Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

FindTube.io ("we," "us," "our," or "Company") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices and how we handle information when you use our tool.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

FindTube.io operates on a principle of minimal data collection:

• We do not collect, store, or retain personal information about users
• We do not store search queries, YouTube data, or API responses
• We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
• We do not collect IP addresses for user identification or tracking
• We do not use analytics tools that track individual user behavior
• We do not create user profiles or accounts

3. How We Use the YouTube Data API

When you use our tool:

• Your search query is sent directly to YouTube's official API servers
• YouTube returns publicly available data about channels and videos
• This data is displayed to you immediately in your browser
• No data is stored on our servers or in any database
• No data is retained after you close your browser or navigate away

4. Server-Side Logging

Our servers may maintain basic technical logs (e.g., server errors, performance metrics) for system maintenance and security purposes only. These logs do not include personally identifiable information and are automatically purged according to standard retention policies.

5. Third-Party Services

Our tool relies on the following third-party services:

• YouTube Data API: Operated by Google. Your searches are subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Hosting Provider: Our infrastructure may be hosted by third-party providers. We ensure they comply with data protection regulations.

We do not share any user information with these providers beyond what is necessary for service operation.

6. GDPR Compliance (EU Users)

For users in the European Union, we comply fully with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• We only process data when you actively request it through our tool
• We do not process data beyond what is necessary to fulfill your request
• We do not retain data after processing
• You have the right to request information about any data we may process, though we collect minimal data

7. CCPA Compliance (California Users)

For California residents, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• We do not "sell" personal information as defined by CCPA
• You have the right to know what data we collect (minimal to none)
• You have the right to delete your data (though we retain no persistent user data)
• We do not discriminate against users for exercising their CCPA rights

8. Security

We maintain industry-standard security measures to protect data in transit and at rest. All communication with YouTube's API is encrypted using TLS/SSL. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but commit to maintaining best practices.

9. Children's Privacy

Our tool is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with information, we take steps to delete such information immediately.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our tool constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
