Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 16, 2026

01.Who we are

Contendeo.app ("Contendeo", "we", "us") is an AI video comprehension service delivered as a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector for Claude. The service is operated by Kartikya Dhiman as a sole proprietor based in India. You can reach us at official@contendeo.app.

This policy describes what personal data we collect when you use Contendeo, how we use it, and what rights you have over it.

02.What we collect

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to operate the service.

03.What we don't collect

04.Third-party services we use

Processing a video involves sending certain data to the following processors. Each one is covered by its own privacy policy — we only share what's necessary for the function listed.

Supabase
Authentication (Google OAuth) and PostgreSQL database hosting user accounts, credits, and job history.
Groq
Audio transcription via the Whisper large-v3 API. Receives the extracted audio track of a video during processing.
Anthropic
Visual analysis via the Claude Sonnet Vision API. Receives individual keyframes extracted from the video.
Razorpay
Payment processing for subscriptions and PAYG credit purchases. Handles card, UPI, and net-banking details directly — we never see them.
Apify
Instagram video fetching via the instagram-reel-scraper actor. Receives only the Instagram URL you submit.
Webshare
Proxy infrastructure used by the video downloader to reach certain platforms. Receives proxied HTTP requests to the source video host.
Redis
In-memory cache for analysis results, keyed by a hash of the normalized URL. Self-hosted alongside the server.
Hostinger
VPS infrastructure in Europe hosting the MCP server, Redis cache, and processing workers.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party outside the processors listed above.

05.Data retention

06.Cookies

Contendeo uses only the cookies strictly necessary to operate the service:

No advertising cookies. No analytics cookies. No cross-site tracking. We do not share cookie data with third parties.

07.Data location

08.Your rights

Regardless of where you are located, you can:

Quickest way to delete everything: email official@contendeo.app from your account email with the subject line "Delete my account" — we'll action it within 30 days and confirm when done.

09.GDPR and international users

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with similar data-protection regimes:

10.Security

We use TLS for all data in transit. Database access is restricted to the application server via Supabase's managed auth and row-level security. Payment processing is delegated to Razorpay, which is PCI-DSS compliant. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect account data and will notify affected users promptly in the event of a breach involving personal data.

11.Children

Contendeo is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

12.Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top of this page. For material changes that affect how we handle personal data, we'll make a reasonable effort to surface the change in-product. For minor clarifications or edits, we don't send email notifications — check the effective date if you want to know when the current version took effect.

13.Contact
