Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

TurboKast ("we", "us", "our") operates the turbokast.com website and multi-streaming service. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and what choices you have.

By using TurboKast you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you sign in via Google, Twitch, or YouTube, we receive basic profile information from the OAuth provider:

• Display name and profile picture
• Email address
• Provider-specific user ID

We do not receive or store your password from any provider.

2.2 Streaming Data

If you grant streaming permissions, we access your stream keys and broadcast settings on connected platforms (Twitch, YouTube) solely to forward your stream to those destinations. Stream keys are encrypted at rest and never logged in plaintext.

2.3 Usage Data

We collect anonymized analytics about page views, feature usage, and streaming session metadata (duration, bitrate, resolution) to improve the service. We do not use third-party tracking scripts.

2.4 Technical Data

Our servers automatically log IP addresses, browser type, and request timestamps for security and debugging purposes. These logs are retained for up to 30 days and then deleted.

3. How We Use Google User Data

TurboKast's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy , including the Limited Use requirements.

We use Google account data exclusively to:

• Authenticate your identity and create your TurboKast account
• Display your name and profile picture within the app
• Create and manage YouTube live broadcasts on your behalf (when you grant streaming permissions)

We do not sell, rent, or share Google user data with third parties for advertising or any purpose unrelated to providing the TurboKast service.

4. Data Storage and Security

• OAuth tokens and stream keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM
• Stream keys are stored as SHA-256 digests; plaintext keys are never persisted
• All connections use TLS (HTTPS) in transit
• Your streaming content passes through our relay servers for forwarding only and is never stored or recorded
• Data is hosted on Fly.io infrastructure within the United States

5. Data Sharing

We share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Streaming platforms: Your stream data is forwarded to destinations you have connected (Twitch, YouTube, custom RTMP endpoints)
• Payment processor: Stripe processes billing on our behalf and receives only the information required to complete transactions
• Infrastructure providers: Fly.io and Cloudflare host our services and may process requests in the course of providing infrastructure
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process

We do not sell your personal information to any third party.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Streaming session metadata is retained for analytics and history purposes. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

7. Your Rights and Choices

• Revoke access: You can disconnect any OAuth provider from your Settings page at any time. You can also revoke TurboKast's access directly from your Google account or Twitch account settings.
• Access your data: Contact us to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Delete your data: Contact us to request deletion of your account and associated data
• Opt out of analytics: Contact us to opt out of anonymized usage tracking

8. Cookies

TurboKast uses a single encrypted session cookie to maintain your login state. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

9. Children's Privacy

TurboKast is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of TurboKast after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
