Privacy

Information we process

Depending on how you use AfterStream, this can include:

• Account information — your email address, display name, username, biography if you add one, and an avatar image if you upload one.
• Private beta signup information — if you join the private beta waitlist, we collect your email address, the time you signed up, your signup status, the version of the signup notice you agreed to, and information about how you reached the website, such as campaign parameters, referring page, and landing page when available.
• Sign-in and session information — a signed sign-in link sent to your email, and a session cookie that keeps you signed in.
• Connected-platform information — if you connect a Twitch or Kick account, your provider identity and access tokens for that connection.
• Streams you submit — the VOD URL, platform, stream title, streamer name, and duration for streams you submit for processing.
• Chat and audience data — chat messages and aggregate chat statistics, such as message counts and top emotes, from the streams you submit.
• Generated content — clips, thumbnails, highlight details, and AI-generated content such as summaries, explanations, titles, hooks, and captions created from your streams.
• Communications — email correspondence such as private beta waitlist acknowledgements, private beta invitations, sign-in links, and, if enabled, processing notifications.

How we use this information

• To create and secure your account, and keep you signed in.
• To process the streams you submit — analyzing chat activity, detecting highlight moments, and generating clips, thumbnails, and AI content.
• To connect your Twitch or Kick account when you choose to, and to disconnect it when you ask.
• To send you sign-in emails and, if enabled, notifications about your stream processing.
• To manage the private beta waitlist and contact you about private beta access.
• To understand which campaigns and referral sources lead people to join the private beta.

AI processing

AfterStream uses OpenAI to help generate stream summaries, highlight explanations, and content suggestions such as titles, hooks, and captions. To do this, AfterStream sends stream metadata (such as platform, title, and duration) and aggregate chat statistics (such as message counts and top emotes) to OpenAI — not full chat transcripts or your raw video.

For more detail on how AfterStream uses AI, see the Data & AI page.

Cookies and analytics

AfterStream uses an essential session cookie to keep you signed in after you use a sign-in link. This cookie is HttpOnly, marked Secure in production, uses the SameSite=Lax setting, and expires automatically.

On the AfterStream website, you can also choose to allow optional analytics. If you allow analytics, AfterStream uses Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the website, including page visits and interactions with parts of the site. Google Analytics may use first-party analytics cookies for this purpose. Analytics is not loaded unless you allow it.

You can change your analytics choice at any time using the Analytics control in the website footer. AfterStream does not use analytics information for advertising and does not sell your information.

Service providers

AfterStream works with a small number of service providers to operate the product:

• Cloudflare — to host parts of the AfterStream website infrastructure, store private beta signup records, and help protect the signup form from automated abuse using Cloudflare Turnstile.
• OpenAI — to generate stream summaries, highlight explanations, and content suggestions.
• Resend — to deliver private beta waitlist acknowledgements, private beta invitations, sign-in emails, and processing notifications.
• Google Analytics — if you allow optional analytics, to help understand website traffic and how visitors interact with the AfterStream website.
• Twitch and Kick — to support account connections and stream submissions from those platforms.

AfterStream does not sell your information.

Your choices and control

• Connecting Twitch or Kick is optional — you can submit a VOD directly, and disconnect a connected platform at any time.
• You can preview, edit, and delete individual highlights, and download the clips AfterStream generates.
• You can delete a stream you've submitted, which removes it and its associated highlights from AfterStream.
• You can permanently delete your AfterStream account. This removes your account, connected-platform records, notification preferences, and your submitted streams from AfterStream.
• If you join the private beta and later want your waitlist information removed, you can contact AfterStream using the email address below.

Security

AfterStream encrypts Twitch and Kick connection tokens before storing them, and keeps your sign-in session in an HttpOnly cookie rather than exposing it to page scripts.
