Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026.

No account, no login

You do not need to create an account or log in to use this tool. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other identifying information when you run a check.

What we look up

When you paste a YouTube channel URL or handle, we send it to our backend, which reads the corresponding public YouTube channel page. The channel identifier you entered and the resulting public data (subscriber count, membership signal, etc.) may be cached on our infrastructure for up to 24 hours so that repeated lookups of the same channel don't require a fresh request every time. This cache is keyed by the channel, not by you — we do not log or store which visitor looked up which channel.

Cookies

We only set cookies if you accept the cookie consent banner, and only for aggregate analytics or advertising — never to identify you personally. If you decline, no such cookies are set.

Advertising

This site currently runs with no advertising. If we add Google AdSense in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly, and AdSense cookies will remain subject to the consent banner above.

Third parties

Our backend queries YouTube's own public channel pages to produce results. We do not sell or share any data about your usage with third parties.
