How CipherDaemon handles data when a streamer connects a YouTube channel.

YouTube API Services

CipherDaemon uses YouTube API Services. When a streamer adds their YouTube channel, CipherDaemon reads that channel's public live chat while a game is on screen.

By using this feature you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. The Google Privacy Policy explains how Google handles data.

What we read

• The channel the streamer enters, to find their live stream.
• From each message in that live chat: the sender's channel ID and display name, the message text and the time it was sent.

How we use it

We check each message for game commands and word guesses. When someone plays, their YouTube display name appears on the streamer's overlay.

What we keep

We don't save YouTube viewers' data. Names and channel IDs stay in memory while the games run and are gone when the service restarts. Other messages are checked and dropped straight away. YouTube viewers don't earn points.

We store the channel a streamer enters until they clear it. Clearing it in the dashboard stops all reading and removes it.

Who we share it with

We don't sell or share data from YouTube. A player's name appears on the stream, so the streamer's audience can see it.

Third-party content

CipherDaemon doesn't show ads. Its pages load fonts from Google Fonts.

Data on your device

The dashboard uses cookies to keep streamers signed in and to protect sign-in, and it remembers some display preferences in your browser. We don't use tracking cookies.
