Privacy Policy for LiveSubs Connect

Introduction
LiveSubs Connect ("the App") is a real-time monitoring and collaboration tool for content creators and enthusiasts developed by AntoTech ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the App. The App is a professional Single Page Application (SPA) designed to track, compare, and analyze YouTube and Twitch channel statistics in real-time, while providing a community platform for creators to connect. Key features include live battle comparisons, growth history visualization, milestone predictions, and a collaboration marketplace. We are committed to protecting your privacy through a hybrid approach: your personal monitoring data is stored locally, while community features utilize secure cloud infrastructure.

Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide (Processed Locally)

• Channel Selections: The IDs and names of the YouTube and Twitch channels you choose to monitor.

• Custom Goals: Subscriber or follower targets you set for specific channels to track progress.

• Saved Comparisons: Lists of channel pairs you have selected for the "Live Battle" or comparison features.

• Note: This information is stored strictly within your device's Local Storage. We do not have access to your personal list of monitored channels.

B. Information You Provide (Cloud-Based / Firebase)
To enable community and collaboration features, the App uses Firebase Authentication and Firestore:

• Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture URL to create your creator identity.

• Creator Profile: Information you voluntarily add, such as your niche, bio, and linked social media data.

• Collaboration Requests: Any content you post in the "Collab" section (titles, descriptions, and requirements) is stored in our database and is visible to other registered users of the App.

C. Automatically Collected Information

• Public Platform Data: The App fetches public statistics (subscriber/follower counts, view counts, and thumbnails) directly from the YouTube Data API v3 and the Twitch API (Helix).

• Device & Usage Data: Non-personal information such as device model and OS version may be processed by the underlying framework to ensure compatibility.

D. Third-Party Services

• YouTube Data API: By using this App, you are bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

• Twitch API: By using features related to Twitch, you are bound by the Twitch Terms of Service and the Twitch Privacy Notice.

• Firebase (Google Cloud): Used for secure authentication and hosting the community database and backend functions.

• Advertising (Google AdMob): The App displays ads to remain free. AdMob may collect identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID) to serve relevant ads. Refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for details.

How We Use Your Information

• App Functionality: To provide real-time counting, generate charts, and facilitate channel comparisons across platforms.

• Community Interaction: To allow creators to find each other and post/respond to collaboration requests.

• Growth Analysis: To calculate growth rates and predict milestone dates locally based on current API data.

• Maintenance: To improve performance and fix technical bugs.

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your monitored channels or personal profile data to third parties.

Data Storage and Security

• Hybrid Storage: Your monitoring settings stay on your device. Your profile and collaboration posts are stored securely in Google Firebase (Firestore).

• Data Sovereignty: We use industry-standard security protocols provided by Firebase to protect your cloud-stored information.

• User Responsibility: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and your Google account.

Permissions
The App may request the following permissions:

• Internet: To fetch real-time data from the YouTube and Twitch APIs, sync community features, and display ads.

• Network State: To verify connectivity before attempting to refresh data.

Children’s Privacy
The App is a tool for monitoring public statistics and is not intended for unsupervised use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights and Choices

• Data Control: You can remove monitored channels locally or reset the app to clear local history.

• Content Management: You can edit or delete your collaboration requests at any time within the App.

• Account Deletion: You may request the deletion of your cloud-stored profile by contacting us.

• Opt-Out: You can stop all data processing by uninstalling the App.
