This policy covers the internal tool WeHare uses to find creators for brand partnerships. It sits alongside the main WeHare Privacy Policy, which covers the website and the shop.
Creator research and the YouTube API Services
WeHare operates an internal tool that helps us find creators to approach about brand partnerships. That tool uses the YouTube API Services. This section explains exactly what it collects and what we do with it.
What we collect from YouTube
The tool reads only information that YouTube publishes about a channel to anyone who visits it:
- the channel ID and handle
- the channel name
- the subscriber count
- the country the channel declares, when it declares one
- the channel’s own public description, including any business contact address the channel owner has chosen to publish there
We do not collect video data, comments, watch history, analytics, private channel information, or anything belonging to a YouTube user account. The tool signs no one in. It uses a server API key, not OAuth, so it never receives an access token and never acts on behalf of a YouTube user.
Why we collect it
To build an internal list of creators whose work fits a brand we represent, and to contact them about paid partnerships using the business address they have published. The list is used by WeHare staff only.
How it is stored and who sees it
The list is held in files on company computers used by WeHare staff. It is not published, not sold, not licensed, and not shared with third parties. It is not used for advertising targeting, and it is not combined with data from any other source to build a profile of an individual.
How long we keep it
We keep a creator’s entry while they remain a plausible partner, and we review the list periodically. Entries that are no longer relevant are deleted. Any entry is deleted immediately on request.
How to have your entry removed
If you are a creator and you do not want to be on our list, write to contact@wehare.com with your channel name or handle. We will delete your entry and the contact address associated with it, and we will not add you again. You do not have to explain why, and we will confirm when it is done.
Google and YouTube terms
By using a tool built on the YouTube API Services you are also covered by Google’s own terms:
Google’s Privacy Policy explains how Google handles data when our tool queries the YouTube API Services. We have no access to and no control over that data.
Revoking access
Because the tool does not sign anyone in and holds no permissions on any YouTube account, there is nothing for a user to revoke. Google account permissions, if you have granted any to other applications, can be reviewed at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
