1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, calculate your rates, or contact us. This includes:
- Account information (via Google Login if authenticated)
- YouTube channel statistics (publicly available data from YouTube API)
- Usage data (how you interact with our calculator)
2. How We Use and Share Your Information
We use your information to provide, maintain, and improve our services, specifically to generate sponsorship rate estimates and save your report history. To provide these services, we interact with the following third parties:
- CreatorQuote Backend & Database: We use Supabase to securely store authenticated user profiles and saved calculations. Unauthenticated calculator usage is not permanently stored to a user record.
- YouTube API: If you use the "Paste YouTube URL" feature, we send the URL to YouTube's public API to fetch the channel's public statistics (views, subscribers, etc.).
- AI Providers: We may use AI models to process video titles or channel descriptions for accurate categorization and niche detection.
- Analytics & Error Logging: We use industry-standard tools to monitor site performance, track aggregate anonymous usage, and log application errors to improve stability.
- Browser Storage: We use local storage and cookies to maintain your session (if logged in) and temporarily hold your calculation inputs.
3. Data Security and Sharing
Your data is securely stored. We do not sell your personal data, YouTube channel statistics, or calculated rate estimates to third parties, advertising agencies, or data brokers.
4. Your Choices
You can contact us to request help with account data deletion, report history, or privacy questions. CreatorQuote is designed to provide sponsorship estimates for educational and negotiation purposes without compromising your data privacy.
