Privacy Policy

1. Controller

2. Overview

This website is purely informational. It sets no cookies, uses no analytics or tracking, embeds no advertising networks and loads no social media content. There is no registration and no contact form.

3. Hosting and server logs

This site is hosted by Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA. When you visit, the host processes technically necessary access data transmitted by your browser: IP address, date and time, page requested, volume of data transferred, status code, browser type and version, and operating system.

This processing is necessary for the secure and stable operation of the website. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). This data is not combined with other sources and is not evaluated for marketing purposes. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Vercel. Transfers to the USA are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR and the provider's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

4. Contact by email

If you send an email, your information is processed solely to handle your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry concerns a contract). Messages are deleted once they are no longer required and no statutory retention obligations apply.

5. Links to social networks

The homepage links to the ByteNova profiles on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. These are plain hyperlinks, not embedded content or social plugins. Simply loading this website transfers no data to those providers. Data is only transmitted once you click a link and leave this site, at which point the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

6. The „ByteNova Upload" application

Videos are published using a self-developed, non-public application. It accesses the official APIs of YouTube, TikTok and Instagram exclusively for the accounts of the controller named in section 1.

Purpose and scope

• Uploading the controller's own videos to the controller's own channels
• Setting the associated metadata: title, description, tags, scheduled publication time and the disclosure of AI-assisted content
• Reading the publication status of those same videos

Data processed

The application processes only video files and metadata created by the controller, together with the OAuth access tokens for the controller's own accounts. No data about viewers, followers or any other users is collected, stored or processed. The application has no other users besides the controller.

Storage and disclosure

Access tokens are stored exclusively on a local machine belonging to the controller, protected by restricted file permissions. No storage on third-party servers takes place. Data is not shared with third parties, not sold, and not used for advertising. There is no automated evaluation and no profiling. Data obtained from the platform APIs is not used to build any user profile and is not transferred to any other service.

Retention and revocation

Access tokens are retained only as long as the application is in use. Access can be revoked at any time in the security settings of the respective platform account. Following revocation, the locally stored tokens become invalid and are deleted.

Platform terms

Use of the YouTube API Services is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Use of the TikTok and Meta APIs is subject to the respective developer terms and platform policies.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). An informal message to the email address above is sufficient.

8. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The competent authority here is the Thuringian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Häßlerstraße 8, 99096 Erfurt, Germany.

9. Changes

This policy will be updated if the service or the legal situation changes. The version published on this page applies.
