Privacy policy

Who processes your information?

Fabien Bouvet, for Counteed, is responsible for the information submitted with a beta access request. You can contact him at contact@counteed.com.

Google and YouTube connection

If you choose to connect your Google account and then your YouTube channel, Counteed requests Google identity and read-only YouTube access separately. That access is used only to identify the connected account, let you choose an accessible channel, and read the videos and comments required by the service. Counteed does not publish, reply to, moderate, or otherwise modify your YouTube channel or content.

The data involved may include your Google account identifier, verified email address, the identifier and current public information for the chosen channel, and the YouTube data required for an analysis (including identifiers, current comment text, public author, date, and video context). Access and refresh tokens are encrypted on the server; they are never exposed to the browser or used for advertising.

The connection follows your voluntary action. You can disconnect it in the service or ask for removal at contact@counteed.com. Counteed then stops using the access and deletes the relevant provider data as required.

YouTube data retention and removal

Raw YouTube data is limited to what is necessary for the service. When it remains useful, it is refreshed within the period required by YouTube’s rules; when refresh, the source, or authorization is no longer available, it is removed from affected displays, caches, searches, and exports. Counteed does not present an old comment as current.

Transformed analytical results must not make a comment or its author reconstructable. Their possible retention and any exposure to external users remain subject to applicable YouTube and legal validation; the beta does not activate them before those validations.

Why is this information collected?

It is used only to review your request, understand the context of your YouTube channel, select the first group of beta creators and contact you about the beta. It is not used to subscribe you to a newsletter or send unrelated marketing messages.

This processing is based on Counteed’s legitimate interest in organizing and preparing its private beta following your voluntary request to join it.

What information is involved?

• your name and email address;
• the link to your YouTube channel and your role on that channel;
• any optional answers you choose to share;
• technical information strictly necessary for the form to work securely.

Fields marked with an asterisk are required to review the request. Without them, the form cannot be submitted. All other answers are optional.

Who can access it?

Responses are accessible only to Counteed and the service providers required to operate the form. The form is provided by Tally, which acts as a processor and states that form data is stored in the European Union.

Your responses are not sold or shared for advertising purposes.

How long is it retained?

Requests and related correspondence are kept for no more than twelve months after the last contact, then deleted. If you join the beta, the information required for that relationship will then be covered by the terms applicable to the Counteed service.

What are your rights?

You may request access to your information, its rectification or erasure, or restriction of its processing. You may also object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.

To exercise these rights, email contact@counteed.com. If you believe, after contacting Counteed, that your rights have not been respected, you may submit a complaint to the French data protection authority, the CNIL.

Audience measurement, embedded form and tracking technologies

Counteed uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and page views, understand their general source and measure site performance. This information is used only to improve the landing page and assess its usefulness.

Cloudflare states that this service does not collect or use visitors’ personal data, track the same person across different websites, or use cookies, local storage or fingerprinting for audience measurement. Counteed receives aggregated reports that do not identify individual visitors. No advertising analytics or session-replay tool is used.

Displaying the embedded form establishes a connection with Tally, which may process technical information required for its operation and security under its own policy.

Changes to this policy

This page may change if Counteed’s use of information or its service providers changes. The last-updated date shown at the top identifies the applicable version.
