Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 November 2026

This policy explains how Vice City Shorts ("we", "us") handles information in connection with our website (vicecityshorts.com) and our internal publishing software (the "Application"). The Application is used only by Vice City Shorts to publish videos to channels and accounts we own.

1. YouTube API Services

The Application uses YouTube API Services to upload and manage videos on our own YouTube channel and to read basic statistics (such as view counts) for those videos. By using YouTube features through the Application, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

2. Information we access, collect and use

Our own account data: OAuth access tokens for our own YouTube, TikTok and Instagram accounts, used solely to publish our videos and read their performance statistics.
Public video statistics: view, like and comment counts for videos we publish, used to decide which kinds of clips to make.
Public livestream data: publicly visible livestream chat activity (such as message rate) and stream footage from creators whose content we are permitted to clip, used to find highlights. We do not build profiles of individual viewers or chat participants.
Website visitors: this website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and operations.
Email: if you contact us, we keep your email and message only to respond to you.

3. How we store and share information

Tokens and statistics are stored on access-controlled cloud infrastructure. We do not sell, rent or share personal information with third parties, except service providers that operate our infrastructure (such as hosting and posting tools) on our behalf, or where required by law.

4. Retention and deletion

We keep video statistics for as long as the related video is published. OAuth tokens are deleted when we disconnect an account. You can ask us to delete any information relating to you by emailing contact@vicecityshorts.com; we will respond within 30 days.

5. Revoking access

Any Google account connected to the Application can revoke its access at any time through the Google security settings page.

6. Children

Our website and Application are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

7. Changes

We may update this policy and will change the "Last updated" date when we do.
