This is the official companion site for the WillyB YouTube channel ("WillyB", "we", "us"), at willybgamer.com. This policy explains what information the site handles, why, and the choices you have. Plain English, no surprises.
The short version
You can use almost everything here completely anonymously. We do not sell your data. The only personal details we ever hold are the ones you choose to give us: an email if you join the list, or your name and avatar if you sign in. Anything you post publicly (a comment, a request) is public.
What we collect, and why
- Anonymous on-site activity. When you react, vote in a poll, upvote, build a tier list, post a comment, submit a request, or search the site, that action is stored on our backend. It is tied to a random ID kept in your browser (not your identity) and a one-way hashed version of your IP address used only to prevent spam and abuse. We never store your raw IP, and we cannot work backwards from the hash to you.
- Things you post publicly. Comments and requests, plus any display name you type with them, are shown publicly on the site. Do not put anything private in them.
- Your account (optional). If you sign in with Google or Discord, we receive your name and profile picture from that provider to create your WillyB member profile and sync your progress across devices. We do not get your password, and we never post anything on your behalf.
- Email (optional). If you join the newsletter, your email address is stored by our email provider so we can send the weekly roundup. You can unsubscribe any time from any email.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic (which pages are popular, roughly where visitors come from). This is statistical, not used to identify you personally.
- Your browser storage. Your rank, streak, watch history and tier list are kept in your own browser (localStorage). They never leave your device unless you sign in and choose to sync them.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. The site relies on a few trusted providers to function:
- Supabase hosts the backend database (reactions, comments, accounts).
- Vercel hosts the website.
- Google provides sign-in and analytics.
- Discord provides sign-in.
- MailerLite stores newsletter emails and sends them.
- YouTube serves the embedded video players. Watching a video here means YouTube applies its own policies in the player.
- Ko-fi, Fourthwall and Amazon handle tips, merch and gear links if you click through to them.
Each of these has its own privacy policy covering what it does with data once you interact with it.
Your choices
- Use the site without signing in or giving an email at all.
- Clear your browser storage any time to wipe your local rank, streak and history.
- Unsubscribe from emails with the link in any email.
- Ask us to delete your account, your comments, or your email from the list. Contact us below and we will sort it.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top updates. Material changes will be made clear.
