Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of Decode My Feed (the “Service”), a website that reads a YouTube watch history export in your browser and shows you patterns in it. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Decode My Feed reads your YouTube watch history — from our Chrome extension or a Google Takeout export — and shows you patterns in your viewing. It is free to use and requires no account. The analysis runs entirely in your browser: your history is not uploaded to us, and we do not generate the interpretation ourselves. The Service also assembles a text prompt summarising your figures, which you may choose to copy into a third-party AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude. If you do, that is a communication between you and that provider under their terms, not ours. How we handle data is described in our Privacy Policy.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) to use the Service. By using it, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
3. Your responsibilities
By using the Service, you agree that:
- you have the right to upload the file you provide, and it is your own watch history or data you are otherwise authorized to use;
- you will not attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its underlying infrastructure; and
- you will not use the Service to violate any applicable law or the rights of others.
4. Automated insights
The figures shown to you are calculated automatically from your watch history. Topic labels in particular are assigned by keyword matching on titles and channel names, in English only; they are approximate by design, and the Service reports how much of your history it could classify. Figures may be incomplete or wrong.
Anything an AI assistant tells you after you paste our prompt into it is produced by that assistant, not by us. We do not see it, review it, or control it. Whether it comes from us or from an assistant, this material is provided for personal interest and reflection only. It is not professional, psychological, medical, financial, or other advice, and you should not rely on it as a statement of fact about yourself or anyone else.
5. Payment
The Service is currently free to use. There is no fee, no subscription and no account, and we do not collect card details or process payments. We may introduce paid features in future; if we do, they will be clearly identified as such before you are asked to pay for anything, and these Terms will be updated first.
A third-party AI assistant you choose to use with our prompt may have its own free and paid tiers. Any such charge is between you and that provider.
6. Third-party services
The Service depends on third parties for extension distribution, cloud infrastructure, site hosting and error logging. Those providers perform only the functions described in our Privacy Policy. Your direct use of a provider’s service may also be subject to its own terms.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, including its design, text, and branding, belongs to us. The report generated from your data is yours to keep and use. These Terms do not grant you any rights in our trademarks or in the underlying software.
8. Availability
The Service is provided as-is. We may change, suspend, or discontinue it — in whole or in part — at any time without notice. We do not guarantee that it will always be available or error-free.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your expectations or that its analysis will be accurate or complete.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Because the Service is provided free of charge, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (currently nothing) and USD 50.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Alberta, Canada. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer protections available to you under the law of your country or province of residence.
