1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Aztec Digital ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our YouTube OAuth authorization service (the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our Service:

• User Identifier: A unique identifier you provide

We do not collect:

• Personal information such as names, addresses, or phone numbers

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for:

• Providing YouTube data access for verification of video performance on behalf of sponsors

4. Data Storage and Security

Your OAuth credentials are stored securely on our servers. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Security Measures Include:

• Temporary Access Keys: When sharing credentials with Bitcast Network nodes, we use time-limited access keys that automatically expire after one hour
• Controlled Access: Only authorized nodes within the Bitcast Network can receive access keys
• Secure Storage: Your primary OAuth credentials remain securely stored on our protected servers

5. Data Sharing

We share your OAuth credentials in a limited and controlled manner specifically for verification of video performance on behalf of sponsors:

• Bitcast Network Nodes: Your YouTube OAuth credentials are shared with authorized verification nodes within the Bitcast Network for video performance analysis
• Temporary Access: Sharing is accomplished through temporary access keys that expire after one hour
• Limited Purpose: This sharing is solely for the purpose of enabling video performance verification and accessing your YouTube data as authorized

We do not:

• Sell or trade your information for commercial purposes

7. Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with:

8. Data Retention

We retain your OAuth credentials until:

• You revoke authorization through Google
• You request deletion of your data
• The credentials expire or become invalid
