Fanout privacy policy
Last updated:
If the English and Vietnamese versions differ, the Vietnamese version applies.
1. Scope
This page summarizes the privacy part of the Fanout Terms of Use (section 3). The full Terms are shown when you install and first open Fanout, and you must accept them to use the app.
2. ByteTCore does not collect your data
- No ByteTCore server and no ByteTCore account. Fanout sends nothing to ByteTCore.
- No analytics, telemetry, automatic crash reports, ads or automatic updates.
- The interface loads nothing from the Internet, and the app window cannot open outside web pages.
- ByteTCore cannot see or recover your data.
3. What Fanout stores on your computer
Everything stays in the folder where Fanout is installed:
| Data | Location | Encrypted |
|---|---|---|
| Settings, including which Terms version you accepted and when | fanout.db | No |
| Flows: file paths, titles, descriptions, tags, schedules, target accounts, voice-over scripts | fanout.db | No |
| Run history and in-app log | fanout.db | No |
| Post ledger: SHA-256 fingerprint of each video (not the video), platform, post link, time | fanout.db | No |
| Facebook App ID / Google Client ID | fanout.db | No |
| App Secret, Client Secret and access tokens | fanout.db | Yes, Windows DPAPI |
| Connected Pages and channels: name, id, status | fanout.db | No |
| Edited videos, thumbnails, frame strips, voice-over audio and models | clips, thumbnails, filmstrips, voices, models\tts | No |
| Technical log, about 5 MB × 5 files, secrets scrubbed | logs\fanout.log | No |
Encrypted secrets are tied to your Windows account and cannot be decrypted on another computer. Everything else can be read by anyone who can use your Windows account.
4. When Fanout goes online
Only when you do something that needs it:
| Service | When | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Facebook (Meta) | Connect a Page, check a connection, post | Your App ID, App Secret, login code; then video, title, description, posting mode, schedule, AI-content label, Page token |
| Google (YouTube) | Connect a channel, check, load categories, post | Client ID, Client Secret, login code; then video, metadata, visibility, audience and AI declarations, thumbnail |
| GitHub, Hugging Face | You download a voice-over model | Only the file request; the server sees your IP |
| Microsoft | The installer finds WebView2 missing | WebView2 download |
Data you send to Facebook or Google is handled under their terms and privacy policies, not ByteTCore’s.
5. What Fanout can access
- Only files and folders you pick. No drive scanning.
- No microphone, camera or location.
- RAM, GPU, free disk space, CPU features and Windows language, to suggest a voice-over model. Never sent.
- During login, a small local server on 127.0.0.1 receives the login code, then closes (after the code arrives, on cancel, or after 5 minutes).
- Clipboard only when you press Copy or paste a script. Windows notifications when a run ends (can be turned off).
6. Cookies
Fanout sets no cookies and uses no tracking identifiers. Facebook and Google login pages open in your own browser, where those services set their own cookies under their own policies. Fanout cannot read your browser’s cookies.
7. Voices made from recordings
When you create a voice from a recording, Fanout processes 3–8 seconds of the file on your computer and stores a voice profile that can roughly rebuild the sample. Treat it like the recording itself. Only create a voice from your own voice or from someone who clearly agreed. Impersonation, fraud and deepfakes are prohibited. Delete voices any time in Settings → My voices.
8. Other people’s data
When you put other people’s images, voices or names in a video and post it, you decide how that data is used. You are responsible for following Law No. 91/2025/QH15, Decree 356/2025/ND-CP and related rules, including getting consent where required.
9. Your control and deleting data
- Remove an account in Settings → Platforms. This deletes its tokens from Fanout but does not revoke access on Facebook or Google; do that in your account’s security settings.
- Deleting a flow deletes its run history; the post ledger keeps video fingerprints to warn about duplicates.
- Settings → Storage → Clean now removes unused cache files.
- To delete everything, quit Fanout and delete the whole install folder.
- Posts already published can only be deleted on the platform.
10. Age and backups
Fanout is for people aged 18 or over; under 18 only with a parent or guardian’s consent and supervision. ByteTCore keeps no copy of your data, so back up the install folder yourself.
