BrokenTube ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our Service (BrokenTube.com).

1. Information We Collect

A. Account & Registration Data

  • When you register using Email/Password, we collect your email address, name, and hashed password.
  • When you register using Google Login, we collect your Google Account Email Address, Name, and Profile Picture URL. We do not store your Google password.

B. YouTube API Data & Channel Access

  • When you connect your YouTube channel using Google OAuth, we gain read-only access to specific metadata.
  • Data Accessed: Your channel's basic statistics (subscriber count, video count), and the metadata of your public videos (titles, descriptions, tags, and link URLs).
  • Purpose: We access this data strictly to perform our core service: scanning your video descriptions for broken and redirected affiliate links and generating SEO/Audit reports on your dashboard.

C. Transaction & Payment Data

  • For paid plans, we collect the amount, plan type, and transaction status.
  • We DO NOT store your credit card details or crypto wallet private keys. All payment processing is handled by third-party payment processors (e.g., Cryptomus).

2. Google API Limited Use Disclosure (IMPORTANT)

BrokenTube's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specifically:

  • We do not use Google/YouTube user data to develop, improve, or train generalized AI and/or machine learning models.
  • We do not transfer or share Google/YouTube user data with any third-party AI providers, advertisers, or data brokers.

3. Data Retention & Deletion

  • We retain your personal data and scanned data for as long as your account is active.
  • You can delete your account at any time via the Settings > Account tab. All associated personal data, scanned reports, and channel connections will be permanently deleted within 30 days of a successful deletion request.
  • You can revoke our access to your Google/YouTube data at any time via the Google security settings page.

4. Data Sharing & Security

  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We share non-Google account data (such as billing emails) only with trusted third parties strictly necessary to operate our service (e.g., payment processors).
  • All sensitive data, including YouTube Refresh Tokens, are encrypted using Fernet Encryption before being securely stored in our database.

Data Sharing & AI Third-Party Services

To provide our advanced AI features (such as the AI Optimizer and AI Channel Audit), we share specific, non-personally identifiable Google user data (such as YouTube video titles and descriptions) with our trusted AI service provider: Groq API.

We do not share your private Google account details, passwords, or personal email addresses with this AI service.

The data shared with Groq API is used strictly for generating SEO recommendations and channel audits and is not used to train generalized machine learning models.
