Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how RetroTube collects, uses, and protects your data.
Last updated: July 2026. By using RetroTube, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
When you create a RetroTube account, we collect your email address, display name, and authentication credentials. When you upload videos, we store the video files, thumbnails, titles, descriptions, and metadata you provide.
We also automatically collect certain data when you use the platform, including your watch history, search queries, likes, dislikes, comments, and subscription activity. This helps us personalize your experience and improve our recommendations.
How We Use Your Data
We use your information to provide and maintain the RetroTube service, including video playback, channel management, and content discovery features.
Your activity data helps us recommend videos you might enjoy, surface trending content, and improve our search and discovery algorithms. We also use aggregated, non-personal data for analytics and platform improvement.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the platform, but only under strict data protection agreements.
Data Protection
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), secure password hashing, and access controls that limit data access to authorized personnel only.
Your videos and personal information are stored on secure servers with regular backups. Only you and authorized administrators can access your account data.
Despite our efforts, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but we are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.
Cookies & Tracking
RetroTube uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the platform.
Essential cookies are required for the platform to function properly, such as maintaining your login session. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.
You can clear cookies from your browser at any time, though this may affect your ability to stay logged in and may reset your preferences.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, modify, or delete your personal data at any time. You can update your profile information from the Profile page, or delete your videos from the Studio page.
If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, please contact us. We will process your request within a reasonable timeframe.
You can opt out of certain data collection activities by adjusting your usage of the platform. For example, you can pause your watch history or clear it at any time.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please reach out through our Feedback page or report a concern through the platform's reporting tools.
We are committed to transparency and will update this policy if our data practices change. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
