Vote in the Dark panel: privacy policy
Last updated: 14 November 2026
The Vote in the Dark panel is a private tool. Only the owner of the Vote in the Dark channel uses it, to publish the channel's own videos to its own YouTube channel, Instagram account and Facebook Page, and to read those posts' statistics. It is not offered to anyone else.
What it accesses
Through the official YouTube, Instagram and Facebook APIs, and only for the channel's own accounts:
- the videos it publishes, with their titles, descriptions and captions;
- the comments it posts;
- the public comments viewers leave on the channel's own videos, which it reads to count votes: the commenter's public channel name and ID, the comment text and when it was posted;
- the posts' statistics, such as views, likes, comments and reach.
What it stores
On the channel owner's own server: the access tokens for these accounts, the posts' statistics, and the vote comments it counted, as the record of each vote. Nothing is sold, shared with third parties or used for advertising.
Google and YouTube
The panel uses YouTube API Services. YouTube's use of data is covered by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
The Vote in the Dark panel's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Deleting your data
To remove the app's access, revoke it on your Google account's third-party access page, and in Facebook (Settings & privacy, then Settings, then Business integrations).
To have stored statistics or your counted vote comments deleted, write to roripohu@gmail.com. They are deleted within 30 days.
