YouTube Fact Check Terms of Service

By adding the Youtube Fact Check application (Application ID: 1513786202015399999) to your or any other Discord server, you understand and agree that:

  • Message access and interaction
    The Youtube Fact Check app reads message content from your server only when required for its functionality and may post messages when applicable.
  • User interaction and data processing
    When you interact with the app by using /factcheck [url] or by tagging @Youtube Fact Check in a Discord message, your message content is processed.
    This process may include retrieving a YouTube URL, obtaining the transcript of the corresponding video, extracting factual claims, and sending the video content and your optional focus prompt to an AI processing provider.
    The resulting fact-check output is then posted by the app as a Discord reply message. Message content is processed only for the duration required to fulfill the request and is not stored by the bot itself.
  • Fact-check limitations
    The app provides AI-assisted factual analysis and reliability signals. It may classify claims as verified, misleading, unsupported, false, or needing context based on the available video transcript and model context. The app does not guarantee completeness, legal accuracy, medical accuracy, financial accuracy, or real-time correctness. You remain responsible for independently verifying important information before relying on it.
  • Data storage
    The Youtube Fact Check app maintains two separate data environments:

    1. Bot database (Discord-side):
    • Discord ID
    • Hashed Discord ID
    • Credits balance of Discord ID, if a credits record is created by the shared bot backend

    No message content, YouTube links, transcripts, or generated fact-check outputs are stored in the bot database.

    2. YouTube analysis backend:
    • Discord ID
    • Hashed Discord ID
    • YouTube URL submitted by the user
    • Optional user focus or claim submitted with the request
    • Retrieved video transcript
    • Generated summary, answer, or fact-check output
    • User quota / contingent where applicable

    This information is required to provide YouTube video analysis, prevent abuse, manage quotas, and allow generated outputs to be retrieved or reused where technically available.

  • Quota and usage
    Usage may be limited by fair-use quotas, shared backend capacity, or credits-related restrictions. If your credits balance reaches 0 from using other bots, service availability may be limited.
  • Costs
    You understand that making requests to AI APIs and YouTube analysis services on behalf of the user incurs costs for the bot operator (Niklas Mueller, Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Str. 23, 34134 Kassel, Germany, info@diszy.com). Once free usage or available credits are depleted, the user may be required to purchase credits or wait for quota renewal to continue using the app's main functionality.
