This Privacy Policy explains how TubeTuner ("TubeTuner," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and safeguards information when you visit our websites, install our extensions or apps, connect your YouTube or Google account, or otherwise use our services (collectively, the Service). By using the Service, you agree to this Policy.

‍Scope. This Policy applies to information we process as a service provider for creators, teams, and organizations that use TubeTuner. It does not cover third-party platforms like YouTube/Google, which have their own policies.

Operator: TubeTuner
‍
Email: support@tubetuner.ai
‍
‍Legal entity disclosure. To reduce harassment and abuse risks, TubeTuner does not publicly list full corporate identity information in this document. We will provide legally required details (including registered entity name and service address) to customers upon reasonable request or where required by law, court order, or payment provider.

We collect the minimum data necessary to operate and improve the Service.

‍A. Account & contact data
‍
● Name, display name, email address, password (hashed), and account preferences.

B. Billing & transactions

● Subscription plan, invoices, and payment status. Card details are processed by our payment processor (we do not store full card numbers).

C. Service usage & device data

● Log data (IP address, timestamps, referrer/URL, user agent, language, crash reports), feature interactions, and approximate location derived from IP.

D. Content you submit

● Text you type into the Service (e.g., titles, descriptions, tags, prompts), uploaded files, and settings needed to provide suggestions.

E. YouTube/Google data (when you connect accounts)

● We access only the scopes you explicitly grant. This may include channel, video, and analytics metadata necessary for optimization suggestions (e.g., title/description/tags/thumbnail metadata, performance metrics). We do not read your Gmail content or contacts.

F. Cookies & similar technologies

● Cookies, local storage, and similar identifiers for authentication, security, preferences, analytics, and feature performance.

G. Support & communications

● Messages you send us (email, chat), plus related metadata.

We may receive information about you from third parties (e.g., sign-in providers, partners) consistent with your settings and their policies.

● Provide, operate, and secure the Service, including authentication and fraud prevention.

● Generate optimization suggestions and analytics; personalize features and content.

● Communicate with you about the Service, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages.

● Process billing, payments, and account management.

● Research and develop new features, troubleshoot, and improve performance.

● Comply with legal obligations, enforce terms, and prevent abuse.

We do not use your private YouTube data to build advertising profiles, for ad targeting, or to sell data.

When you connect a YouTube channel or Google account, TubeTuner may use YouTube API Services and Google OAuth. By enabling these features, you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google policies, including the Google Privacy Policy.

We follow Google’s API Services User Data Policy (Limited Use):

● We only access the minimum YouTube/Google data needed to provide requested features.

● We do not sell YouTube/Google data or transfer it to third parties for ads or marketing.

● Human access to Your YouTube/Google data is restricted and occurs only (i) with your explicit consent, (ii) for security or abuse investigations, (iii) to comply with law, or (iv) to maintain and improve the Service when data is aggregated/de-identified.

● You can revoke our access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Some features will stop working after revocation.

● If you request deletion of connected account data, we will delete OAuth tokens and related stored YouTube data, subject to legal retention requirements and system backups.

We use:

● Essential cookies for login, security, and core features.

● Preference cookies to remember settings.

● Analytics to understand usage and improve the Service (aggregated reporting).

● No third‑party ad cookies are used for targeted advertising.

Your controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may break the Service. Where required by law, we display a cookie banner and honor your choices.

Depending on the context:

● For your account, billing, and Service telemetry, TubeTuner is a data controller.

● For customer content you submit to be processed by the Service (e.g., titles, descriptions, metadata) and any connected platform data processed solely to provide the Service to you, TubeTuner acts as a data processor on your behalf.

A Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is available for eligible paid plans upon request.

● Contract: to provide the Service you request.

● Legitimate interests: to secure and improve the Service, prevent fraud, and communicate important updates.

● Consent: for optional features (e.g., certain cookies) where required.

● Legal obligation: to comply with laws, tax/financial recordkeeping, and lawful requests.

We share information only as needed to operate the Service:

● Service providers (processors): hosting, storage, security, analytics, email delivery, customer support, and payments—bound by confidentiality and data protection terms.

● At your direction: when you connect third-party services or collaborate with team members.

● Legal & safety: to comply with law, enforce terms, or protect rights, safety, and security.

● Business transfers: as part of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (we’ll continue to protect your information and notify you of material changes).

A list of sub‑processors is available upon request or may be posted at /legal/subprocessors.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising as defined by the CPRA.

Your information may be processed in countries other than the one you reside in. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect cross‑border transfers.

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal/financial obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. After your account is closed, we delete or anonymize data within a reasonable period, subject to backup retention and legal requirements.

We use administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect information, including encryption in transit, encryption at rest for sensitive data (such as OAuth tokens), least‑privilege access, and audit logging. No system is 100% secure; you are responsible for keeping your credentials safe and using strong passwords and MFA where available.

Email preferences. You can opt out of non‑essential emails via the unsubscribe link or in settings.

‍Access, correction, deletion, portability. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your information, and to object to or restrict processing. Contact support@tubetuner.ai to exercise these rights. We may ask for verification.

‍EEA/UK. You may also complain to your local Data Protection Authority.

‍California (CPRA). You have the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale/share (we do not sell/share), and the right to limit use of sensitive personal information (we do not use SPI for inferring characteristics). We will not discriminate for exercising rights. If our practices change, we will provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link.

‍Do Not Track. We do not respond to DNT signals at this time.

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

We use algorithms/AI to generate suggestions (e.g., titles, tags, descriptions). We do not use automated decision‑making that has legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight.

The Service may link to third‑party websites or services (e.g., YouTube). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for their practices.

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, technical, or operational reasons. If changes are material, we will provide notice (e.g., email or in‑app) and indicate a new effective date. Your continued use after the effective date means you accept the changes.
