Privacy Policy
Last updated 21 September 2026
Draft. This document was prepared for the app as built and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Have it reviewed before the app is published.
Who we are
yBoost is an exchange that lets YouTube creators earn views on their videos by watching other creators' videos. This policy covers the yBoost Android app and this website. Contact: support@yboost.app.
What we collect
- Your Google account details. When you sign in with Google we receive your email address, display name and profile picture URL. We do not receive your Google password.
- Your activity in the app. Which videos you watched and when, the campaigns you created, and every coin movement with its reason.
- Purchases. If you buy coins, we store the Google Play product id, purchase token and order id so the purchase can be verified and not credited twice. We never see or store your card details — Google Play handles payment.
We do not run analytics or advertising SDKs in the app, and we do not collect your contacts, location, photos or device identifiers for tracking.
Why we collect it
- To run your account and show your balance.
- To decide, on our servers, whether a watch earns coins — which requires knowing when you started and finished.
- To stop the same watch or the same purchase being credited twice.
- To detect and prevent automated abuse of the coin economy.
What other people can see
When you promote a video, other users see the video, its title and channel name, and how many views remain. They do not see your name, email, profile picture or user id. Nothing identifying you is attached to a campaign.
Where it is stored
Data is held in a Supabase Postgres database hosted on Amazon Web Services in Ohio, United States. Access is restricted at the database level: your account can read only its own row, and balances can be changed only by audited server-side routines, never directly by the app.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We share only what is necessary with:
- Google — to sign you in and to verify purchases.
- Supabase / AWS — our database and server hosting.
- YouTube — videos play from YouTube inside the app, and YouTube applies its own privacy policy to that playback.
We may disclose data if legally required to do so.
How long we keep it
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. Coin ledger and purchase records are retained while the account exists because they are the record of what you were charged and credited.
Deleting your account
Email support@yboost.app from your account address and we will delete your account and its data. Deletion removes your profile, watch history, campaigns and ledger. Coins have no cash value and are not refunded on deletion.
Children
yBoost is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update the date above and, for material changes, tell you in the app.
