Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026

Makers on Stream ("we", "us", or "our") operates https://makersonstream.app, a directory and calendar service for maker and craft streamers and their viewers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Account information

When you register, we collect your email address, display name, password (stored as a secure hash), timezone, and account role (viewer or creator).

Creator profile information

If you create a maker profile, we may store your bio, avatar, categories, tags, project spotlight, schedule events, and public profile URL.

Connected platform data (Twitch and YouTube)

If you choose to connect Twitch or YouTube, we request read-only access to sync your public channel information and scheduled streams. Specifically:

  • Twitch: channel ID, display name, email (if granted), upcoming schedule data, and live status.
  • YouTube: channel ID, channel name, upcoming live broadcast schedule, and live status via the youtube.readonly scope.

We use this data only to display your connected platforms on your profile and to populate your public schedule and calendar. We do not upload, edit, delete, or post content to Twitch or YouTube on your behalf.

Viewer activity

Logged-in viewers may favorite creators, bookmark events, and subscribe to personalized calendar feeds. We store these preferences linked to your account.

Technical data

We use session cookies to keep you logged in, CSRF tokens to protect forms, and may record IP addresses for login rate limiting and security.

How we use your information

  • Provide and operate the service (profiles, discovery, calendars, reminders).
  • Sync schedules from connected Twitch and YouTube accounts.
  • Send account-related email (verification, password reset, optional event reminders).
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these cases:

  • Public profiles: creator bios, schedules, and connected platform names/URLs you choose to make public.
  • Service providers: hosting and email delivery needed to run the site.
  • Legal requirements: when required by law or to protect rights and safety.

Data retention

We retain account data while your account is active. If you disconnect Twitch or YouTube, we deactivate the connection and stop syncing new data. You may request account deletion by contacting us.

Your choices

  • Disconnect platforms: Dashboard → Connections → Disconnect for Twitch or YouTube.
  • Update profile: edit your account and profile settings in the Dashboard.
  • Delete account: email us at admin@makersonstream.app.

Third-party services

OAuth connections are subject to Twitch and Google/YouTube privacy policies. We only access the permissions you approve during the connection flow.

Children's privacy

The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised date at the top of this page.
