1. Who we are
MarysReel is an AI-assisted video creation application available at https://marysreel.com. The service lets users create voiceover scripts, render videos, buy credits and optionally publish completed videos to YouTube.
2. Information we collect
We collect the information needed to operate the service, including account name, email address, password hash, email verification status, credit balance, payment references, selected video settings, prompts, draft scripts, generated metadata, generated files, usage logs and basic technical information needed for security and troubleshooting.
If you connect YouTube, we store the channel information and OAuth tokens needed to list your connected channels and upload videos only when you request it.
3. How we use information
We use your information to create and manage your account, verify your email address, generate draft scripts, render videos, manage credits, process purchases, provide previews and downloads, upload videos to YouTube when requested, prevent abuse and maintain service reliability.
4. AI, stock media and third-party services
MarysReel uses third-party providers to operate core features. These may include OpenRouter for AI generation, Pexels for stock footage, Stripe for payments, Google/YouTube for channel connection and publishing, and infrastructure providers for hosting, email delivery and logs.
Payment card details are handled by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
5. Google and YouTube data
If you connect a YouTube account, MarysReel requests access only for the YouTube publishing features shown in the application. We use Google user data to show connected channels, remember the channel you selected and upload videos with the title, description, tags and privacy status you confirm.
We do not sell Google user data. We do not use Google user data for advertising. We do not transfer Google user data except as needed to provide the YouTube publishing feature, comply with law, protect the service, or with your explicit instruction. Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
6. Cookies and sessions
We use essential cookies or similar session mechanisms to keep you logged in, protect forms from CSRF attacks and operate the application. These are necessary for the service to function.
7. Retention
We keep account and transaction data as long as needed to operate the service, comply with accounting or legal obligations and resolve disputes. Generated job workspaces and temporary rendering files may be removed by maintenance tasks after a configured retention period.
8. Your choices
You may disconnect YouTube channels from the dashboard, remove stored channels where available, stop using the service or contact us to request access, correction or deletion of your personal data where applicable.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the service, including hashed passwords, CSRF protection, server-side access checks and restricted use of OAuth tokens. No internet service can guarantee perfect security.
10. Children
MarysReel is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it where required.
