Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes how Social Blade, LLC (“Social Blade”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the Social Blade website, apps, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to have your personal information handled as described in this Policy.

Changes to This Policy

Social Blade may change any of the terms and conditions in this Policy at any time and for any reason. A notice of any material change will be posted on Social Blade’s website, and you are responsible for reviewing such changes. If you do not agree with a change, you must stop using Social Blade’s website, uninstall our apps, and refrain from using our data.

Public Information

Social Blade is not in the private-data business. The statistics collected and displayed on Social Blade are public data.

You can think of Social Blade as a very thorough and diligent journalist. The figures you see here are the same publicly displayed statistics — follower counts and the like — that you would see by visiting the social media platforms directly and recording them each day. If information is not shown publicly on those platforms, it is not collected or shown on our website either. Other than the information needed to operate the Service itself, as described below, we do not collect or store private information.

Cookies and Analytics

Like the rest of the Internet, we use cookies. Cookies are what let you log in to a website once and stay logged in until you log out, and what allow us to remember your preferences, instead of requiring your login and password on every page.

You come to Social Blade for analytics, and analytics likewise helps us understand how the Service is used — how many people visit, which parts of the site are used most often, and so on. We use analytics tools, including self-hosted analytics, for this purpose. It helps us build out the features you are interested in and avoid spending time on the ones you are not.

Advertising

We provide many of our services free of charge. Servers cost money, as does the team that creates and maintains them, so we monetize the site through advertising. Our ad provider, Longitude, maintains its own privacy policy, which you can read via this link. If you prefer an ad-free experience, we offer paid subscriptions that remove ads.

Payments

Paid subscriptions and other payments are processed by third-party payment processors, PayPal and Stripe. Your payment card details are transmitted directly to those processors and never touch Social Blade’s servers.

Subscription management is available from your billing settings page. Account credits and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy and, for Business API credits, the Developer Terms of Service.

Private Data

What private information do we hold? In short, not much.

If you create an account with us, you do so with an email address and a password. Your password is cryptographically hashed in our database so that no one — not even us — can read it. That said, we recommend you not reuse a password from another site, because we cannot guarantee that other sites follow the same practices.

If you have paid for one of our services, your name and the email address associated with the purchase are also on file. As noted above, your payment card details are handled only by our payment processors (PayPal and Stripe), never by us.

If you authenticate a social media account with us, we store an authorization token that creates this connection. We never store — and never even have access to — your passwords for third-party services. We do not store any private data accessed via such a token; token access is used for verification purposes, such as confirming that you are the verified owner of the account or whether your account qualifies for a service.

Lastly, the way the Internet works, every visit to any website has an IP address associated with it, so IP addresses are logged in connection with your account as well. This is critical for preventing fraud and for the security and operation of the Service.

To end this section, we want to be abundantly clear: the private data described above exists to operate the Service. We do not sell your private data, and we do not share it except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to operate, maintain, and improve the Service; to process payments and manage subscriptions; to prevent fraud and abuse and protect the security of the Service; and to communicate with you about your account and important service notices.

Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, the personal information associated with it is deleted, except information we retain as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes (including payment disputes), prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements. The public statistics displayed on Social Blade are not personal account data and are retained in accordance with our Terms of Service.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including cryptographically hashed passwords. Payment card details never reach our servers; they go directly to our payment processors, as described under Payments above. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Private Data Removal

As described above, there are two types of private data: the information used to create and maintain your account, which can only be removed by deleting your account entirely, and, if you have authenticated a third-party social media account, an authorization token for that connection.

You can remove the authorization token for a third-party authenticated account in three different, equally good ways: 1) at the third-party site via its own tools, 2) in your dashboard in the authenticated accounts section, or 3) by contacting us via a support ticket and responding to any follow-up questions needed to authenticate you. Whichever method you choose, that is all you need to do — there is nothing else to delete, because we do not collect private data from your third-party account.

To remove your account entirely, including all connected accounts, you can do so via your account settings page.

When Social Blade May Share Your Information

We may disclose the information we collect from you to comply with the law, a court order, or other legal process.

We may disclose the information we collect from you where we believe it is necessary to investigate or prevent illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, or violations of our Terms of Service or this Policy, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

We share information with our payment processors (PayPal and Stripe), and through them with card networks and financial institutions, as necessary to process payments and to respond to payment disputes and chargebacks — including providing transaction records and access logs as dispute evidence, as described in our Refund Policy. We may also share information with service providers who process it on our behalf to operate the Service.

We may share aggregate, non-identifying information about users with third parties for marketing, advertising, research, or similar purposes.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children. Consistent with our Terms of Service, you must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete it.

User-Generated Content

You are welcome to post content on our Discord Chat or elsewhere on the Service. If you post content, all of the information posted and the username you identify yourself with will be available to the public. Social Blade cannot prevent your posting from being used in a manner that would violate this Policy, the law, or your personal privacy.

Third-Party Links

The Service includes links to third-party websites. Access to and use of linked websites is governed by those third-party websites’ privacy policies. Social Blade is not responsible for their information practices.

Data Sources

In order to keep statistical data updated, Social Blade utilizes API services of third parties including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, and YouTube. Unless specific access is requested at the time of use (for example, to validate your identity), we only gather publicly available data from each of the API services, not anything private about your account.

Social Blade uses YouTube API Services. By using Social Blade you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. For information on how Google handles your data, see the Google Privacy Policy.

Disputes

Any dispute relating to this Policy is governed by the dispute-resolution, governing-law, arbitration, and liability provisions of our Terms of Service, which are incorporated into this Policy by reference.
