Forked Hour
Privacy policy
Who we are
Forked Hour is an animated story channel on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok. This policy covers this website and "Forked Hour Poster", a private tool the channel's owner uses to publish Forked Hour videos and read the results of audience votes. Contact: forkedhour@gmail.com.
This website
This site has no accounts, forms, cookies, analytics or advertising, and it loads nothing from other websites. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and operations, under its own privacy policy.
Forked Hour Poster
Forked Hour Poster is used only by the channel's owner, only on Forked Hour's own accounts. It connects to Google (YouTube) and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) through their official APIs, with the owner's permission, to:
- upload Forked Hour videos, titles, descriptions, covers and captions to Forked Hour's own channels;
- read the public comments on Forked Hour's own posts, to count audience votes for the next part of a story;
- read view and engagement statistics for Forked Hour's own posts.
Access keys are stored only in the owner's computer keychain. Vote counts and statistics are stored on the owner's computer. When comments are counted, commenter account identifiers are used only to count one vote per account and are discarded once the tally is done; only the totals are kept.
We do not sell, share or transfer this data to anyone, do not use it for advertising, and do not use it to train AI models.
Google user data
Forked Hour Poster's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. YouTube data is used under the YouTube Terms of Service; Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
Removing access and data
The owner can remove the tool's access at any time from the Google account permissions page and from Facebook's Business Integrations settings. To ask about or remove any data relating to you, email forkedhour@gmail.com and we will reply within 30 days.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date.
