This Privacy Policy explains how Jatin Ramani's Blog (jatinramani.blogspot.com, "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you use our website and associated services, including the YouTube Subscription Checker application ("the Application"). The Application uses the YouTube Data API to check whether you are subscribed to a specific YouTube channel. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the Google API Services User Data Policy and Limited Use Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you use our website or the Application:

a. Information You Provide

YouTube Channel ID: When you use the YouTube Subscription Checker, you may provide a YouTube Channel ID to check your subscription status.
Google Account Information: To use the Application, you must sign in with your Google Account. We request access to the ../auth/youtube.readonly scope to check your YouTube subscription status. This includes access to your YouTube subscription data (e.g., whether you are subscribed to a specific channel).

b. Information Collected Automatically

Usage Data: We may collect anonymized data about how you interact with our website or Application, such as IP addresses, browser type, device information, and pages visited, through cookies or similar technologies.
Google API Data: When you authorize the Application, we receive limited data from Google, such as your subscription status for a specific YouTube channel. We do not collect or store your Google Account credentials.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

To Provide the Application's Functionality: We use the YouTube Channel ID you provide and the data accessed via the YouTube Data API to check whether you are subscribed to a specific YouTube channel.
To Improve Our Services: Anonymized usage data helps us understand how users interact with our website and Application, allowing us to improve functionality and user experience.
Compliance with Google Policies: We use data accessed through the YouTube Data API in compliance with Google's Limited Use Policy, ensuring that your data is used solely for the purpose of providing the subscription checking service.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties, except in the following cases:

With Google: The Application uses the YouTube Data API, and your subscription status is retrieved directly from Google's servers through an authorized OAuth 2.0 process. We do not store or share this data beyond what is necessary to display the subscription status to you.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
Service Providers: We may share anonymized data with analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand website usage. These providers do not receive personally identifiable information unless explicitly authorized by you.

4. Limited Use Policy Compliance

Our use of the YouTube Data API complies with Google's Limited Use Policy:

Data Usage: We only use data accessed through the YouTube Data API (../auth/youtube.readonly scope) to check and display your subscription status for a specific YouTube channel.
No Unnecessary Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or process any data beyond what is required to provide the Application's functionality.
No Data Sharing: We do not share YouTube API data with third parties except as required for the Application's operation (e.g., Google servers for OAuth authentication).
Transparency: We clearly disclose our data usage practices in this Privacy Policy.

5. Data Storage and Security

Data Storage: We do not store your YouTube subscription data or Google Account information after the subscription check is complete. The Application processes the data in real-time and displays the result.
Security Measures: We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, such as secure connections (HTTPS) for data transmission. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Cookies and Analytics: Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics purposes. These are stored on your device and can be managed through your browser settings.
