Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information SpikedChat ("we", "us") collects, why, and how you can ask us to delete it. It covers this website (spikedchat.com) and SpikedChat Publisher, our own internal tool that posts videos to SpikedChat's accounts on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram through their official APIs.
Who we are
SpikedChat is a clip channel that posts short videos of livestream moments. Contact: [email protected].
This website
- No accounts, no forms, no cookies, no analytics or advertising trackers.
- The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical request data (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver the pages and protect against abuse, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. We do not use this data.
- If you email us, we keep your email and message only to reply and handle your request.
SpikedChat Publisher (our posting tool)
SpikedChat Publisher is not a public app. It is used only by SpikedChat to manage SpikedChat's own accounts. When we connect our accounts, the platforms (Google/YouTube, TikTok, Meta/Instagram) share the following with the tool:
| Data | Why we use it |
|---|---|
| Access and refresh tokens for our own accounts | To upload our videos and read their statistics. Stored only on our own computer, in the operating system's credential store. |
| Basic account info of our own accounts (account ID, username, display name, profile picture) | To know which of our accounts a post belongs to. |
| Our own videos and their public statistics (views, likes, comments and shares counts, watch time) | To decide which clips work and when to post. |
We do not collect information about other people's accounts, we do not read private messages, and we do not store the content of comments. We do not sell, rent or share this data with anyone, and we do not use it for advertising. It stays on our own computer, except that finished video files may be placed briefly on our cloud storage (Cloudflare R2) so a platform can fetch them; those files are deleted within 7 days.
People shown in our clips
Our clips show livestreamers who run an official clipping campaign or gave us written permission. Streamers, or anyone who appears in a clip, can ask us to remove a clip by emailing [email protected].
How long we keep data
- Tokens: until we disconnect the account or access is revoked, then they are deleted.
- Video statistics: as long as they are useful to improve our clips, at most 3 years.
- Emails: as long as needed to handle the request.
Your choices and deleting data
To ask what we hold about you, or to have it deleted, email [email protected] with the subject "Data deletion". We delete it within 30 days and confirm by email. Full steps are on our data deletion page. You can also remove SpikedChat Publisher's access at any time in your platform settings: Google, TikTok (Settings and privacy > Security > Apps and services), and Instagram (Settings > Website permissions > Apps and websites).
Platform policies
Our use of YouTube API Services is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. TikTok and Instagram data is also governed by TikTok's privacy policy and Meta's privacy policy.
Children
This site and our tool are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If we change this policy, we update the date at the top of this page.
