Terms of Service

Effective Date: 2026-05-20 · Last Updated: 2026-05-20

1. Agreement to Terms

Hooksight (the "Service") is operated by Beecom Inc. (주식회사 비컴), a company registered in the Republic of Korea (Business Registration Number 571-81-02187) ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Hooksight is an AI-powered analytics tool that extracts transcripts, captions, and metadata from publicly available short-form video content and provides insights for content creators and marketers. The Service provides:

Voice transcription via direct audio analysis (powered by Whisper), accurately handling dubbed, translated, or non-original-language videos by prioritizing the actual audio over caption metadata
On-screen text extraction (OCR) from video frames
Viral "hook" and retention pattern analysis
AI-powered script rewriting
Export in multiple formats (SRT, VTT, Excel)

Hooksight is a read-only analytics tool. It does not post, schedule, or automate any social media activity, and it does not generate or inflate engagement metrics.

3. Supported Platforms

The Service supports extracting content from publicly accessible short-form video URLs including YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels, and other public video platforms. Video retrieval is performed through authenticated third-party services (Bright Data). The Service does not require your platform credentials and does not access content that is not publicly accessible. Platform availability may change without notice due to third-party platform policy changes.

4. Accounts and Plans

5. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

Use the Service to extract content for illegal purposes
Attempt to circumvent rate limits or usage restrictions
Scrape, resell, or redistribute extracted content in bulk without rights
Use the Service to infringe on intellectual property rights
Submit malicious URLs or attempt to exploit the Service
Use the Service for spam, harassment, or automated mass content generation

6. Intellectual Property

Original content copyright belongs to the original creator. The Service extracts text from publicly available content for personal analysis and reference purposes.
Video source handling is transient. When the Service needs to download a video file for speech-to-text and on-screen OCR analysis, the file is processed in memory or on temporary disk and deleted immediately after text extraction completes. Video files are never cached, retained, or redistributed. Only the derived text outputs are stored in your account history.
AI-generated outputs (rewrite, viral score) are provided as-is. You are responsible for ensuring your use of rewritten content complies with applicable copyright and fair-use laws.
The Service does not claim ownership of extracted or rewritten content.
Korean users: transient copying for text extraction is intended to fall within the temporary reproduction exception (저작권법 §35의2) and fair-use analysis. You remain responsible for downstream use of extracted text under applicable law.

7. Third-Party Platform Access

Video retrieval from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram is performed through Bright Data, an authenticated third-party service that operates under its own platform agreements. The Service does not ask for, use, or store your credentials for any platform; only the submitted URL is sent. You are responsible for complying with the terms of service of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and any other third-party platform you access through the Service. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to any third-party platform.

8. AI Disclaimer

Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, language, and background noise. We do not guarantee 100% accuracy.
Viral scores are algorithmic estimates and do not guarantee actual content performance.
AI rewrite outputs may contain errors. Review all AI-generated content before use.
The Service uses third-party AI models subject to their respective terms.

9. DMCA and Copyright Claims
