Privacy Policy

Ready Set Clicks ("we", "us") operates the Ready Set Clicks Audit tool (the "Service"), an internal YouTube channel analysis tool used by Ready Set Clicks to produce channel audits and growth reports for its clients. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how to remove it.

• Clients and prospects whose public YouTube channel data we analyze.
• Connected channel owners who sign in with Google to grant us read access to their own YouTube analytics.

Public YouTube data. Channel name, handle, channel ID, subscriber count, view count, video count, video titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, publish dates, durations, and public view/like/comment counts. Retrieved through the YouTube Data API v3 and requires no sign-in.

Authorized YouTube account data. If you connect your channel with Google, we retrieve, through the YouTube Analytics API, reports about your own channel only: views, watch time, average view duration and retention, traffic sources, impressions and click-through rate where available, subscriber changes, demographics in aggregate, and — where you have granted it — estimated revenue metrics such as RPM and estimated earnings.

Account data. The Google account email and basic profile of the person who connects a channel, plus OAuth access and refresh tokens.

Usage data. Basic logs of requests made to the Service for security and debugging.

We do not collect YouTube passwords, private messages, or personal data about your viewers beyond the aggregate reports YouTube provides.

• To generate channel audits, benchmarks, competitor comparisons, content ideas, and performance reports for the channel owner or the client who engaged us.
• To refresh those reports on a schedule so trends and alerts stay current.
• To send summaries and recommendations to the client the data belongs to.
• To operate, secure, and debug the Service.

We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train machine learning models. Aggregated channel content and metrics are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) solely to generate the written analysis in your report; that provider does not train on this data.

The Service uses YouTube API Services. By using it you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's Privacy Policy applies to Google's handling of your data.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

You can revoke the Service's access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Data is stored in our Supabase database (hosted in the United States) with access restricted to Ready Set Clicks staff. Authorization tokens are stored encrypted and server-side only.

Cached YouTube API data is refreshed at least every 30 days and stored no longer than 30 days from retrieval, except for aggregate historical metrics that we keep to show growth over time.

When you revoke access or ask us to delete your data, we delete your tokens immediately and your stored channel data within 30 days. To request deletion, email joel@readysetclicks.com.

We share data only with service providers that run the Service: Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), and Anthropic (report generation). We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers. We may disclose information if required by law.

Access to the Service requires an account we create. API keys and OAuth tokens are held in server-side environment variables and never exposed to the browser. Connections are encrypted in transit.

The Service is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

We will update the "Last updated" date above when this policy changes and, for material changes affecting connected accounts, notify the account holder by email.
