GlobalCollabs ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website globalcollabsearch.com, the GlobalCollabs browser application, and the GlobalCollabs iOS app. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
The short version: we collect almost nothing. GlobalCollabs runs on your device using your own YouTube API key. No search results are stored on our servers. No personal data is collected by us beyond what our payment processors handle.
GlobalCollabs does not collect, store, or transmit:
The GlobalCollabs iOS app runs entirely on your device. Searches are sent directly from your device to Google's YouTube Data API using your own API key. We operate no servers that receive, route, or store your data.
Subscriptions and one-time purchases in the iOS app are processed by Apple through the App Store (StoreKit). We never see or store your payment information. Purchases are associated with your Apple Account and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. You can manage or cancel subscriptions at any time in your Apple Account settings.
The app stores your preferences, saved search presets, and your YouTube API key locally on your device only. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you delete the app.
Demo mode uses bundled sample data and makes no network requests.
In-app purchases in the iOS app are handled by Apple. Apple collects the information described in its own privacy policy; we receive only anonymized purchase confirmation needed to unlock features.
Purchases of the GlobalCollabs web product are processed by Gumroad, Inc. When you buy through Gumroad, they collect your name, email address, and payment information. We receive confirmation of your purchase and your email address from Gumroad so we can deliver the product. Gumroad's privacy practices are governed by their own Privacy Policy.
GlobalCollabs uses the YouTube Data API v3 to search for creators. Your searches are sent directly from your device to Google's servers using your own API key. We do not route or store these requests. Your use of the YouTube API is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and the YouTube Terms of Service.
The GlobalCollabs website uses a single browser localStorage item (gc_theme) to remember your dark/light mode preference. This data never leaves your browser and is not accessible to us.
GlobalCollabs is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of GlobalCollabs after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
