What we collect
Account data. Your email address, display name, and the authentication identifiers our auth partner issues. We never see or store your password.
Session media. The camera and microphone you record, and the source video you react to. Media is captured in your browser, uploaded in chunks while you record, stored in object storage we operate, and processed by our render workers to produce the composite, the isolated tracks and any project files.
Session metadata. The timeline of your recording — when you played, paused and seeked the source — plus layout, resolution and export choices. This is what makes a take reproducible in a different layout later, so it lives as long as the session does.
Transcripts. If you enable captions, the audio is sent to our transcription partner and the resulting text is stored with the session.
Usage and device data. Standard web logs — IP address, user agent, timestamps, pages viewed — and product analytics about which parts of the studio you use.
Billing data. Our payment processor handles the card. We store your customer ID, plan tier and subscription status. We never receive your card number.
How we use it
To run the service: authenticate you, record and render your sessions, generate the captions and project files you ask for, send transactional email such as receipts and service notices, enforce plan limits, prevent abuse, and work out which parts of the product are broken.
We do not sell your data, we do not use your recordings to train models, and we do not share media with anyone except the subprocessors listed below, each of which needs it to deliver a specific part of the service.
How long we keep your media
This is the part of the policy most likely to actually affect you, so it is stated plainly rather than buried.
On Free, recordings and exports are permanently deleted 24 hours after they are created. Download them before then, or upgrade to keep them.
Persistent storage is a paid feature. That is not a dark pattern hidden in a policy — the 24-hour countdown is shown on the storage meter and on every asset in your dashboard, and the download button is right next to it.
| Plan | What happens to your recordings and exports |
|---|---|
| Free | Permanently deleted 24 hours after they are created. Storage quota 2 GB. |
| Pro trial (3 days) | Runs as a Pro subscription in its free-trial period, so Pro retention applies from day 0. Cancel before the trial ends and the account becomes Free — the 24-hour rule then applies to new media. |
| Pro (and legacy paid tiers) | Kept until you delete them. Nothing is auto-deleted while you are subscribed. Storage quota 50 GB. |
Hitting a storage quota does not delete anything. It pauses new uploads and renders until you clear space. We do not free up room by removing a paying customer’s media.
If a paid subscription ends, we email you before anything is removed and give you a clearly stated window to download what you have. We do not silently delete a former customer’s recordings.
When you delete something, it disappears from the app immediately and is purged from object storage and from our backups within 30 days. Deleting your account does the same for everything in it.
Everything else. Server logs are kept for 30 days. Billing records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires, which is longer than any of the above and is not something we can shorten on request.
Who else touches your data
These are the companies that process data on our behalf to deliver OverReact. Each one handles it under its own terms and privacy policy.
| Subprocessor | What it does for us |
|---|---|
| Clerk | Authentication, sessions and account identity |
| LiveKit | Real-time media transport for guests and AirCam |
| Amazon Web Services (S3) | Object storage for raw chunks, renders and exports |
| Deepgram | Speech-to-text when you enable captions |
| Stripe | Payments, subscriptions and the billing portal |
If we add a subprocessor that processes session media, we will update this list before it starts processing anything.
Your rights
You can access, export, correct or delete your personal data at any time. Sessions and exports can be downloaded and deleted from your dashboard without asking us. For anything that is not a button in the product, email hello@overreact.tv from the address on the account.
If you are in the EEA, the UK or California you also have rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA respectively — including the right to object to processing, the right to data portability, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.
Children
OverReact is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, tell us and we will remove it.
Where your data lives
Storage and processing happen primarily in the United States. If you use OverReact from outside the US, your data is transferred there.
Changes to this policy
If we make a material change we will email you at least 7 days before it takes effect. The effective date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
