Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you visit or interact with YT Crew (accessible via ytcrew.com), we may collect the following types of information:

• Voluntary Input Data: Information you enter into our tools, such as public YouTube video URLs, video timestamps, channel titles, or search keywords. This data is processed in real time to generate your requested output and is not permanently tied to your identity.
• Log & Device Data: Standard server logs, including your browser type, device operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, access timestamps, and anonymized IP addresses for security and performance monitoring.
• Analytics Metrics: Aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage statistics (e.g., page views, popular tools, time spent) to help us improve website functionality.
• Communications: Any message, feedback, or support inquiry you send to us via our contact form or support email.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected strictly for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, maintain, and optimize our 86+ free online tools.
• To respond to user inquiries, bug reports, and customer support requests.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical faults, security vulnerabilities, or abusive automated scraping.
• To understand overall usage trends to prioritize future tool development.

3. YouTube API Services & Third-Party Data

Certain YT Crew tools connect to YouTube API Services to fetch public channel and video metadata. By using these tools, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy .

YT Crew does not access, collect, or store private YouTube account data, private video drafts, or login credentials. All YouTube data fetched is publicly available and processed client-side or ephemerally server-side to fulfill your specific tool query.

4. Cookies and Web Technologies

YT Crew uses cookies and local browser storage to provide core user preferences (such as light/dark mode settings) and to ensure smooth performance.

We may also partner with third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) that use cookies, web beacons, or tracking technologies to serve relevant advertisements based on your visits to this and other websites. You may choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options.

5. Third-Party Services

We may employ third-party service providers to facilitate our website, such as cloud hosting providers (e.g., Supabase, Vercel), analytics partners, and advertising networks. These third parties have access to minimal data solely to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

6. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We employ industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including SSL/TLS encryption—to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

7. Your Rights & Choices (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have statutory rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Because most tools do not require accounts or store personal identities, we do not maintain profiles linked to individual users.

To exercise any applicable data privacy rights or ask questions, please reach out via our contact channels below.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect modifications in our tools, technology, or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes. Any updates become effective immediately upon posting to this page.
