PRIVACY POLICY ===================================================== Last updated: 3 October 2026 Website: https://yt.igric.uk 1. WHO WE ARE ----------------------------------------------------- This Privacy Policy applies to the website yt.igric.uk (the "Website") and to "Video Uploader", our application for uploading and managing the educational German-language videos that we produce and publish on our YouTube channel (together, the "Service"). The Service is operated by igric.uk ("we", "us", "our"). We respect your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect (spoiler: essentially none), how third-party services such as YouTube and Google may interact with you, and the rights you have under applicable data-protection laws. 2. SUMMARY IN PLAIN LANGUAGE ----------------------------------------------------- - We do NOT collect, store, process, sell, or share any personal data from visitors of this Website. - We do NOT require registration or user accounts. - We do NOT run our own analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising networks on this Website. - We do NOT send marketing emails or newsletters. - Videos are hosted on YouTube. When you watch them, YouTube/Google process data under their own policies. 3. INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT ----------------------------------------------------- We do not collect, and have no intention of collecting, any of the following through this Website: - Names, email addresses, or other contact details; - Account credentials or registration data; - IP addresses, device identifiers, or location data; - Analytics, behavioural, or usage-tracking data; - Cookies set by us (the Website sets no cookies of its own); - Any content or files submitted by users (no forms exist). Because we do not collect personal data, we also do not retain, transfer, or disclose any such data to third parties. 4. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES (YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE) ----------------------------------------------------- Our videos are hosted on YouTube, a service operated by Google LLC. This Website may contain links to, or embed, YouTube content. When you interact with YouTube content: - YouTube/Google may collect and process data about you (for example cookies, device identifiers, and viewing data) in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms); - We have no access to, and no control over, the data that YouTube/Google collect when you use their platform; - Any questions about YouTube's data processing should be directed to Google via the tools provided in your Google account. 5. GOOGLE SIGN-IN AND YOUTUBE API SERVICES ----------------------------------------------------- Where our applications offer the option to sign in with Google, or otherwise use YouTube API Services: - Authentication is performed by Google. We only receive the minimal information necessary for the sign-in or feature you explicitly choose to use; - We do not store your Google credentials, we do not retain profile data on our servers, and we do not use YouTube API data for any purpose other than operating the feature you requested; - We do not use YouTube API Services to track users across third-party services, and we do not disclose or sell data obtained from YouTube API Services; - Our use of YouTube API Services complies with the YouTube API Services Terms of Service and Developer Policies (https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms). You can revoke our applications' access to your Google account at any time in your Google Account security settings (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions). 6. ADVERTISING AND MONETIZATION ----------------------------------------------------- We monetize our educational content through YouTube's standard monetization features (for example advertisements shown on our videos). These advertisements are served and managed by Google/YouTube, not by us. If personalized advertising is enabled, it is based on Google's own processing of your data, which you can control or disable via Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com). We receive only anonymous, aggregate reporting (such as total view counts) and no personally identifiable information about viewers. 7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY ----------------------------------------------------- Our content is general-audience educational material and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children, and, as stated above, we do not collect personal data from anyone. Where required, videos are appropriately marked under YouTube's settings for made-for-kids content. 8. YOUR RIGHTS (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA AND SIMILAR LAWS) ----------------------------------------------------- Because we do not collect personal data, there is normally no personal data of yours for us to access, correct, delete, or port. Nevertheless, if you believe that we hold any personal data about you, or if you have any data-protection question or complaint, you may contact us using the details in Section 12 and we will respond promptly and free of charge. Nothing in this policy limits any rights you have under applicable law, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. 9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS ----------------------------------------------------- We do not transfer any personal data, because we do not collect any. Any transfers of data that occur when you interact with YouTube or other Google services are governed by Google's own policies and standard contractual clauses as described in Google's Privacy Policy. 10. DATA SECURITY ----------------------------------------------------- Since the Service does not collect or store personal data, there is no personal data of yours at risk on our systems. The Website itself is served over HTTPS to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the connection. 11. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY ----------------------------------------------------- We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law or in the Service. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. 12. CONTACT US ----------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the Service, please contact us via our Website: Website: https://yt.igric.uk
