Thank you for using ClippingNoise. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We wrote it to be read, so we have kept it specific to what ClippingNoise actually does.
Your use of ClippingNoise is also governed by our Terms of Service. In this Policy, "ClippingNoise", "we", "us" and "our" mean the team that runs ClippingNoise, and "you" means anyone who visits or uses ClippingNoise.
This Policy applies to visitors to ClippingNoise and to people who create an account, link social media accounts, submit content to campaigns, or request withdrawals. It also applies to people who use the Client Dashboard on behalf of a brand. It does not apply to our employees or contractors, who receive separate notices, or to third-party websites and platforms we link to.
When you link an account or submit a post, we read public information from that platform so we can verify ownership and calculate earnings. This includes the account's public bio and follower count, and the post's public view, like and comment counts. We do not access your private messages, passwords or private posts on those platforms, and we never ask for your platform password.
We do not collect "sensitive" categories of personal information such as health data, government ID numbers or precise location.
Some information you choose to share is visible to others. Your username and avatar appear on campaign leaderboards that other signed-in users can see, so please do not use a username that reveals more than you want public.
Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on performing our contract with you (running your account and paying you), our legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention and improving the service), compliance with legal obligations, and your consent where we ask for it (for example, browser notifications).
We do not use your personal information to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you based solely on automated processing.
ClippingNoise shows in-app notifications about your submissions, earnings and withdrawals. If you choose to turn on browser notifications, your browser gives us a push-subscription record (a web address unique to your browser plus encryption keys) so we can send you a notification. You can turn this off at any time in your browser or device settings, or by unsubscribing in the app, and we will stop sending them.
We do not send marketing emails or text messages. Your ClippingNoise account is not connected to your Discord account: the two are separate, and we only receive your Discord details if you contact support there.
ClippingNoise uses YouTube API Services. When you link a YouTube channel or submit a YouTube video to a campaign, we use the YouTube Data API to obtain public information about that channel or video, such as identifiers, the title, and public subscriber, view, like and comment counts, so that we can verify your submission and calculate your earnings. We do not sell this information or use it for advertising.
Because we use YouTube API Services, information about you may also be collected and used by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy, and your use of YouTube is governed by the YouTube Terms of Service. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
The YouTube information we store is limited to what is needed to run your account: the channel identifier and public subscriber count for a linked channel, and the public view, like and comment counts for each video you submit. For an approved submission these counts are refreshed automatically on a schedule (shortly after submission, then several times over the first day, then daily) so your earnings stay accurate. You can ask us to delete the data we hold about you at any time (see Section 10). Deleting data we hold does not affect data stored by YouTube itself. To manage or delete data on YouTube, use YouTube directly. Because we only read public information and never ask you to sign in with Google, there is no Google access for you to revoke.
We keep your personal information for as long as your account is active and as long as needed for the purposes in this Policy. We decide how long based on how long the information is needed to provide the service, the type of information, and whether we must keep it to meet a legal, tax, accounting or fraud-prevention obligation, or to resolve a dispute.
Support ticket records and stored support answers are kept for as long as we need them to help you and to improve our support, and you can ask us to delete yours. Records of earnings and withdrawals may be kept for longer than the rest of your account information because they are financial records. When we no longer need information we delete it or remove the details that identify you.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
To use any of these rights, contact us as described in Section 15. We may need to confirm your identity first, and you can ask an authorised agent to make a request for you if they can show your written permission. We will respond within the time the law requires. If we decline a request you can ask us to reconsider by replying with the subject line "Privacy request appeal".
There is currently no button in the app to delete your whole account, so please contact us to request deletion. You can unlink individual social accounts yourself from the Accounts page at any time.
ClippingNoise is for people 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and it is not directed at children. If we learn that someone under 18 has given us personal information, we will delete it and close the account. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us.
ClippingNoise and its service providers may store and process information in countries other than the one where you live, which may have different data protection laws. Where the law requires it, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as standard contractual clauses. You can contact us for more detail about the safeguards that apply to you.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including salted password hashing, HTTP-only session cookies, and forgery protection on forms. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please choose a strong, unique password and never share it. If you think your account has been accessed without your permission, change your password and contact us straight away.
We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. If we make a material change we will give you a notice in the app. Your continued use of ClippingNoise after a change means you accept the updated Policy.
