These third parties have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

6. Subtitle Functionality Specifics

Important Clarification About JAV Sites

SubPilot adds subtitles to videos on JAV (Japanese Adult Video) sites. It is critical to understand:

  • We do not host, upload, or promote any video content
  • We do not modify or alter video content in any way
  • Our service is limited to subtitle display and enhancement only
  • We do not collect information about the specific videos you watch
  • Subtitle matching is done based on public databases and does not involve tracking viewing habits

6.1 How Subtitle Matching Works

When you visit a supported video site, SubPilot:

  1. Identifies the website domain to determine if subtitles are available
  2. Checks our subtitle database for matching content (based on public information)
  3. Loads appropriate subtitles if available
  4. Applies your preferred styling and synchronization settings

This process does not involve collecting or transmitting information about the specific video content you are watching.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: You can request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion: You can request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt-out: You can opt-out of marketing communications at any time
  • Data Portability: You can request a copy of your data in a structured format
