Privacy Policy

Revision 2026-11-09.2

FocusTube uses YouTube API Services to retrieve public channel and video information. See the Google Privacy Policy. FocusTube does not request access to your YouTube account.

Your app account

FocusTube signs you in with a hosted authentication provider — Supabase or Neon Auth, depending on the deployment — which handles your email, password authentication, and sessions. Whichever provider is used, FocusTube stores your policy acceptance, selected channels, saved videos, watched status, daily intentions, and feed preferences with your account in a database protected by row-level security, so only your account can read or change them. Your browser stores session information so you can stay signed in.

YouTube and Google

FocusTube sends public channel handles or IDs and video IDs to Google when it looks up metadata. It does not send your FocusTube email, password, or session token to YouTube. Public metadata is cached for up to six hours before it expires. Your browser may request thumbnails directly from Google. Video links open on YouTube, where Google’s policies apply.

Retention and deletion

FocusTube retains your private app data while your account is active. Remove individual channels or saved videos in the app. To request deletion of your account and associated app data, use the support link in Settings or on the sign-in page and send the request from your account email. FocusTube will verify the request and delete your account and its app records from the authentication provider and database. Any retained backups expire under the operator’s backup schedule.

Terms of Use
