Creativity Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Creativity ("Creativity+"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. Creativity+ is a streaming platform that lets users browse, watch, and interact with films, series, games, and backstage content produced by Creativity.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

Information you provide to us:

When you log in via Google, we receive your Google ID, name, email address, and profile picture. If you grant YouTube access, we also receive your YouTube Channel ID and YouTube Membership status. This information is used solely to create and manage your account and to verify your eligibility for exclusive member content.

Your profile (all optional):

After your first sign-in we invite you to review a short profile: your display name, preferred language, and — entirely optionally — your age group, gender, a link to your YouTube channel, and a profile picture of your own instead of the one from Google. The optional items are collected on the basis of your consent, are never pre-filled with a guess, are never shown to other viewers, and are never sold or shared. You may skip the invitation entirely; we will not ask again. You can change or erase any of it at any time from the menu under your name, and clearing a field deletes the stored value. If you upload a picture, the 1:1 crop happens in your browser and only the cropped square is sent to us — the original photo, and any location data your camera saved inside it, never leaves your device. Removing an uploaded picture deletes it from our storage and restores your Google one. Your YouTube channel link is not read from Google: we only pre-fill a suggestion from the channel we already identify for membership checks, and nothing is stored unless you save it.

Information automatically collected:

• Page views and duration of visit.
• Referral sources (the URL that linked you to us).
• Video engagement data (watch time, pause timestamps, completion status).
• Device type and general location (Country/Region based on IP).

Anonymous Demographic Data:

We may record age and gender data associated with page views for aggregate analysis, but this is stored separately from your personal user profile to maintain anonymity.

3. Google User Data

This section specifically addresses how we handle data obtained through Google Sign-In and Google API Services.

How We Access Google User Data:

We use Google OAuth 2.0 to authenticate you. During sign-in, we request access to your basic profile information (name, email, profile picture) and, with your consent, read-only access to your YouTube account to determine your channel ID and membership status.

How We Use Google User Data:

Your Google profile data is used exclusively to create and maintain your user account on Creativity+. Your YouTube channel ID and membership status are used only to verify whether you are an active Creativity+ YouTube channel member, which grants access to exclusive content.

How We Store Google User Data:

Your Google profile information and YouTube data are stored securely in our database. We retain this data only for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all associated Google user data is permanently removed.

How We Share Google User Data:

We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your Google user data with any third parties. Your data is used solely within Creativity+ for the purposes described in this policy.

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for the following purposes:

• Service Provision: To manage your account, verify your YouTube membership, and allow you to log in.
• User Experience: To remember your video playback progress and provide personalized content recommendations.
• Analytics: To analyze trends, administer the website, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
• Communication: If you have opted-in, to send you emails regarding new content releases.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to store your preferences and analyze site traffic. You can control your cookie preferences via our Cookie Settings.

6. YouTube API Services

Our application uses YouTube API Services. By using our website, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and acknowledge the Google Privacy Policy. We access your YouTube membership status solely to verify eligibility for content and do not share this data with external third parties.

Recommendations ("More like this")

Our editors score every film, series and game against a list of descriptive tags — how funny it is, how scary, how fast-paced. The "More like this" row on a page is worked out by comparing those scores between titles.

This does not use anything about you. It is calculated from the two titles alone, so every visitor sees exactly the same suggestions on the same page, whether or not you are signed in. We do not build a profile of your tastes, and your likes, reactions and viewing history are not used to order what you see.

The calculation happens on our own servers, from our own database. No recommendation service, advertising network or other third party is involved, and nothing about your visit is shared for this purpose.

7. Data Storage and Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. Your data is stored in secure, access-controlled databases. However, no electronic transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. To request deletion of your account and all associated data (including Google user data), you can use the "Revoke Access" option in your profile menu. This will permanently and irreversibly delete your account, watch history, preferences, and all stored Google user data. You may also contact us at privacy@creativityfilms.gr
