How we protect your information

This data will not be publicly displayed or revealed to other users: any payment information you provide; your password details; your IP address; your phone number(unless you provide your contact information in your posts); communications you send to us (for example, when you ask for support, send us questions, or report an issue); We don’t give your personal information to any third-party services, except when it’s necessary to provide BadTube Services (like when we partner with payment processors). When we share data with third-party services that support our delivery of the BadTube Services, we require that they protect your personal information to the same standards we do.

We do reserve the right to disclose personal information when we believe that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or law enforcement, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect BadTube’s legal rights.

What your information is in public

When you create an account, we create a profile page for you on BadTube, containing your account name, and a list of content you have posted. Whenever your account name appears on BadTube (for instance, when you react to someone’s videos), people can click your account name to see your profile. The profile is searchable on BadTube or via search engines like Google. Here are some of the things that will be publicly viewable on your profile, or elsewhere on BadTube: the account name; any information you choose to add to your profile (like a picture, bio, your location, or your role); videos you’ve posted; playlists you’ve created; any reactions you’ve posted on BadTube; if you have “subscribed” a people or a playlist.

How we use your personal information

We will use the personal information you provide to: identify you when you sign in to your account; enable us to provide you with the Services; send you communications we think you may find useful, but only in accordance with your membership preferences; enable us to contact you regarding any question you make through the Services; analyze the use of the Services and the people visiting to improve our content and Services, and use for other purposes that we may disclose to you when we request your information.

We take securing your data and preserving your privacy very seriously. We never post anything to your Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social accounts without your permission. We do not and will not sell your personal data.

Creating campaigns is currently open to advertisers over the age of 18. Agencies, businesses, and other organizations can also use BadTube to promote their brand. People under 18 (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) are not permitted to use BadTube on their own, and so this privacy policy makes no provision for their use of BadTube.
