Privacy Policy
Last Updated: [Date]
Welcome to Channelytics. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you when you use our website and services.
Information We Collect
We currently **do not** collect any personal identification information directly from users browsing the site or using the basic analytics tool.
- API Data: When you search for a channel, we use the YouTube Data API v3 to fetch publicly available data about that channel. We do not store your search queries permanently alongside any personal identifiers.
- Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage data (e.g., pages visited, features used) through standard web analytics tools (like Google Analytics, if implemented) to understand how our service is used and to improve it. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
- Contact Information: If you contact us via email or a contact form, we will collect the information you provide (e.g., name, email address, message) to respond to your inquiry.
Use of YouTube API Services
Channelytics uses YouTube API Services. By using our tool to access YouTube data, you are agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
We access public data provided by the API based on your search queries. We do not request or store private YouTube account information.

- To fetch and display the requested YouTube channel analytics.
- To respond to your comments, questions, and requests.
- To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our services (using anonymized data).

Data Security
We implement reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure.
