Privacy
policy

This policy describes how the Crazy FireBall website and a private channel-management tool handle information. Crazy FireBall is a family-friendly football gaming channel on YouTube. This page is for visitors of crazyfireball.com and for the channel owner who uses the tool. It does not ask for a child's name or other personal details.

Who we are

The public website at https://crazyfireball.com and the YouTube channel @crazyfireball (channel ID UCktHFCDh8AdIgWpVDw86jWA) are operated by the channel owner. There is no public account system on this website.

What this policy covers

• The public website, including pages such as Home, VOLTA, Playlists, and this privacy page.
• A private, single-channel tool that uses YouTube API Services so the channel owner can manage this one YouTube channel.

The website

What the site does

The site is a static, public homepage for the channel. It lists public videos and playlists and lets you watch them. It does not have accounts, comments, newsletters, or forms, and it does not take payments.

Information the site itself collects

The site's own code does not set cookies, does not include advertising or analytics scripts, and does not use a first-party analytics product. It does not ask you for your name, email address, or other personal information.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver the pages and help protect the site, Cloudflare may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. Depending on Cloudflare's security settings, a short-lived security cookie may be set by the network. That is not something the site's own pages turn on in their code.

The site is built from the channel's public YouTube RSS feed and from a local list of public videos. Those build steps run on a private machine. They are not a tracker running in your browser.

YouTube videos on the site

Videos are shown first as a thumbnail and a play button. A YouTube player is loaded only after you tap play, and it uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed mode at youtube-nocookie.com. Until you tap play, the site only loads thumbnail images from YouTube's image servers (i.ytimg.com).

If you tap play, YouTube and Google may collect information according to their own terms and privacy policy, which may include cookies or similar technology in the player. That is Google's processing, not a cookie set by crazyfireball.com. See the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Links

The site links to YouTube and may link to other sites. Those sites have their own privacy practices. This policy applies only to crazyfireball.com and to the private channel-management tool described below.

The YouTube API tool

The channel owner uses a private internal tool to operate the Crazy FireBall YouTube channel only. It is not a public app, it is not offered to other people or other channels, and the website does not use it.

This tool uses YouTube API Services. By using the tool, the channel owner agrees to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Information is also handled in line with the Google Privacy Policy.

How the tool signs in

The tool signs in with Google OAuth, using the scope that lets it manage the owner's YouTube account (youtube.force-ssl). Only the owner of channel UCktHFCDh8AdIgWpVDw86jWA authorises it. The public website has no Google sign-in.

What data the tool accesses

For that one channel, the tool can:

• Read channel and video information, including titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, playlists, privacy status, and similar metadata.
• Upload original gameplay videos (including Shorts) and set a publish time.
• Update titles, descriptions, tags, and custom thumbnails on the owner's own videos.
• Create playlists and add or remove the owner's own videos.
• Change the privacy of the owner's own videos (for example, unlisting old raw clips).

The tool is not used to access other people's YouTube accounts or to collect information from site visitors.

How that data is used

The data is used only to operate this channel: to publish and schedule videos, to keep titles and thumbnails accurate, to organise playlists, and to manage privacy. It is not sold, not used for advertising, and not shared with third parties as a product or a data set.

Google and YouTube process API requests under their own terms and privacy policy when the tool calls YouTube API Services.

What is stored

An authorisation token is stored so the channel owner does not have to sign in for every task, and only for as long as that consent remains active. The tool does not keep a public database of YouTube API data. Temporary local working copies used to finish a task are not kept longer than needed and are deleted within 30 days, in line with the YouTube API Services Developer Policies. Titles, descriptions, thumbnails, playlists, and privacy settings that are written to the channel are stored by YouTube on the channel itself.

How to revoke access

In addition to any request made to the channel owner, the owner can revoke the tool's access to their Google and YouTube data at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions (Google's security permissions page, also at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions). After access is revoked, stored tokens and any locally held API data are deleted as soon as possible, and in any case within 30 days.

Children

The website is a public, family-friendly showcase of a gaming channel. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the site, and it does not offer accounts or messaging.

Contact

Questions or complaints about this privacy policy, including the YouTube API tool, can be sent to the channel owner at [email protected].
