Processed data
Ⅰ. Own data processing
User data
The app stores your Discord ID and its hash when you interact with the app. A Discord ID is a unique identifier assigned to each Discord user. While not directly linked to personal information, it can, in combination with other data, identify an individual.
1. Scope of processing of the data
The bot only processes messages that contain a command (e.g., /summarize [url]) or when it is tagged in a message. No other messages are read or stored. The following data is stored in the bot database:
- Discord ID
- Hash of Discord ID
- YouTube URL submitted by the user
- Retrieved video transcript
- Generated summary text
- User quota / contingent, including the daily global contingent
2. Purpose of data processing
This is required to operate the app, generate summaries, and manage user access and quotas.
3. Legal basis for processing
The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (protection of legitimate interests of the app operator).
4. Duration of storage
Discord ID and hash are stored for the entire duration of app operation. Data on yt-summary.com (YouTube URLs, transcripts, summaries, quotas) are retained until deletion is requested by the user.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
You can request deletion of your Discord ID from the bot database. Data stored on yt-summary.com, including summaries and quota information, can be deleted or managed through yt-summary.com Terms of Service.
Ⅱ. Data processing by third parties
Google (Gemini)
The data processed by Google is not processed in connection with or in connection with your personal data, so that no personal reference is made. However, they are listed for the sake of completeness.

The chat message or image content is sent as an input prompt to the API interface of Google (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) and processed by Google's Gemini models.
2. Purpose of data processing
Google collects the data on behalf of the person responsible. This is necessary for the operation of the app and to provide the basic function of the app, providing AI-generated answers and analysis.
3. Legal basis for processing
The legal basis for the processing of your data by Google is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
Google retains data for a limited period to provide the service. For details on retention, please refer to Google's privacy documentation.

By adding the YT Summary application (Application ID: 1228787849030271046) to your or any other Discord server, you understand and agree that:
-
Message access and interaction
The YT Summary 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 — for example, by using one of its slash commands (e.g.,/summarize [url]) or tagging @YT Summary in a Discord message — your message content is processed.
This process may include retrieving a YouTube URL, obtaining the transcript of the corresponding video, and sending the video content as a prompt to the API interface of OpenAI, L.L.C. (3180 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA).
The processing is performed by OpenAI. The resulting API output (e.g., a YouTube summary) is then posted by the app as a Discord reply message.
Message content is processed only for the duration of the request and is not stored by the bot itself. -
Data storage
The YT Summary app maintains two separate data environments:
1. Bot database (Discord-side):- Discord ID
- Hashed Discord ID
- Credits Balance of Discord ID
No message content, YouTube links, transcripts, summaries, or contingent information are stored in the bot database.
2. yt-summary.com database:- Discord ID
- Hashed Discord ID
- YouTube URL submitted by the user
- Retrieved video transcript
- Generated summary text
- User quota / contingent (including daily global contingent)
This information is required to allow users to retrieve their summaries later via yt-summary.com or through the YT Summary app on Discord. Users may manage or delete their data through yt-summary.com Terms of Service.
-
Storage of generated summaries
Generated summaries are stored exclusively at yt-summary.com and can be retrieved through the YT Summary app on Discord. -
Quota and usage
Each user has a daily summary quota (contingent) that resets every 24 hours and is stored at yt-summary.com.
The free quota allows one summary per day. However, if the daily global contingent is not fully used, users may be able to generate additional summaries beyond the default one per day.
Users can also extend their quota by purchasing additional summary credits on yt-summary.com.
The quota system is used solely to manage fair usage and is associated with the user’s Discord ID.
Due to the shared credits system with other bots, using YT Summary creates a credits record in the bot database. If your credits balance reaches 0 from using other bots, YT Summary service may be limited. Note: If you only interact with YT Summary, this is not relevant as YT Summary uses contingent tracking via yt-summary.com, not the credits system. -
Terms reference
For further details about usage rules, limitations, and account management, please refer to the YT Summary Terms of Service.
Commands
| /summarize [url] [lang: optional] | Summarize a YouTube video from the provided URL, optionally in a specified language. |
