This Privacy Policy explains how Stream96 collects, accesses, uses, stores, protects, shares, and deletes information when you use the Stream96 website, applications, creator tools, streaming services, wallet services, integrations, and related products.

By connecting a Google or YouTube account to Stream96, you authorize Stream96 to access only the Google and YouTube information permitted by the permissions you approve during Google's OAuth authorization process.
Stream96 does not ask users to provide their Google or YouTube passwords to Stream96. Authentication and authorization are handled through Google's OAuth authorization system.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect information necessary to operate Stream96, provide requested services, maintain security, process transactions, provide creator tools, and comply with applicable legal and platform requirements.

3. GOOGLE ACCOUNT AND YOUTUBE INFORMATION
If you choose to connect your YouTube account to Stream96, Stream96 requests authorization through Google's OAuth 2.0 authorization system. You decide whether to grant Stream96 access.
Stream96 does not request or store your Google password, YouTube password, or Google's authentication credentials. Instead, Google authenticates you and provides Stream96 with authorization credentials that permit Stream96 to make API requests within the permissions you have approved.
Stream96 may receive and process information returned by the YouTube Data API only to the extent necessary to provide the YouTube-related functionality you have authorized.
4. YOUTUBE API SCOPES USED BY STREAM96
