Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information when you use Smartnox:

• Google account authorization data needed to sign you in and request YouTube API access.
• YouTube account data returned by YouTube API Services, including subscription and channel metadata needed to display your subscriptions and support playlist organization and generated YouTube viewing links.
• Workspace and account data needed to operate Smartnox, including tracked channels, category assignments, playlist history, billing access state, and connected account metadata.
• Files you choose to import into the app for restoring prior Smartnox exports.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Authenticate you with Google.
• Read your YouTube subscriptions and related channel information.
• Organize playlists and viewing workflows inside Smartnox.
• Generate playlist links you can open on YouTube across devices.
• Persist your Smartnox workspace and preferences across sessions.
• Allow you to export and import Smartnox data under your control.
• Maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the service.

3. Where Data Is Stored

Smartnox stores workspace and account data in its server-side application database so your tracked channels, category assignments, playlist history, and access state persist across sessions and devices. Smartnox also stores connected account metadata needed to support Google sign-in, YouTube actions, billing access, operations, and auditability.

Your use of Google OAuth and YouTube API Services is also subject to the Google Privacy Policy. Information you create in YouTube, such as items you watch or save separately in YouTube, is stored by Google within your Google account.

4. Sharing of Information

Smartnox does not sell your personal information.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With Google and YouTube as necessary to provide the requested functionality.
• With service providers or infrastructure providers if needed to host or secure the website.
• When required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
• To protect the rights, safety, and security of Smartnox, its users, or the public.

5. Data Retention

Smartnox retains account and workspace data for as long as needed to operate the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You can also revoke Smartnox access from your Google account settings at any time.

6. Your Choices

• You may stop using Smartnox at any time.
• You may revoke Google OAuth access in your Google account permissions settings.
• You may export or import Smartnox workspace data through the app's JSON snapshot controls.
• You may contact us to request deletion of any information we actually hold outside your device, if any.

7. Security

We use reasonable measures designed to protect the service, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your device and Google account secure.

8. Children's Privacy

Smartnox is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Third-Party Services

Smartnox relies on Google OAuth, YouTube API Services, and YouTube platform functionality. Your use of those services remains subject to the applicable Google and YouTube terms, and the Google Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above.
