# Privacy Policy — LlamaCasty

Last updated: 30 October 2026

LlamaCasty is a desktop application for streaming to YouTube. It runs entirely
on your computer. This page states exactly what leaves your machine, what is
kept locally, and what is never collected.

## What is stored on your computer

| Data | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your layout: scenes, sources, assets, settings | `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\ytLlive.db` | So the app looks the same next time |
| YouTube sign-in token | `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\ytLlive.auth`, encrypted with Windows DPAPI (CurrentUser) | So you stay signed in; only your Windows account can decrypt it |
| Diagnostic log | `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\startup.log`, capped at 5 MB | To diagnose crashes you report |
| Recordings | the folder you choose | Your files; the app never uploads them unless you press Publish |

Nothing else is written to disk. There is no analytics service, no crash
reporter, no advertising SDK and no telemetry of any kind.

## What is sent, and to whom

**Google / YouTube** — only when you sign in and go live, using your own
account:
- your channel information, live broadcasts, streams and chat, to run the
  stream and show the chat overlay;
- your watch-time and subscriber statistics, to draw the YPP progress and
  scoreboard tiles;
- your recording, only if you press Publish.

**Nowhere else.** The app talks to `googleapis.com` and the YouTube ingest
servers. It does not contact the publisher's servers, and no content of yours
is stored on them.

## What is never done

- **Chat is rendered, never stored.** Live chat is drawn on your stream and
  held in memory; it is not written to disk, not uploaded, and not analysed.
- No viewer, member or donor information is retained after the session ends.
- No microphone, camera or screen content is transmitted anywhere except the
  YouTube stream you start yourself.

## Your controls

Deleting `%APPDATA%\ytLlive` removes every local trace: layout, assets, logs
and the saved sign-in. Signing out inside the app deletes the saved token.

## Children

The app requires a YouTube account, and YouTube requires users to be 13 or
older. The app is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.

## Changes and contact

Material changes will be dated in this file. Questions:
