At CuriousAngle, accessible via our official YouTube channel, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our viewers and subscribers. This policy explains how information is handled when you interact with our video content.

Consent
By subscribing to our channel, leaving comments, or watching our videos, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
Information We Access & How We Use It
We do not own the platform’s servers, but we interact with your data in the following ways:
- Public Interactions: When you “Subscribe,” “Like,” or comment on a video, your YouTube profile name and interaction are public. We may use these comments to engage with you or improve our future video topics.
- YouTube Analytics: We receive aggregated, anonymized data through YouTube Studio. This includes “Watch Time,” “Traffic Sources,” and broad demographic info (age groups/geography). This helps us understand what content our audience enjoys.
- Direct Communication: If you contact us via the email address listed in our “About” section, we use that information solely to respond to your inquiry.
Joint Responsibility with Google
For the purpose of providing channel statistics, CuriousAngle and Google act as Joint Controllers under certain privacy frameworks (like GDPR). While we use the analytics to refine our content, Google is responsible for the actual collection of technical data (IP addresses, device IDs, and watch history).
