This policy explains what information is collected when you use YTmate, how it is used, and what rights you have.
YTmate is a free tool for YouTube creators, operated by Niladri from Nexus Orb trading as Nexus Orb, based in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Niladri from Nexus Orb is the Data Controller — meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing personal data in connection with this website.
We collect two distinct categories of information, through very different mechanisms:
When you visit YTmate, our web hosting provider our web hosting service provider automatically records standard server access log data. This is industry-standard practice for all web servers and cannot be disabled at the site level. This data includes:
This data is processed by our hosting provider as a data processor acting on our behalf, in accordance with their
The YTmate checklist app uses your browser's localStorage to save your progress between page loads. This data is stored exclusively on your own device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. This includes: We do not ask for, collect, or store: your name, email address, account credentials, payment information, location data, or any other personally identifiable information beyond what is described above.2b. App Functionality Data (Stored Locally in Your Browser Only)
2c. Information You Do Not Provide
This data is never used for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose.
For users in the European Union, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions where the GDPR or equivalent law applies, our legal bases for processing are:
| Data Type | Legal Basis | Article Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Server log data (IP addresses, access logs) | Legitimate Interests — maintaining server security and stability | GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) |
| App localStorage data | Strictly Necessary — without this storage the core functionality of the app cannot work | ePrivacy Directive (implemented locally); GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Legal compliance | Legal Obligation — where required by applicable law | GDPR Art. 6(1)(c) |
We have conducted a Legitimate Interests Assessment (LIA) for server log processing and concluded that our interest in maintaining a secure and functional website does not override the rights and freedoms of individual visitors, particularly given the limited nature of the data collected and the standard nature of web server logging.
Server access logs are retained by our hosting provider in accordance with their standard data retention policies, which typically range from 30 to 90 days. After this period, logs are deleted or anonymised. We do not independently retain server log data beyond what our hosting provider holds on our behalf.
Data stored in your browser's localStorage is retained only until one of the following occurs:
We use one third-party service in the operation of this website:
This website is hosted through a third-party web hosting service. When you visit any website, the server automatically records standard access log data — this is a technical function of how the web works and is not unique to this site.
The YTmate application itself does not set any cookies. We use browser localStorage exclusively for app functionality, and localStorage is technically distinct from cookies — it is not transmitted with HTTP requests and cannot be accessed by our server.
However, Our hosting provider may set technical or session cookies as part of normal server infrastructure management (for example, load balancing or security functions). These are strictly necessary operational cookies and are not used for tracking or advertising. Please refer to
YTmate does not use:
All code on this page is self-contained. The only external network request made when you visit this page is the initial HTTP request to our hosting provider's servers to load the page itself.
Server log data processed by our hosting provider may be transferred to and stored in countries outside your own, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom. Our hosting provider implements appropriate safeguards for international transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. For details of specific transfer mechanisms, refer to
App localStorage data is never transferred internationally or in any other way — it remains on your device only.
YTmate is a professional tool intended for adult content creators. It is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in EU jurisdictions where a higher age applies under GDPR Article 8).
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has used this service and data has been collected, please contact us at the details in Section 17 and we will take appropriate action.
If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR respectively:

| Right to Rectification (Art. 16) | You can request correction of inaccurate personal data. |
| Right to Erasure (Art. 17) | You can request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten"). |

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) may apply. You have the right to:
We do not sell personal information. The only personal data we are involved in processing is server log data held by our hosting provider, which qualifies as a "service provider" under CCPA. To exercise rights relating to server log data, contact us or our hosting provider directly.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act) is India's primary data protection legislation. As a service operated from India, we comply with its requirements. Under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:
The DPDP Act requires a lawful basis for processing personal data and mandates that data is processed only for specified, clear purposes. Our processing of server log data is limited to the legitimate purpose of maintaining website security and functionality, consistent with DPDP obligations.
To exercise any of the rights described above:
We will not charge a fee for reasonable requests. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests relating to your personal data.
If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority:
We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority. Please contact us first using the details in Section 17.
