The following document fulfills the requirements of the GDPR Articles 13 and 14, and informs you about the collection and processing of personal data within our project.  All data is stored in a German datacenter, and therefore the data is subject to German law as well as EU law.  We do not collect any personal data of visitors of the NewPipe website. We do not install cookies on your system, and we do not track our users.  Personal data such as the IP address are only processed for the purpose of serving the pages by our webserver software, and are deleted from the memory immediately after the page has been sent to the user. Server logs To have a minimum of control in scenarios where our website is abused, for example denial-of-service attacks, we configured our webserver to create a so-called acces log. This log file contains a list of all requests made to this server, each request in a separate line. The logged lines contain the following information:  the IP address that was used to make the request a timestamp the URL the HTTP status code the user agent the user‘s browser sends automatically  We need to keep logs of the IP addresses sending requests to our server. As IP addresses are considered personal data and we respect the privacy of our users, we only keep enough of the IP address to be able to able to react to abuse (e.g., DoS and other attacks). Personal data such as the IP address are only processed for the purpose of serving the pages by our webserver software, and are deleted from the memory immediately after the page has been sent to the user. We calculate prefixes of the IP addresses to anonymize them as follows:  For IPv4 addresses, we remove the last two bytes to anonymize them. For example, an IP address such as 12.34.56.78 would be logged as 12.34.0.0. For IPv6 addresses, we remove all bytes but the first two. For example, an IP address such as 2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7344 would be logged as 2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0 (short 2001:0db8::).   Users have the ability to leave comments themselves. We use the excellent isso software to provide this feature. If a user sends a comment, the following data is collected:  mandatory data:  a name (can, but does not have to be a user's real name), allowing users to let others (including the NewPipe project) identify them, for example on other services, such as GitHub.   Data collection and processing by Sentry, our bug report tracking system We maintain an instance of Sentry, a bug tracking and aggregation system, in order to process user-provided bug reports including crash logs and messages. Due to the amount of bug reports we receive every day (varies from a few hundred to a few thousand e-mails every week), we can not check every report for personal data by hand. We ask you to ensure you don't send us any personal data you don't want to share with us.  Every user has the right to request the correction or completion (GDPR Art. 16) or deletion (GDPR Art. 17) or restriction of use (GDPR Art. 18) of the data sent to us at any time.  In many cases, due to our philosophy, the data is highly anonymized. If your data is, and we think it should be, anonymized so that we cannot associate with any user, we can most likely not delete it from our system. In these cases, however, no personal data is collected. In many cases, due to our philosophy, the data is highly anonymized.  According to GDPR Art. 77, you may, at any time, file a complaint about our data processing at your local data protection officer. All data is stored on a dedicated server administrated by the NewPipe project. Neither the hosting provider nor any other third party does have any access to the data, as it is stored encryptedly on the hard disks using so-called full-disk encryption.  The data is processed and stored only for the purposes described above. We will not share any of the data with third parties.
