Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 25, 2026

Reel or Not? by Voolo ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application. By using the app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide our service:

  • URLs you submit — Links to social media content for fact-checking
  • Analysis results — Fact-check verdicts and associated data generated from your submissions
  • Device information — Operating system version, app version
  • Usage data — Number of checks performed, app interactions

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or precise location. We do not require account creation.

2. How We Process Video Content

This App only analyzes content from publicly available URLs that you provide. We do not access private, restricted, or password-protected content. The App does not store, redistribute, or display the original content — it only processes text, audio transcripts, and visual text for the purpose of fact-checking commentary and analysis. All original content remains the property of its respective creators.

When you submit a URL, our servers perform the following process:

Audio Processing

Spoken audio from the submitted URL is temporarily extracted and sent to a transcription service (Groq Whisper) to convert speech to text. The audio file is immediately discarded after transcription and is never stored on our servers.

Video Frame Processing

A small number of still frames (typically 4–6) are temporarily sampled from the video to detect on-screen text, captions, and visual claims. These frames are sent to an AI vision service for text extraction and are immediately discarded afterward. No video footage is stored, retained, or displayed to any user.

What We Never Do With Your Content

  • We never store the original video or audio on our servers
  • We never display another user's submitted video content to other users
  • We never sell or share raw video/audio content with third parties
  • We never use your submitted content to train AI models
  • Processing is temporary — all raw media is deleted immediately after analysis

3. How We Use Information

  • To provide and improve our fact-checking service
  • To cache fact-check results for faster repeat lookups
  • To generate anonymized community statistics (e.g., "6 reels fact-checked")
  • To display trending fact-checks in anonymized form
  • To maintain app performance and fix technical issues

4. Data Storage and Retention

Your check history is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. Fact-check results (text only, no media) are cached on our servers for up to 30 days to improve performance for repeat lookups, after which they are automatically deleted. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

Our app uses the following third-party services to provide fact-checking. Each service has its own privacy policy governing data processing:

  • Google Gemini AI — Content analysis and claim extraction
  • Groq Whisper — Audio-to-text transcription of submitted URLs
  • AI Vision Service (via RapidAPI) — Temporary frame analysis and on-screen text extraction
  • Tavily / DuckDuckGo / Google Search — Web-based source verification
  • RevenueCat — Subscription management
  • Apple App Store — Payment processing
  • Expo — App development and distribution

6. Subscriptions

Voolo Pro subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID account. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. No refunds will be provided for the unused portion of a subscription term.

7. Children's Privacy

Our app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us immediately.

8. Your Rights

You can clear all your local data at any time from the Settings tab within the app. Since we do not collect personal information, there is no account data to delete.

California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what data we collect and to request deletion.

EU/EEA residents (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data, including any URLs you have submitted. Your data may be processed in the United States.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
