Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 8, 2026

Overview

Algorithm Break ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website at algorithmbreak.ai and its subdomains (the "Service").

Our Core Privacy Principle

Your personal data stays in your browser. When you upload your YouTube watch history or Spotify listening history, all analysis is performed locally using JavaScript. We never upload, store, or have access to your viewing or listening data.

Information We Collect

Local Analysis Tools (YouTube, Spotify)

When you use our bubble analysis tools:

  • Your data file is processed entirely in your browser
  • We do not upload your watch/listening history to any server
  • We do not access your YouTube or Spotify accounts
  • No personal viewing data is stored or transmitted

Amazon Hidden Gems

When you use our product recommendation features:

  • We do not require account creation
  • We do not track which products you view or click
  • Affiliate links are processed by Amazon, subject to their privacy policy

Email Subscription (Optional)

If you choose to sign up for email updates, we collect:

  • Your email address
  • Your subscription preferences

Anonymized Analytics

We may collect anonymized, aggregate metrics such as:

  • Page views and feature usage
  • Aggregate bubble score distributions
  • Device type and browser (non-identifying)

This data cannot be used to identify individuals or reconstruct personal viewing habits.

Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Your YouTube watch history
  • Your Spotify listening history
  • Your Amazon purchase history
  • Your account credentials for any third-party service
  • Your browsing history outside our site
  • Personal information beyond what you voluntarily provide

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and improve the Service
  • To send email updates if you subscribed
  • To analyze aggregate usage patterns
  • To respond to your inquiries

Affiliate Links and Third Parties

Our Service includes affiliate links to Amazon and potentially other retailers. When you click these links:

  • You leave our Service and visit the third-party site
  • The third party's privacy policy applies to your interaction with them
  • We may receive a commission for qualifying purchases
  • We do not receive personal information about your purchases

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:

  • Email providers: To deliver subscription emails (if you signed up)
  • Analytics providers: Anonymized usage data only
  • Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies necessary for the service to function:

  • Session management
  • Preference storage (e.g., theme settings)
  • Basic analytics (privacy-focused, no personal tracking)

We do not use tracking cookies, retargeting pixels, or invasive analytics tools.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any information we hold. Since most data processing happens locally in your browser, your sensitive data (watch history, listening history) is never exposed to network transmission risks.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access any personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time
  • Opt out of analytics tracking

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

International Users

Our Service is operated in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the US, your information may be transferred to and processed in the US. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
