Youtubeast Privacy Policy

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our app.

We DO NOT store any information received from Google API data on our server or transfer to any third-party. All user's personal information are only stored and processed inside the app installed on user's device.

We DO NOT directly or indirectly collect any information from you since we are just a third-party that relies on the Google API Data.

We only use your information for in-app display (at upper right section of the app) to show who is currently logged in. The rest, all the content personalization and curation is done by Google.

The entity that is requesting Google user data is Youtubeast, a Windows 10 native store app.

Youtubeast uses a scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube which allows the app to view and manage your videos, playlists and YouTube activity, including posting public comments (only with users' initiation). Youtubeast uses the aforementioned scope to show the personalized content for you such as your home activities, playlists, subscribed channels, rating for the video and liked videos in the app.

Youtubeast uses the data to show you personalized contents in the app and provide a few basic funtionalities such as rating a video (like or dislike), creating a new playlist, adding a video to playlist and etc. All functionalities with write permission to your Youtube account will NEVER be triggered automatically or in the background without user's prior initiation, consent and awareness.

Your personal information is contained behind secured Universal Windows Application's encryption also known as UWP Sandbox.

All app's functions are executed on user's device and the app DOES NOT store or processe user's information on the server.

Youtubeast is a native Windows application installed on your device. It does not use any web technologies. So we DO NOT use 'cookies'. HELL NO!

We DO NOT sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information.

We include an optional feature in the app to watch the video in third-party apps by passing a public video ID to the linked apps. We DO NOT transfer or expose any of your Personally Identifiable Information to these apps. These third-party apps have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked apps. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our app and welcome any feedback about these apps.

Google's advertising requirements can be summed up by Google's Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users. For more information visit Google Ads policies

We DO NOT use Google AdSense in our app.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

Users can use our app anonymously.

Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our app.

Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy' and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page and you can change your personal information by logging in to your Google account. You need to change this information on the first-party platform which is Google. Youtubeast does not store your information.
