This Privacy Policy explains what information Tulip ("we," "us") collects when you use the Tulip website, why we collect it, and what control you have over it. Tulip is a curated directory of AI-generated video content on YouTube — we do not host, store, or re-upload any video content. All playback happens through YouTube's own official embedded player.
We collect the minimum needed to make the features you actually use work:
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, profile photo | When you sign in with Google | To identify your account and personalize the app |
| Watchlist ("My List") | When you save a title | So your saved list persists across visits |
| Watch history & playback position | While you watch something, signed in | To power "Continue Watching" |
| Liked videos | When you like a video in Tulip | To show your like status when you return, and to submit the like to YouTube on your behalf |
| Language preference | When you choose one in Settings | To show Tulip's interface in your preferred language |
| YouTube subscribe/like actions | When you click Subscribe or Like | To perform the real action on your actual YouTube account, via Google's authorization |
We do not collect payment information (Tulip does not charge for anything), and we do not use advertising trackers.
When you sign in with Google, Tulip requests a permission scope
(youtube.force-ssl) that allows it to subscribe to channels and like videos
on your behalf, on your real YouTube account. Tulip only uses this
permission when you directly click "Subscribe" or the like button — it is never used automatically
or in the background. You can revoke this permission at any time via your
Google Account permissions page.
Account data is stored using Google Firebase (Authentication and Firestore Database), a third-party infrastructure provider. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers or other third parties.
Tulip is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change accordingly.
