Cookies and Similar Technologies

SpiderTaz may use cookies, analytics tools, session storage, and similar technologies to improve functionality, remember preferences, support creator systems, analyze traffic, improve security, and enhance platform performance.

Users may manage cookie settings through their browser; however, disabling certain functions may affect site usability.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

Pages may contain embedded videos, media players, affiliate links, advertisements, payment services, social integrations, and links to third-party websites or services.

These third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies. SpiderTaz is not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, content, or actions of third-party services.

Affiliate Links and Monetization

Some pages may include affiliate links, sponsored placements, creator promotions, or monetized recommendations. If users interact with these links or complete qualifying actions, SpiderTaz may receive compensation at no additional cost to the user.

Such relationships do not alter the user’s direct cost unless otherwise clearly stated.

Google API and YouTube Data Usage

SpiderTaz may allow users to connect their Google account and YouTube channel through Google's OAuth system. This connection is used solely to retrieve publicly available YouTube channel and video metadata for use within the platform.

When a user connects their YouTube account, SpiderTaz may access:

• Channel name
• Channel avatar (profile image)
• Channel handle or URL
• Public video metadata (such as titles, thumbnails, descriptions, and publish dates)

SpiderTaz only uses read-only access to this information via the YouTube Data API and does not create, modify, upload, or delete content on the user's behalf.

This data is used to:

• Verify creator identity
• Display YouTube channel information on creator profiles
• Allow creators to import and organize their own YouTube videos
• Improve content discovery within the platform

SpiderTaz does not sell, share, or transfer YouTube data to third parties except as required for platform functionality or legal compliance.

Users may revoke access to their Google account at any time through their Google account security settings.

SpiderTaz complies with Google's API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Fraud Prevention, Security, and Platform Protection

SpiderTaz reserves the right to review submissions, monitor platform activity, detect suspicious behavior, investigate abuse, prevent fraud, protect creator integrity, enforce platform rules, and maintain the security of the platform and its users.

Actions may include moderation review, account restriction, submission review, fraud investigation, abuse prevention, and permanent removal of harmful or abusive activity where necessary.

Data Retention

Information may be retained for reasonable operational, security, moderation, legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, historical, and platform continuity purposes, even after account closure, creator removal requests, or service changes where retention is necessary.

Backup systems, archived records, moderation history, transaction records, and compliance-related data may remain retained where appropriate for legitimate business and legal purposes.

Legal Compliance and Required Disclosure

Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, court orders, lawful requests, fraud investigations, platform enforcement, intellectual property protection, security concerns, or to protect the rights, safety, operations, users, creators, or lawful interests of SpiderTaz.

Data Protection

Reasonable administrative, technical, and operational measures may be used to protect submitted information. However, no internet transmission, platform, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

By using the platform, users acknowledge and accept the inherent security limitations of online systems.

Children’s Privacy

SpiderTaz is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If such information is believed to have been submitted, contact should be made so appropriate review can occur.

Future Platform Expansion

SpiderTaz may expand services over time, including creator programs, subscriptions, memberships, premium services, account systems, business tools, platform integrations, and related services.

This Privacy Policy applies broadly to current and reasonably related future platform operations unless replaced by a more specific published policy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated, revised, expanded, or modified at any time without prior notice as platform operations evolve. Updated versions will be posted on this page and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the current version.
