Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2025

1. Introduction

AetherEnhance ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Chrome extension, Web Studio, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

By using AetherEnhance, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you disagree, please discontinue use of our Services.

2. Information We Don't Collect

We designed AetherEnhance to be privacy-first. Here's what we never collect:

• Personal identification information — No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses
• TikTok account credentials — Your password is never visible to us at any point
• Browsing history — We don't track what videos you watch or interact with
• Payment information — AetherEnhance is completely free; we never ask for credit card details
• Device fingerprints — No unique device identification or tracking

3. How the Chrome Extension Works

The AetherEnhance Chrome extension operates entirely client-side in your browser. This means:

• All video enhancement, analytics, and feature processing happens locally on your device
• No data is transmitted to our servers during normal extension use
• Your TikTok session remains between you and TikTok's servers
• Feature preferences are stored locally in your browser's storage

4. Web Studio Data Handling

When you use our Web Studio for video uploading and enhancement:

• Video uploads: Your video is transmitted to our servers solely for FFmpeg processing (sharpening, noise reduction, compression)
• Processing: Enhancement is automated and no human reviews your content
• Auto-deletion: Your video is permanently deleted from our servers immediately after processing and delivery
• No storage: We maintain zero copies of your uploaded videos after the enhancement is complete
• TikTok OAuth: If you choose to post directly, we use TikTok's official OAuth flow. Your credentials are handled entirely by TikTok

5. Telegram Community

The only requirement to unlock AetherEnhance features is joining our Telegram group and channel. This is entirely optional and handled through Telegram's platform. We receive no personal data from Telegram beyond what's publicly visible in the group.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

Our extension uses your browser's local storage to save your feature preferences and settings. This data never leaves your device. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or any third-party tracking mechanisms.

7. Third-Party Services

AetherEnhance integrates with the following third-party services:

• TikTok: For OAuth authentication in Web Studio (governed by TikTok's privacy policy)
• Telegram: For community access (governed by Telegram's privacy policy)
• Chrome Web Store: For extension distribution (governed by Google's privacy policy)

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party platforms.

8. Data Security

While we minimize data collection by design, any temporary video data transmitted to Web Studio is protected with:

• HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
• Automated file deletion upon processing completion
• No persistent storage of user content

9. Children's Privacy

AetherEnhance is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will be announced in our Telegram channel. Continued use of AetherEnhance after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data. Since we collect essentially no personal data, exercising these rights is straightforward. If you have questions or concerns, contact us through our Telegram group.
