Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how ViewTube collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the ViewTube website, creator tools, and related services.

ViewTube is an independent platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Google LLC or YouTube. Any references to third-party platforms are for descriptive purposes only.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including account credentials, email address, username, channel handle, profile details, uploaded videos, thumbnails, comments, and support messages.

We also collect platform activity data, such as views, likes, subscriptions, moderation outcomes, notifications, and interaction timestamps. Technical information such as IP address, browser details, and device metadata may be logged for security, abuse prevention, and reliability operations.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected data to provide and maintain the service, authenticate users, host and deliver content, personalize feeds, detect spam or policy violations, and enforce account safety controls including suspension workflows.

We may also use information for product improvements, analytics, debugging, legal compliance, and internal business operations.

3. Public vs Private Information

Public channel information and published videos may be visible to other users and visitors. Private account data such as authentication details and non-public contact information are treated as restricted and are not intentionally exposed publicly.

4. Sharing and Processors

We use third-party infrastructure vendors to operate ViewTube (for example hosting, authentication, storage, and email services). These providers process data on our behalf under contractual or operational controls required to run the platform.

We do not sell personal information for direct monetary compensation.

5. Content Moderation and Safety

ViewTube uses automated and manual moderation measures. Content that appears to violate policy may be removed, and accounts may receive strikes or suspension actions. Moderation records may be retained for trust and safety enforcement and legal requirements.

6. Data Retention

We retain data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, enforce platform rules, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and protect platform integrity. Retention periods may vary by data type and legal context.

7. Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect data. No security method is perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete certain personal information, or to request restrictions on processing. You may also manage some account information directly through your profile settings.

9. Children

ViewTube is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction. If we learn that prohibited child data has been collected, we may remove it and take account action.

10. Policy Updates

We may update this policy to reflect legal, technical, or product changes. Continued use of ViewTube after updates may constitute acceptance of the revised policy.
