

Children's Privacy

This app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. The current version will always be at this URL with the revised date.
