Welcome to YouTube Organizer. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our service.

Our Privacy Commitment

Your data is confidential and belongs to you. We are committed to:

• Never selling your data to third parties, advertisers, or data brokers
• Never using your data for advertising purposes or targeted marketing
• Never profiting from your personal information in any way
• Using your data solely to provide you with the YouTube organization service
• Keeping your data secure with industry-standard encryption and security practices
• Giving you full control over your data, including the right to access, export, and delete it at any time

We believe your YouTube organization preferences should remain private. Our business model is based on providing a valuable service, not on monetizing your personal data.

Information We Collect

When you use YouTube Organizer, we collect and process the following information:

• YouTube Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we access your YouTube account data including your subscriptions, playlists, liked videos, and uploaded videos.
• Video Metadata: We retrieve video titles, thumbnails, descriptions, publication dates, and channel information from your YouTube account.

• Provide video playback functionality within the application
• Save your preferences and organizational structure locally on your device

Data Storage and Security

Secure Cloud Storage: Your organizational data (categories, preferences, video organization) is securely stored and synced across your devices using Firebase, Google's cloud database platform. This allows you to access your organized content from any device.

Local + Cloud Storage: Data is stored both locally in your browser (for quick access and offline support) and in Firebase Cloud Firestore (for cross-device synchronization). All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

User Isolation: Your data is isolated using your unique YouTube Channel ID as an identifier. Only you can access your data. We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication, which means we don't store any additional personal information beyond what's necessary for the service to function.

No Commercial Use: We will NEVER sell your data, share it with third parties for advertising purposes, or use it to profit in any way. Your data is confidential and used solely to provide you with the YouTube organization service.

Google OAuth: Authentication with YouTube is handled securely through Google's OAuth 2.0 system. Your Google password is never shared with or accessible to YouTube Organizer.

Third-Party Services

YouTube Organizer uses the following third-party services:

• YouTube Data API v3: To access and display your YouTube data. This service is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google OAuth 2.0: For secure authentication with YouTube. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Firebase (Google Cloud): For secure cloud storage and synchronization of your organizational data across devices. Firebase is operated by Google and subject to Firebase's Privacy and Security Policy.

We do not share your data with any other third parties for advertising, marketing, or commercial purposes. Your data remains confidential and is used solely to provide the YouTube organization service. All interactions with YouTube data are governed by YouTube's Terms of Service.

• Clear your browser's local storage (clears local copy; cloud data remains)
• Clear your browser cache and cookies (clears local copy; cloud data remains)

Data Deletion

You have full control over your data. To delete your data:

Delete Local Data: Click the "Sign Out" button in the application or clear your browser's local storage. This removes data from your current device but preserves your cloud data for access from other devices.

Delete Cloud Data: To permanently delete all your data from Firebase cloud storage, email us at syntropydevs@gmail.com with:

• Your YouTube Channel ID (visible in the app after signing in)
• Subject line: "Data Deletion Request"
• We will confirm deletion within 30 days

Revoke Access: You can also revoke the application's access to your YouTube account at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. This prevents future access but does not automatically delete your cloud data.

Once cloud data is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Local browser data deletion is reversible by signing in again (if cloud data still exists).
