Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-10-13

This policy explains what personal data is processed when you use earnoscope.com ("Earnoscope"). Data controller: Mustafa Güney (sole proprietorship), Türkiye. Contact: info@earnoscope.com.

Data we process

  • Calculator inputs: the numbers you set are processed in your browser and are not stored as personal data on our servers.
  • Channel data: when you search by channel name, the channel's public statistics (subscribers, views, video count) are fetched from the YouTube Data API and cached. This is publicly available channel information.
  • Technical logs: IP addresses in error and system logs are truncated before storage.
  • Search logs: when you search for a channel, an artist or an estimate, we record what you typed, the result found, the category you chose, your country (country level only) and your IP address in masked form (last part removed). We do this to see which channels people look for, improve the service and detect abuse. Logs are deleted after 90 days.
  • Visit statistics: We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure speed. It uses no cookies, does not identify you and does not track you across sites; we only see aggregate numbers (e.g. page views, country, browser type).
  • Removal requests: the email address and details you submit are kept only to handle your request.
  • Account (optional): if you sign in, we store your email address, language and currency preference, and the channels you save. We keep no password; you sign in with a one-time link sent to your email or with your Google account. With Google sign-in we only receive your email address and name.
  • Weekly digest email (optional): if you turn it on in your account, we email a summary of your saved channels every Monday. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link; it is entirely up to you.
  • Spotify artist data: when you look up an artist in the Spotify calculator, the name and monthly listener count shown on the artist's public Spotify page are fetched and cached for 24 hours. We use the open music database MusicBrainz to match artist names to Spotify pages.
