Privacy

YT Finder does not require an account.

This page explains the practical data handling for ytfinder.app. It is not a substitute for legal advice, but it documents how the app is intended to operate.

Information you provide

When you search, your query is sent to YT Finder's server endpoint only so results can be fetched and ranked for that request. Searches are submitted in the request body, not stored by the app, and not written to product analytics.

Server logs and abuse protection

YT Finder does not store IP addresses, locations, raw search terms, query lengths, user agents, or account profiles. Maintenance analytics are limited to aggregate operational signals such as result counts, source health, active filters, locale, latency, pagination, ranking weights, and error states.

Caching

Search responses are returned with no-store cache headers and are not kept in an application query cache. Public channel metadata may be read from upstream sources only to display channel context beside results.

Third-party services

YT Finder uses Cloudflare for hosting and may request public video metadata from YouTube and public Invidious instances. When you open a result, you leave YT Finder and visit YouTube directly under YouTube's own policies.

Cookies and accounts

YT Finder does not provide user accounts. The app does set a small language-preference cookie so it can remember your selected site language across pages and visits. Cloudflare or other infrastructure may also use technical mechanisms for security and traffic management.

Data deletion

Because YT Finder does not maintain user accounts, search histories, IP records, or location records, there is no account profile or searchable visitor history to delete.
