3) What Data We Collect

We may collect the following categories of data:

Website and service usage data (cookies, device/browser information, IP address).
Contact and account information you provide (e.g., name, email).
Google OAuth data received with your consent:
- openid, profile, email: Google Account ID (subject), basic profile information (name, avatar URL if available), and email address.
- YouTube Data API (read-only): channel identifiers, basic channel metadata, subscriptions list visibility (if applicable), playlists metadata, public video metadata, watch history visibility (if applicable), and other read-only YouTube resources permitted by youtube.readonly.
- YouTube Analytics API (read-only): aggregated analytics metrics (views, watch time, audience demographics, traffic sources, retention, revenue metrics if applicable) permitted by yt-analytics.readonly.

We do not request or store your Google password.

4) Purpose and Legal Basis of Processing

We process your data for the following purposes:

To authenticate you and create/manage your account using Google Sign-In (openid, profile, email).
To display and analyze your YouTube channel performance using read-only access to YouTube Data and YouTube Analytics APIs.
To provide dashboards, insights, and reports to you based on your channels' data.
To operate, maintain, secure, and improve our services (including debugging, fraud prevention, and usage analytics).
To communicate with you regarding service updates, support, and legal notices.

Legal bases under GDPR/FADP may include your consent (for connecting your Google account and channels), performance of a contract (providing features you request), legitimate interests (service improvement and security), and compliance with legal obligations.

5) Limited Use and Data Minimization

We use Google user data only to provide and improve user-facing features described in this policy:

We request only read-only scopes.
We do not sell Google user data.
We do not share Google user data with third parties except:
- As necessary to provide the service (e.g., secure hosting, analytics processors under contract),
- To comply with applicable laws or valid legal process,
- With your explicit consent.

We do not use Google user data for serving ads or for targeting unrelated products. We do not transfer Google user data to data brokers or for unrelated purposes.

6) Data Sharing and Transfers

Service providers (processors) may process data on our behalf under confidentiality and data protection obligations.
Data may be transferred to countries outside Switzerland/EEA where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses).
We may disclose data when legally required or to protect rights, safety, and security.

We do not disclose non-aggregated Google user data to the public. Any analytics shared externally are aggregated or anonymized.

7) Data Retention and Deletion

We retain Google OAuth tokens and related data only as long as needed to provide the service and for legitimate business needs (e.g., audit, security), then delete or irreversibly anonymize them.
If you disconnect your Google account or request deletion:
- We revoke tokens and stop data collection.
- We delete associated Google user data from our systems within 30 days, unless retention is required by law or to resolve disputes.
Cached reports and logs are purged on scheduled cycles consistent with the above.

You can request deletion at any time via info@adbounty.com or within the product (if a disconnect/remove account option is provided).

8) Your Controls and Choices

Consent and Access: You decide whether to connect your Google account and which channels to include.
Withdrawal: You may withdraw consent by disconnecting your Google account or emailing us. This will revoke access and initiate deletion of Google user data per Section 7.
Rights: Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal data, and object to processing. We may request proof of identity to process your request.

9) Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, secure key management, least-privilege access, monitoring, and regular security reviews.

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website and improve user experience. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings. See "Third-Party Cookies and Tracking Technologies" for details.

11) Google APIs and YouTube Developer Policies
