ClipSimp privacy policy

LAST UPDATED NOVEMBER 8, 2026

ClipSimp is the streaming tool Hearts runs on their own computer to make clips and run live shows. It is not a public service: nobody else signs in to it and it has no other users. This page explains what ClipSimp does with Google data, and what hearts.fm itself collects.

What ClipSimp reads from Google

ClipSimp signs in with Google using one read-only permission, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly. It uses it to find Hearts' own live broadcast while a stream is running and read that broadcast's live chat, so chat messages can be shown on the stream. It asks for nothing else.

What it keeps

Chat messages are held in memory for the stream that's running and are dropped when the stream or ClipSimp stops. They are not saved, sold or shared.
The sign-in token stays on that one computer, so ClipSimp can keep reading chat without signing in every time. It is never sent anywhere except to Google. Signing out in ClipSimp deletes it.
The only other thing saved is a count of today's API calls, to stay inside YouTube's daily limit. It holds no chat.
ClipSimp never posts, comments, uploads, deletes or changes anything on YouTube or any Google account.

ClipSimp's use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Taking access back

Go to myaccount.google.com → Security → Third-party connections, pick ClipSimp and remove its access. ClipSimp then can't read chat until it's signed in again.
