Privacy Policy

TrySpansa (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates a sponsorship marketplace at tryspansa.com that connects agencies & brands with YouTube creators for sponsored content partnerships. We facilitate discovery, negotiation, and payment between both parties.

What we collect depends on how you interact with TrySpansa. We’ve organized this by user type so you can skip to what’s relevant to you.

Website Visitors (no account)

If you browse TrySpansa without signing up, we do not collect personally identifying information. We do not set cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party tracking service. No IP addresses, email addresses, or other identifying data are stored with your activity.

On guide articles (/guides/*), we record anonymous engagement signals — scroll depth, reading time, and which in-page links are clicked — grouped together with a randomly-generated Reader ID stored in your browser’s localStorage. The Reader ID lets us measure whether the same browser returns to read new articles; it is not linked to any identity, email, IP address, or third-party service. These signals are used solely to improve our articles. See Section 06 for browser-storage details.

The channel data you see on our homepage is either publicly available YouTube data or information submitted by creators who have registered on our platform.

Public YouTube Channel Data

We collect publicly available information about YouTube channels using the YouTube API, including channel names, subscriber counts, profile images, and banner images. This data is used to help agencies & brands discover potential creator partners on our platform and may be used in TrySpansa marketing and promotional materials (e.g., website, social media, email campaigns).

If your YouTube channel appears on TrySpansa and you did not register with us, you may request removal by contacting us at privacy@tryspansa.com. We will remove your channel data within 10 business days.

Deal & Payment Data

When agencies & brands and creators enter into sponsorship deals through TrySpansa, we collect deal terms, pricing, messages exchanged between parties, and video performance data (view counts) for deals with performance-based pricing. Payment card details are processed directly by Stripe and never touch our servers.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties or share it with third-party advertisers. TrySpansa may feature publicly available channel data (name, profile image, subscriber count) in its own marketing materials as described in our Terms of Service.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties. We share data only with the service providers listed above, solely for operating TrySpansa.

TrySpansa uses YouTube API Services and Google OAuth 2.0 for authentication and YouTube channel connections. By using TrySpansa, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Please refer to the Google Privacy Policy for information about how Google handles your data.

OAuth Scopes We Request

When you sign in or connect your YouTube channel, TrySpansa requests the following permissions via Google OAuth 2.0. We request only the minimum scopes necessary for the features described below.

Who Sees Your Data

Not all YouTube data is shared equally. Here is exactly who can see what:

What We Do Not Do With Your Data

• Sell, rent, or transfer your YouTube data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third parties.
• Use your YouTube data to serve advertisements of any kind, including retargeting or interest-based ads.
• Use your YouTube data for credit assessments or lending decisions.
• Modify, delete, or upload content to your YouTube channel.
• Access your private messages, emails, or Google Drive files.
• Train AI or machine learning models on your YouTube data.

Data Storage & Retention

YouTube channel data and analytics authorized by creators are refreshed daily via a scheduled process while the channel connection is active. Non-authorized YouTube data (publicly available channel information) is refreshed or removed within 30 days per YouTube API policies. We never store your Google or YouTube password. OAuth access tokens are encrypted at rest and transmitted exclusively over HTTPS.

Revoking Access

You can disconnect your YouTube channel at any time:

• From your TrySpansa creator dashboard (Disconnect Channel button), or
• Via Google's security settings at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions

When you revoke access, we will delete your YouTube data — including stored OAuth tokens, channel data, analytics, and revenue metrics — within 7 calendar days.

Google API Services Compliance

TrySpansa’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Our cookie usage is minimal. We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics.

Anonymous visitors: No cookies are set. Three small non-identifying browser markers are used: two in session memory (sessionStorage) to prevent duplicate view counts and duplicate feedback submissions, and one in persistent localStorage — a random Reader ID that lets us measure whether the same browser returns to read new articles. See the table above for details. These are not tracking: no personal data, no IP storage, no cross-site correlation, no third parties, no advertising, no fingerprinting. The sessionStorage markers clear when you close the tab; the Reader ID persists until you clear your browser data (Safari clears it automatically after 7 days of inactivity).

Do Not Track: Because we do not track users across third-party websites, there is no tracking behavior to modify in response to Do Not Track browser signals.
