Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

Ken Kais, trading as BuzzBeam, based in Queensland, Australia, is responsible for the personal information described here. Questions or requests go to ken@kenkais.com.

This policy covers the yaatuber website and the purchase process. It does not describe the internals of the desktop application.

What we collect, and why

Your email address

When you buy, Stripe passes us the email address you entered at checkout. We store it because it is your licence: it is what the download page checks to confirm you are entitled to the software. We also use it to reply to you if you contact support.

Payment details

Handled entirely by Stripe. We never receive or store your card number, expiry, or security code. Stripe holds the payment record and shows us the amount, the date and your email address. See Stripe’s privacy policy (opens in a new tab).

Affiliate referrals

If you arrive through an affiliate link, we set a signed cookie recording which affiliate sent you, so they are credited if you buy. It lasts 30 days.

When that link is first followed we record the referral: the affiliate’s code, which page you landed on, any campaign tags in the link, and the referring website. We do not send your IP address with it, and this record is not linked to you personally unless you go on to buy.

Your IP address

Used only to rate-limit our own endpoints so they cannot be abused. It is held in memory for the length of the rate-limit window and is not written to a database or shared. Our hosting providers keep their own standard server logs.

What we do not do

• No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no advertising or profiling trackers. There is no third-party analytics package installed on this site.
• We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.
• We do not send marketing email you did not ask for.

Cookies we set

yt_attr

Signed, HTTP-only. Records which affiliate referred you so commission is paid correctly. Expires after 30 days.

ref

An older, plain version of the same thing. Still read so visitors tagged before we changed the format are not dropped mid-visit.

yt_click

Short-lived. Stops a page reload being counted as a second referral click.

yt_aff_session

Signed, HTTP-only. Only set if you log in to the affiliate dashboard. It keeps you signed in.

These are strictly functional. None of them are advertising cookies and none are shared with third parties.

Who we share it with

Only the services needed to actually run the product, each of which acts on our instructions:

• Stripe takes payment and issues receipts.
• Vercel hosts this website.
• Railway hosts the licence database that stores your email address.

These providers operate internationally, so your email address may be stored or processed outside Australia.

We will also disclose information where the law requires it, and we will tell you unless we are prohibited from doing so.

How long we keep it

Your email address is kept for as long as your licence exists, because deleting it would remove your ability to download the software you paid for. Stripe keeps payment records for the period Australian tax and financial-record law requires, which is generally five years.

If you take a refund, your licence is cancelled and your email address is removed from the licence list. The Stripe payment record remains, as the law requires.

Your choices

You can ask us to:

• tell you what we hold about you;
• correct it if it is wrong;
• delete it. Note that deleting your email address ends your access to downloads, so we will confirm you understand that first;
• send you a copy of it.

Email ken@kenkais.com and we will respond within 30 days. You can refuse or delete the cookies above in your browser settings; the affiliate ones only affect whether a referrer gets credited, and none of them are needed to buy or download.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, contact us first. If we cannot resolve it, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, or to the data protection authority where you live.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Cookies that matter are signed and HTTP-only so they cannot be read or forged by scripts in your browser. Administrative endpoints require a secret key. No system is perfectly secure, but the only personal information we hold is an email address.

Children

yaatuber is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. See also our Terms of Sale and Refund Policy.
