This page explains how Polita handles information connected to the website, My Hub, chat cosmetics, connected platform accounts, creator tools, optional Supporter payments and player progress systems.
Polita may use account IDs, usernames, display names, profile images and verified platform details from Twitch, Kick or YouTube, together with player progress, gold, XP, badges, inventory, settings, username paints, uploaded cosmetics, commands, dashboard settings and related service data.
Payments may be handled by Stripe. Polita does not need to store full card numbers. Stripe may process payment details under its own terms and privacy policy.
Polita does not sell personal data. Data may be shared only with service providers needed to run the website, payments, hosting, login, security, bot features or legal compliance.
One Polita account may be connected to separately verified Twitch, Kick and YouTube identities. Polita may store the platform name, platform user or channel ID, username or handle, display name, verification state, connection method and whether an account is currently connected or primary.
Disconnecting a platform removes its active connection from My Hub. Polita may retain a limited account mapping so the same verified identity can reconnect to the correct Polita account and to prevent duplicate or conflicting links.
Polita uses login sessions and cookies to keep users signed in, protect OAuth login flows and return users to the correct page after authentication.
Polita pages and the browser extension may use local browser storage for usernames, equipped cosmetics, previews, extension preferences and other interface data.
A Polita account can connect separate Twitch, Kick and YouTube identities. Polita does not assume that usernames are the same across those services.
Each connection is verified directly with the relevant platform and stored using that platform's permanent account or channel ID, username or handle, display name and connection status.
When a user selects Login with YouTube or Connect YouTube, Polita requests read-only YouTube access through Google OAuth.
Polita uses this permission to identify the YouTube channel authorised by the user. Polita retrieves the permanent YouTube channel ID, channel title, public handle or custom URL when available, and public profile image.
Polita does not use this access to upload, edit or delete videos, change channel settings, manage comments, read private messages or act publicly on behalf of the user.
Polita does not infer a YouTube channel from a Twitch username, Kick username, Google email address or another platform identity.
Polita uses technical and organisational safeguards to protect Google and YouTube account information and other sensitive account data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or misuse.
Polita reviews its data-handling and security practices as the service develops and may update these safeguards where appropriate. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Polita stores the verified YouTube channel ID, handle or username, display name, connection state and mapping to the user's Polita account.
The Google access token used during the current connection flow is not stored permanently in the Polita platform-account database.
Disconnecting YouTube removes the active connection. Polita may retain a limited verified identity mapping so the same channel can reconnect to the correct Polita account and to prevent duplicate, conflicting or abusive connections.
Polita does not sell Google user data. Google and YouTube account data is not used for personalised advertising, credit decisions or unrelated user profiling.
Polita's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Users can disconnect YouTube through Settings > Connections.
Users can separately revoke Polita's Google access through the third-party access controls in their Google Account.
Users may contact Polita support to request deletion of retained account information, subject to legal, security, fraud-prevention and legitimate service-integrity requirements.
Google and YouTube are independent third-party services with their own terms, privacy policies and account controls. Polita is not owned, operated or endorsed by Google or YouTube.
Payments are processed by Stripe. Polita may receive and store limited recurring-support information such as checkout or customer references, Supporter status, payment status, billing state and relevant account-access or Supporter dates.
Polita does not need to store full card numbers or card security codes.
When users upload custom or animated badges, Polita may store the uploaded file, filename, review status, slot, ownership record and related moderation information.
Polita may also store equipped badges, colours, outlines, backgrounds, glow settings, gradients, username paints and other cosmetic preferences so they can sync across connected Twitch, Kick and YouTube experiences.
Polita may use limited analytics and conversion events to understand page visits, extension installs, logins, Supporter checkouts and Supporter-management actions. These events are used to operate, improve and measure the service.
