We do not require account registration or collect personal information directly. However, the following data may be processed:

• Usage data — pages visited, referrer URLs, browser type, and device type, collected automatically via server logs or analytics.
• Public social data — we ingest publicly available posts from X (Twitter) and YouTube comments to generate sentiment analysis and buzz scores. No private or authenticated social data is accessed.

We use the data described above to:

• Display entertainment buzz scores, sentiment summaries, and trending content.
• Improve site performance and user experience.
• Detect and prevent abuse or misuse of the platform.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties.

We use the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

We use a single session cookie strictly for the purpose of authenticating the admin panel. This cookie is not used for tracking or advertising. No third-party tracking cookies are set.

Social post data ingested for analysis is retained in our database and used solely to compute aggregate scores and summaries. We do not store individual user profiles linked to posts. Aggregate metrics may be retained indefinitely.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), or similar laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete data held about you. Since we do not collect personal accounts, most rights apply to usage data only.
