Meowlyva ("we", "our", "us") operates the Meowlyva website and Meowly Studio desktop application. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
When you create a Meowlyva account, we collect your email address, username, and optionally your Discord identity if you authenticate via Discord OAuth.
Meowly Studio is a desktop application that processes video files locally on your device. Video files, project files, and AI-generated subtitles are stored on your local machine only and are never uploaded to our servers.
When you connect a third-party account (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook) to Meowly Studio, the resulting OAuth access tokens are encrypted using your operating system's secure storage and stored locally on your device only. These tokens are never transmitted to Meowlyva servers.
We may collect anonymous usage analytics (e.g., feature usage frequency, crash reports) to improve the application. This data does not include personal information or video content.
To protect the community, we may process account, device, network, and activity signals for abuse and ban-evasion detection. This includes canonical email hash, email domain, and disposable-email status; edge TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprints when our edge provider supplies them; message and reply behavior summaries; observed Discord aliases; Minecraft names and non-reversible skin hashes; and Twitch follow timing already collected by Meowlyva.
When an authorized member of the MeowlyVA business operations team connects a YouTube channel owned by MeowlyVA (currently the "Meowlyva" main channel and "Meowlyva VODs" VOD channel) through our internal Business Operations Viewer, we collect and store the following data server-side on our infrastructure:
This data is collected by authenticated calls to the YouTube Data API v3 and the YouTube Analytics API using the credentials granted at OAuth time, and is refreshed by a daily scheduled job to keep the dashboards current.
Meowly Studio integrates with the following platforms at your direction:
video.publish and video.upload scopes to enable direct video publishing. We do not access or store your TikTok profile data beyond what is required for the upload flow.youtube.readonly, youtube.force-ssl, yt-analytics.readonly, and yt-analytics-monetary.readonly. These scopes are used solely to fetch channel metadata, video metadata, performance metrics, monetization metrics, aggregated viewer demographics, and comment moderation data for the connected channel. We do not upload, modify, or delete any content on the connected channel under this flow. Tokens issued under this flow are stored server-side, encrypted at rest with AES, and accessed only by authenticated business-ops staff with two-factor authentication and the explicit business-ops-youtube permission grant.You may revoke these connections at any time from within Meowly Studio or directly from each platform's account settings. For the Business Operations Viewer flow, the owner of the connected YouTube channel may also revoke MeowlyVA's access at any time from their Google account permissions page. Revoking access stops further data collection but does not delete analytics snapshots already stored on our servers; for deletion of previously collected analytics data, please contact us via the channel listed below.
MeowlyVA's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use YouTube channel data, video metadata, analytics, or monetization data to serve advertisements, and we do not transfer this data to any third party except as strictly necessary to operate the dashboards described in this policy or to comply with applicable law.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share your data with any third party except:
Account data is retained as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time. OAuth tokens stored locally by Meowly Studio can be removed by disconnecting accounts within the app.
For data collected under the MeowlyVA Business Operations Viewer flow, analytics snapshots (views, watch-time, revenue, demographics, etc.) and video metadata are retained for as long as the underlying YouTube channel remains connected, so that historical period-over-period comparisons remain available to the business operations team. If MeowlyVA disconnects a channel, or if the channel owner revokes access through Google, the stored OAuth tokens are deleted on the next reconciliation cycle and no further data is fetched. Previously stored analytics snapshots are retained for accounting and reporting continuity unless deletion is specifically requested via the contact channel below.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. OAuth tokens in Meowly Studio are encrypted using OS-level secure storage (Electron safeStorage API). OAuth tokens for the Business Operations Viewer flow are encrypted at rest using AES with a server-side encryption key managed outside the database. Sensitive credentials are never stored in plain text. Access to the Business Operations Viewer is restricted by authenticated session, mandatory two-factor authentication, and an explicit per-section permission grant.
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any updated policy.
For privacy-related questions or data deletion requests, please contact us through our Discord community or via the Meowlyva website.
