Privacy Policy
Short version: we don't collect your name, email, or anything personally identifiable. The only thing we store is the search term you type, anonymously, as part of how the site works.
What we collect
When you search on SetYouTube, that keyword gets saved to our database. No name attached. No IP address logged. Just the word or phrase itself, a timestamp, and a search count.
That's what powers the trending page. Every search feeds the collective list.
What we don't collect
- Your name or email
- Your IP address
- Your location
- Any account information (there are no accounts)
- Payment details (the site is free)
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (ID: G-9GR9WYV7YV) to understand basic traffic patterns: which pages get visited, how long people stay, what device they're on. Google collects this under their own privacy policy. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.
Google AdSense
We show ads through Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies to show relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can control ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
YouTube embeds
Videos on this site are embedded from YouTube. When you click play, YouTube's own privacy policy applies. We don't control what YouTube collects during video playback.
Local storage
We use your browser's localStorage to remember how many searches you've done today. Nothing is sent to our server. It stays on your device and you can clear it any time by clearing your browser data.
Third-party links
We're not responsible for the privacy practices of any external sites we link to. Worth checking their own policies if you care.
Changes
If we change something meaningful, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site means you're okay with the current version.
