Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information adiya.dev ("we", "us") handles through this website, our channels, and the publishing tools we use to run them. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.
This website
This website has no accounts, forms, cookies, analytics or advertising. Our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, browser type, page requested, time) to keep the site secure and working. Logs are deleted after a short period and are not used to identify you. The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which processes these requests under its own privacy policy.
If you contact us
If you email us, we keep your email address and message only to reply and keep a record of the conversation. We don't add you to any mailing list or share your details.
Our publishing tools and the YouTube API Services
We use our own internal software to upload, schedule and manage videos on our own YouTube channels and to read their performance statistics. It uses the YouTube API Services. It is used only by adiya.dev on channels we own. It is not offered to the public, and it does not access other people's YouTube accounts.
- What it accesses: our own channels' videos, playlists, video details and YouTube Analytics reports. Public comments and channel names visible on our videos may be read in order to moderate and reply to them.
- How it is used: only to publish and manage our videos and to understand how they perform.
- Storage: access tokens and statistics are stored on our own private servers, with access restricted to us.
- Sharing: we do not sell, rent or share this data with anyone, and do not use it for advertising.
- Retention and deletion: statistics about our own channels are kept only as long as we need them to run the channels. Any other data from the YouTube API Services, such as public comments, is refreshed or deleted within 30 days. Email us to ask us to delete anything we hold about you.
Use of the YouTube API Services is subject to the Google Privacy Policy. A Google account holder who has granted our software access can revoke it at any time through Google's security settings.
Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest
We also post to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest accounts that we own or manage, using those platforms' own tools and APIs on accounts we own. We read only our own accounts' content and statistics, and handle that data the same way as above. Each platform's own privacy policy applies when you use it.
Children
Our content is made for a general audience, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete any personal information we hold about you. If you're unhappy with how we've handled it, contact us first. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
