LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2026 • Effective Date: October 2026 • Brand / Startup: Adung

Welcome to Adung ("we", "us", "our"). We are an independent, bootstrapped software startup based in Vietnam, operating the website https://adung.top and developing YouTube Adung Commercial desktop workstation software.

Your privacy and intellectual property are our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy explains our transparent data practices, our local-first privacy architecture, and how we handle user information in compliance with international privacy standards.

1. Core Architecture: Local-First Privacy Guarantee

🔒 Local-First Security Principle

YouTube Adung Commercial is engineered as a local-first desktop application. Your proprietary research data, video scripts, competitor watchlists, and AI credentials stay on your machine. We do not operate cloud databases that ingest or harvest your creative work.

Specifically:

  • API Credentials: Your private API keys (Anthropic Claude API, Google Gemini API, YouTube Data API v3) are stored strictly on your local PC. On Windows, they are encrypted using hardware-backed DPAPI (Data Protection API) with AES-256. They are never sent to Adung servers.
  • Research & Scripts: All video scripts, keyword caches, and analytical reports generated in the app are saved exclusively to your local SQLite databases and local disk.

2. Information We Collect and Process

We collect only the minimal data required to provide legitimate software licensing and customer support:

  • Licensing & Entitlement Data: When activating YouTube Adung Commercial, the application contacts our Supabase authentication gateway to verify your license key and an irreversible, anonymized Hardware Identifier (HWID hash). This ensures one-device-per-license integrity and anti-piracy protection.
  • Direct Communications: If you contact us via email ([email protected]), Telegram, or Zalo, we retain your message and contact details solely to deliver technical support and license fulfillment.
  • Website Analytics: Our public website (adung.top) utilizes Google Analytics 4 to aggregate anonymous traffic statistics (such as page views, visitor country, and browser type) to improve user experience. No personal identifying information is stored.

3. Third-Party AI Services & APIs

When you use AI-assisted capabilities within YouTube Adung Commercial (such as Claude AI script synthesis or Gemini title ideation), the request is transmitted directly from your client machine to the designated provider's official API endpoint:

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses standard essential cookies and Google Analytics measurement tags. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Doing so will not impair your ability to download our desktop software.

5. Data Retention & International Compliance (GDPR & CCPA)

We respect your privacy rights under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • Right to Access & Portability: You may request a copy of the license records associated with your account.
  • Right to Rectification & Erasure: You may request the deletion or hardware re-binding of your license records at any time by emailing us.
  • No Sale of Personal Data: We never sell, rent, monetize, or broker personal or usage data to third-party advertisers.

6. Security Measures

We employ modern security safeguards, including TLS 1.3 encryption across all web endpoints, encrypted licensing handshakes, and strict least-privilege administrative access.
