Who we are
Quick Throttle is made by Azynctra. For anything on this page, including a request to see or delete your data, email support@quickthrottle.app.
What stays on your computer
Everything you make in the app is kept in your workspace folder on your own machine. That's your brands and their facts, clips, hooks, slideshows, images, music, the research results and your notes. We never receive any of it, and there's no Quick Throttle account or server that holds it.
Your Gemini, Anthropic and TikTok keys are kept in the app's own settings file, outside the workspace. On Windows they're encrypted with your Windows login. Your TikTok login is encrypted too, with a key that never goes into the workspace, so a workspace folder you share doesn't share access to your account.
The website
quickthrottle.app, its blog and its free tools use PostHog to count visits. It records the pages you open, the buttons and links you click, how you arrived (the referring site and any campaign tags in the link), your browser, device type and rough location worked out from your IP address. It keeps a random visitor ID in your browser's local storage so repeat visits count once. It sets no cookies and records no screen recordings.
The free tools (the hook video, audio, mute and extract audio tools) process your video inside your browser. The video, its frames, its file name and anything you type never leave your computer.
The site is hosted by Netlify, which sees your IP address when it serves a page, as every web host does.
Buying and your license
Polar sells Quick Throttle as the merchant of record. Polar collects your name, email, billing address and payment details, handles tax and invoices, and sends us your order. Their own privacy policy covers what they do with it.
When you activate the desktop app, it sends Polar your license key, your computer's name and its operating system, so you can see which computers use your key and free one up. It checks the key with Polar about once a week. Your computer's name is whatever you or the manufacturer called it, which sometimes includes your first name.
The desktop app
The app sends anonymous usage and error reports to PostHog so we can see what breaks and which steps people get stuck on. These reports carry a random install ID made on your computer, and they're never linked to your name, email or license key. They include:
- the app version, your operating system and its version, and whether you're on the beta
- steps like launching the app, finishing setup, activating, a research run finishing or a post reaching TikTok, with counts but none of their content
- your setup answers about where you heard of Quick Throttle and which AI you use
- errors and crashes, with the error message and where in our code it happened
Before a report leaves, folder paths are trimmed to remove your user name, and keys and login codes are removed. Reports never include brand text, hooks, captions, file names, images or video. Turn off "Share anonymous usage and error reports" in Settings and nothing more is sent.
"Record my screen inside Quick Throttle" is a second switch in Settings, and it's off unless you turn it on. While it's on, PostHog records what the app's window shows so we can watch a bug happen. Text you type is hidden, but your brands, images and videos on screen are recorded.
The app also asks GitHub for new versions when it starts, which shows GitHub your IP address.
Services you connect yourself
Some features talk to other companies on your behalf, using your own keys or your own logins. We aren't part of those exchanges and receive nothing from them.
- Image generation goes to Google's Gemini API with your Gemini key. Google's terms apply.
- Your AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor or another) reads and writes through the app on your machine, under that company's terms.
- Posting to TikTok uses your own TikTok developer app and your TikTok login.
- Research reads TikTok in the app's own window while you're signed in to TikTok.
- Importing a slideshow sends its link to snaptik, tikwm or TikTok to fetch the pictures.
Research and other people's data
Research saves public TikTok handles, profile pictures, post numbers and comments on your computer. That data comes to you, never to us. You're responsible for using it in line with TikTok's terms and the privacy laws that apply to you.
Why we use it, and on what basis
- Selling you the app and checking your license is needed to give you what you bought (contract).
- Usage counts and error reports are how we fix bugs and improve the app. We rely on our legitimate interest in that, and you can switch them off at any time.
- Polar keeps order records because tax law requires it.
We don't sell data, we don't show ads, and we don't use any of this to build a profile of you.
Where it's stored and for how long
PostHog stores website and app reports in the United States, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. We keep them for up to 12 months. Polar keeps order records for as long as tax law requires.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to us using it. If you're in the EU, the UK or a similar jurisdiction, these are your legal rights, and you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
The app's reports aren't tied to you, so to have them deleted, send us the install ID shown in the app's Settings and we'll delete every report carrying it. For the website, clearing your browser's site data resets your visitor ID. For anything about your order, email us or contact Polar.
