Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how gregtoope.com ("the Site," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the site or interact with any tools connected to it, including internal tools used to manage the Site's YouTube channels (@gregtoope and @gregtooperides).
Information We Collect
The Site itself does not require visitors to create an account or log in. We may collect standard, non-identifying analytics data (such as pages visited and general traffic patterns) to understand how the Site is used.
If you submit a comment on an article, we collect the name and comment text you provide. Comments are reviewed before publication and may be rejected at our discretion (e.g., spam, profanity, unrelated links).
YouTube API Services
gregtoope.com uses the YouTube Data API to display video content from the @gregtoope and @gregtooperides channels, and internal tools use the YouTube Data API (with the site owner's own authorization) to manage titles, descriptions, and metadata for those same channels. No visitor data is sent to or received from the YouTube API through this integration — it is used solely by the site owner to manage the owner's own channels.
By using this Site, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's Privacy Policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
How We Use Information
- To operate and improve the Site
- To moderate and display blog comments
- To manage and update the site owner's own YouTube channel content via authorized API access
Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent visitor information to third parties. Information is only shared where required to operate the Site (e.g., hosting infrastructure) or as required by law.
Third-Party Services
The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and may link to third-party services including YouTube and Amazon (via affiliate links). These third parties have their own privacy policies governing any data they collect.
Affiliate Disclosure
