This Privacy Policy explains how ChannelBirthday ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at www.channelbirthday.com (the "Service"), handles information when you use our website.

1. Information we handle

  • Search input: the channel name, handle, or URL you submit so we can return a result.
  • Publicly available channel information: details that YouTube already makes public about a channel (such as name, logo, banner, subscriber/view/video counts, and creation date).
  • Technical data: approximate location (derived from IP), device type, browser, referring page, and pages viewed. This is collected via standard server logs and analytics tools.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see section 3.

We do not require an account, and we do not knowingly collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other directly identifying personal information unless you choose to send them to us (for example, by emailing the address in section 9).

  • To measure traffic, understand usage patterns, and diagnose issues.
  • To display advertising and measure its performance.
  • To prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Cookies and tracking technologies

We and our partners use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for purposes including:

  • Strictly necessary: required for the site to function.
  • Analytics: to understand aggregate usage.
  • Advertising: to deliver and measure ads, including by Google as a third-party vendor (Google AdSense). Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Users may opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

5. Third-party services

We rely on reputable third-party providers to host the Service, measure usage, and display advertising. These providers may receive information about you under their own privacy policies. Channel information displayed on the Service is sourced from public YouTube data and is subject to YouTube's Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

6. Data retention

We retain information only for as long as is necessary to operate the Service, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Aggregated or de-identified information may be kept for longer.
