Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 23, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to We Don't Say That. We built this application to provide families with safer, filterable YouTube and Amazon Prime Video viewing. This policy explains the limited account, contribution, and technical data used to provide those features. We do not sell personal data.

2. Data Collection & Usage

Local and Browser Storage: Website watch history and website custom-word settings are stored in your browser. Prime extension settings, including custom words, use Chrome extension storage and may sync through your Chrome profile when browser sync is enabled. WDST does not receive those custom-word settings.

Authentication Data: If you create an account, we use Clerk to manage your identity and session. WDST uses the authenticated account identifier for access control, contribution deduplication, abuse review, and any community scan credits.

Community Contributions: When you choose manual or automatic sharing, WDST receives the contributed title, platform and edition-specific asset ID, duration, language categories or detected terms, mute timestamps, coverage information, ruleset version, and—for Prime Video—a transcript-free caption fingerprint, cue count, and caption duration. A verified modesty contribution also includes objective scene labels, severity, confidence, and start/end timestamps. Private notes, screenshots, and video frames are not submitted. The contributor account identifier is retained with timing submissions so one account cannot falsely count as multiple independent confirmations. Prime caption text, the complete transcript, and the Amazon account identity are not submitted.

Security & Rate Limiting: To protect our servers against abuse and to enforce the daily 20-video limit for non-subscribers, our firewall temporarily processes your IP address. This is not used to track you or build a profile; it is strictly a momentary numeric counter that resets daily.

Operational Logs: We may retain limited request, error, rate-limit, and contribution logs needed to operate and protect the service. We do not use extension data for personalized advertising.

3. Chrome Extension Disclosure

The We Don't Say That Chrome extensions require specific host permissions for the supported YouTube, Amazon, Prime Video, Prime caption-delivery, and wedontsaythat.net domains.

These permissions are used to interact with supported video players, acquire the caption timing needed to build filters locally, retrieve community mute and modesty-scene data, and authenticate contributions. The extension reads the wedontsaythat.net session cookie when account verification or an authenticated contribution is required. It does not read or submit an Amazon account cookie, payment information, or browsing on unrelated sites.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting the privacy of young children is our highest priority. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately for removal.

5. User Rights & Data Deletion

You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal information associated with your account. You can manage your account and request full data deletion at any time via your Account Profile or by contacting us.

6. Third-Party Services

YouTube: By using this service, you are also bound by the Google Privacy Policy and YouTube Terms of Service.

Advertising: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
