Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
Introduction
YouTube Playlist Length Calculator (ytplaylistlength.one) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our service.
This website is built to solve utility tasks with as little data collection as possible. Most interactions involve public YouTube URLs and temporary processing needed to generate results for the current session.
Information We Collect
This service is designed with privacy as a priority. We collect minimal information:
Data You Provide
- YouTube URLs: The playlist and video URLs you submit are processed to calculate durations. These URLs are not stored permanently.
- Custom API Keys: If you provide your own YouTube API key, it is used only for the current request and is never stored on our servers.
Automatically Collected Data
- Basic Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage data (page views, general usage patterns) to improve our service. This data cannot identify individual users.
- Technical Request Data: Our hosting or CDN providers may temporarily process standard web request data such as IP addresses, browser headers, and error logs for security, uptime, and abuse prevention.
Contact Data
If you email us or submit feedback through a site contact or feedback form, we receive the information you include in that message, such as your email address, the page URL you mention, and the details of your request.
How We Use Your Information
- Process your playlist duration calculations
- Improve and optimize our service
- Monitor for abuse and ensure service availability
We do not sell your information and we do not build user profiles around the URLs you submit.
Data Storage & Security
- No Permanent Storage: We do not permanently store your YouTube URLs, calculation results, or API keys
- Secure Transmission: All data is transmitted over HTTPS encryption
Where temporary logs are required for security, uptime monitoring, or abuse prevention, we aim to keep them limited in scope and retention.
