Privacy Policy

TubeFantastic provides physical books with QR codes that open curated YouTube videos through the TubeFantastic website, player, and mobile apps. This policy explains what information is used when someone visits the site, scans a QR code, uses Big Screen Mode, or places an order.

TubeFantastic is child-directed and is designed for use with a parent, caregiver, or educator. We try to keep the child-facing video experience narrow: no child accounts, no public profiles, no comments, no open YouTube search, and no TubeFantastic advertising SDK.

When a QR code or video page is opened, TubeFantastic uses the pack, book number, slot number, video title, and YouTube video ID needed to show the selected video. For launch, TubeFantastic does not send video started, video completed, or watch opened analytics events from the child-facing player.

Big Screen Mode uses a temporary pairing session so a phone or tablet can control a TV browser. That session may include a pairing code, session ID, selected video, playback command, playback status, and expiration time.

If camera scanning is used in the mobile app, the camera is used to read the QR code on the device. TubeFantastic does not upload camera images for QR scanning.

If an order is placed, checkout and payment information is handled by Stripe. Shipping and print fulfillment information may be sent to Lulu when live print fulfillment is enabled.

TubeFantastic uses YouTube API Services and the YouTube embedded player to play selected videos. TubeFantastic uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed mode where officially supported. YouTube may still receive information from a viewer's browser or device and may use cookies or similar technologies according to Google and YouTube policies. TubeFantastic does not own, host, or control YouTube video content or YouTube advertising.

Please review the YouTube Terms of Service, the Google Privacy Policy, Google's advertising data practices, and YouTube's embedded player privacy-enhanced mode information.

TubeFantastic uses service providers to run the product, including hosting, database, payment, and print fulfillment providers. These providers process information only as needed to operate the site, apps, checkout, support, and fulfillment.

TubeFantastic does not require children to create an account, enter a name, post content, or communicate with other users. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in a way that requires parental consent, we will delete it or obtain consent as required by applicable law.

A parent or caregiver must acknowledge TubeFantastic's privacy policy and legal terms before using YouTube playback features on a device. That acknowledgment is stored locally on the device and is not sent to TubeFantastic.

Parents, caregivers, and educators can contact us with privacy questions or deletion requests.

We use information to show the right video, keep Big Screen Mode working, process orders, fulfill printed books, respond to support requests, detect broken links, improve reliability, and protect TubeFantastic from fraud or misuse. We do not use TubeFantastic-collected child-facing video playback events for behavioral profiles.

TubeFantastic does not sell personal information, and TubeFantastic does not use personalized advertising in the app.

You can contact TubeFantastic to ask questions, request access to information associated with an order or support request, or request deletion where applicable. Some records may need to be kept for legal, security, accounting, or fulfillment reasons.
