Bouncy Nations Live

Privacy policy

Last updated

This policy explains what the Bouncy Nations Live stream reads from its live chats, what it keeps, and how to have your data deleted.

1. Who we are

Bouncy Nations Live is operated by Burak Taha Pekşen. You can contact us at [email protected].

2. Use of YouTube API Services

Bouncy Nations Live uses YouTube API Services to read the public live chat of our own YouTube channel. By interacting with the stream, you are also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

3. Whose Google account is connected

Only the channel owner’s own Google account is connected, with the read-only scope youtube.readonly. Viewers do not grant us any access to their accounts. The channel owner can revoke this access at any time at security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.

4. What we read from the live chat

From the live chat on YouTube, and on TikTok LIVE as well, we read:

  • The viewer’s public display name and platform user or channel ID.
  • Chat messages, only to detect votes and country names.
  • Paid or social events (Super Chat, Super Sticker, memberships, TikTok gifts, likes, follows and shares) with their tier or label.

5. What we store

We store the following only on the operator’s own computer:

  • For each viewer: user or channel ID, display name, chosen team (country), game points, and when the viewer was last seen.
  • A log of gifts and Super Chats: the time, display name, user ID, gift label and tier, and which country it supported.

We do not store the text of chat messages.

6. How we use it

We use this data to count votes, keep teams, compute points and leaderboards, and show display names on the live stream. Display names are filtered for offensive words. We use it for nothing else.

7. Sharing

We do not sell, rent or share this data with anyone, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling. Display names appear publicly on the stream and in on-screen leaderboards.

8. Retention and deletion

Viewers with no points who are inactive are removed automatically within about an hour. Other records are kept until deletion is requested.

Anyone can ask us to delete their data by emailing [email protected] with their display name and platform (YouTube or TikTok). We delete it within 30 days.

9. Children

The stream is not directed at children under 13.
