Privacy Policy

Youtugtog · Last updated 19 August 2026

Youtugtog is a music player that searches and plays videos from YouTube. This policy covers both the website at youtugtog.vercel.app and the Youtugtog Android app (com.youtugtog.app).

The short version

Youtugtog has no accounts and no sign-in. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, photos, or files. We do not build a profile of you, and we do not sell or share your data with anyone for advertising.

What stays on your device

Your queue, saved playlists, cached lyrics, and your light/dark theme preference are stored in your device's local browser storage. They never leave your device and are never uploaded to us. Clearing the app's storage — or uninstalling the app — deletes them permanently. We cannot recover them for you.

What is sent off your device

• Search terms. When you search for a song, the text you typed is sent to our server, which forwards it to the YouTube Data API to get results. We use it to answer that one request and do not store it in a database or attach it to you.
• Song and artist names. When you open lyrics, the track title, artist, album, and duration are sent to our server, which forwards them to LRCLIB, a free lyrics database, to look up the words. Same handling: used for the request, not stored by us.
• Playback. Videos play through YouTube's official embedded player, which loads directly from YouTube. Google receives the usual information a video request involves — including your IP address, device and browser details, and which video was requested — and may set cookies or similar identifiers. That processing is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, not by this one.

Our server runs on Vercel, which keeps short-lived operational request logs (including IP addresses) for security and reliability, as any web host does. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

Advertising and analytics

We serve no ads of our own and run no advertising SDKs. YouTube's embedded player may show ads before or during a video; those are served by Google, and we neither control nor receive money from them.

The website uses Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without tracking individuals across sites. The Android app does not include analytics at all — it is disabled in the native build.

Children

Youtugtog is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Video content itself comes from YouTube and is subject to YouTube's own policies.

Your choices

Because we hold no account and no profile, there is nothing on our side to export or delete. To remove everything Youtugtog has stored, clear the app's storage (Android Settings → Apps → Youtugtog → Storage → Clear data) or clear site data for youtugtog.vercel.app in your browser.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above changes with it. Material changes will be noted here before they take effect.
