1. Introduction

It Just Works Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of users of our website, starzero.ai (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

Our Service utilizes advanced AI technologies, including vision-language models (VLMs) like Gemini, to process and analyze video content. Key features include:

  • Video Processing: We process your videos to enable natural language search and interaction.
  • Face Detection: Our Service includes advanced face detection capabilities that generate secure, anonymized representations of faces in your videos. These representations are used solely to enable similarity-based search within your own content and do not involve personal identification or facial recognition.
  • Speech-to-Text: We provide speech-to-text processing for your videos, generating transcripts that enhance searchability and accessibility.
  • Chat Interaction: You can interact with your video content through a chat interface powered by our tools and integrated with Gemini.

This Service allows you to upload your video library and make it searchable and interactive using large vision-language models (VLMs), such as Gemini. We understand that your video content may contain sensitive information, and we take your privacy seriously.
