Last Updated: October 2025

Your Control Over Your Data: CommentShark will not do anything without your permission. We only access your YouTube channel to view your channel information and to post comments on your behalf when you explicitly request it. CommentShark will not make any changes to your channel without your direct action.

This Privacy Policy explains how CommentShark collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our service. By using CommentShark, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

YouTube Data API

CommentShark uses YouTube API Services as an API client and follows YouTube's Terms of Service. By using CommentShark, you are agreeing to be bound by YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

CommentShark collects minimal information necessary to provide the service:

  • Login Information: Your email address and name from Google OAuth authentication
  • YouTube Channel Data: Basic channel information, video details, and comments (as authorized by you)

We do not collect or store any sensitive information such as passwords. All authentication is handled securely through Google OAuth.

Log Data

When you use CommentShark, we may collect standard log data through our hosting infrastructure. This may include:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Error logs for debugging purposes

This data is used solely for maintaining service quality, debugging issues, and improving the user experience.

Cookies and Authentication

CommentShark uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication rather than traditional cookies. Google's OAuth authentication service may use cookies as part of the login process. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard practices with encryption in transit and at rest. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting your information, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Service Status

CommentShark is provided at no cost and is currently in active development. While we make every effort to provide reliable service, the platform may occasionally be unavailable for maintenance or updates. User data may be modified or removed as part of system updates.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of CommentShark after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
