Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 7, 2026

Virascope ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Virascope desktop application and the virascope.com website. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you purchase a subscription, we collect your email address, payment information (processed by Stripe), and license key data.

Device Information

Our software generates a hardware identifier (HWID) based on your device's hostname, MAC address, and operating system. This is used solely to bind your license key to a single device and prevent unauthorized sharing.

Usage Data

We collect license verification logs (timestamp, IP address, verification status) to maintain the security and integrity of our licensing system. We do not collect or store:

  • The content of YouTube videos you scan
  • Your YouTube API key
  • Your scan results, saved videos, or channel data
  • Your search criteria or filter settings

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To verify and manage your software license
  • To process payments and manage subscriptions
  • To send transactional emails (license keys, receipts, account notifications)
  • To detect and prevent unauthorized use or abuse
  • To improve our product and services

3. Data Storage & Security

All data generated by the Virascope application (saved videos, channel reports, scan history) is stored locally on your device in a SQLite database. We never upload, transmit, or access this data.

License verification data is stored on our secure servers. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest.

4. Third-Party Services

  • Stripe — Payment processing. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
  • YouTube Data API — The application uses your own API key to fetch data directly from Google. See Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain license and payment data for the duration of your subscription plus 90 days after cancellation. Verification logs are retained for 12 months for security purposes.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Export your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@virascope.com.

7. Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies for essential functionality (e.g., remembering preferences). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or through the application.
