Data Policy

Channel Radar fetches data from the YouTube Data API v3 and optionally the YouTube Analytics API on your behalf. This includes:

• Channel metadata: name, description, subscriber count, view count, video count.
• Video metadata: title, description, publish date, view count, like count, comment count.
• YouTube Analytics (OAuth only): Daily aggregates of views, watch time (minutes), average view duration, likes, and subscriber gains. Fetched only for channels you own and have explicitly authorized. Never fetched for competitor channels.

All data fetched is either publicly available or explicitly authorized by you via OAuth. We never access data beyond what is needed to operate the dashboard.

• All data stored in PostgreSQL via Supabase (AWS infrastructure).
• Encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+).
• YouTube API key: Encrypted using AES-256-GCM before storage. Plaintext value is never written to the database.
• OAuth refresh token: Encrypted using AES-256-GCM before storage. Used only to obtain access tokens when fetching analytics on your behalf. Never logged or exposed.
• Row-level security (RLS) ensures each user can only access their own data.
• Internal access to the database requires deliberate, multi-step effort — encrypted fields are unreadable without the encryption key, which is stored separately from the database.

• Manual sync: Available to all users on demand.
• Auto-sync (Pro): Configurable — daily or every 6/12 hours.
• Analytics cache: Temporary API responses stored for up to 48 hours, then automatically purged.
• Daily analytics history: Stored per channel per day, retained for up to 3 years.
• Deleted channels are removed from our database immediately.
• Upon account deletion, all data is purged within 30 days.

We do not share your data with any other third parties or use it for advertising.

Channel Radar's use of YouTube API Services complies with the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Data fetched via YouTube API Services is used solely to provide analytics within your dashboard and is never shared, sold, or used for any other purpose.

You can revoke Channel Radar's OAuth access to your YouTube account at any time via your Google Account permissions page.

• Export data: Download your video data as CSV from the Videos section at any time.
• Delete channel data: Removing a channel from Channel Radar immediately deletes all associated videos, stats, and analytics from our database.
• Delete account: Contact support@channelradar.in to request full account and data deletion. Completed within 30 days.

In the event of a data breach or service disruption, we will notify affected users within 72 hours. For any reported issues or bugs, our target resolution time is 24–48 hours.
