1. Scope and who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how Creator Muse, operated by Honeycomb Labs (collectively, “Creator Muse,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), handles personal information when you use the Creator Muse website, applications, and related services (the “Service”).
By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree, do not use the Service or connect a third-party account.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Account information: name, email address, authentication details, profile photo, and account identifiers.
- Creator profile: niche, goals, preferences, platforms, social handles, production style, biography, and onboarding responses.
- Creator content: ideas, prompts, research, hooks, scripts, shot lists, checklists, calendar entries, uploads, feedback, and other material you submit or generate.
- Communications: support requests, feedback, and messages you send us.
Information from Google and YouTube
If you choose to connect YouTube, we use Google OAuth and request read-only access to your YouTube account and YouTube Analytics. Depending on the features you use, we may access:
- Your YouTube channel ID, title, description, thumbnail, custom URL, subscriber count, total views, and video count.
- Recent video IDs, titles, thumbnails, publish dates, views, likes, and comment counts.
- OAuth access and refresh tokens, token expiration time, and connection status so the integration can function.
We do not request permission to upload, edit, or delete your YouTube videos. We do not collect your Google password. Creator Muse does not scrape YouTube; it obtains this information through authorized Google and YouTube APIs.
Information collected automatically
We and our service providers may collect device and browser type, IP address, timestamps, referring pages, pages or features used, session and authentication cookies, approximate location derived from IP address, and diagnostics or security events. We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service.
3. How we collect information
We collect information directly from you, automatically when you use the Service, from accounts you deliberately connect, and from vendors that help us provide authentication, hosting, storage, analytics, security, and AI-powered features.
4. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Create, authenticate, maintain, and secure your account.
- Save your workspace and provide ideas, research, scripts, production tools, analytics, and personalized recommendations.
- Analyze your connected YouTube channel only when you request a feature that needs that information.
- Process uploads and prompts, generate AI-assisted content, and maintain continuity across the creative workflow.
- Respond to support requests and send service, security, or account communications.
- Detect abuse, prevent fraud, enforce our Terms, and comply with law.
- Understand Service performance and improve reliability, usability, and features using information that is aggregated, de-identified, or otherwise processed as permitted by law.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the Service, your consent, and compliance with legal obligations.
5. Google and YouTube API data
Creator Muse’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We use Google and YouTube data only to provide and improve user-facing features that you request, such as channel analytics, recent-post analysis, content-gap suggestions, and personalized creative recommendations. We do not sell Google user data, use it for targeted advertising, or allow humans to read it except with your affirmative permission, for security or abuse investigation, to comply with law, or when the data has been aggregated and anonymized.
Vendors may process Google user data on our behalf only as needed to provide or secure the requested functionality and subject to appropriate obligations. When you request AI analysis of recent posts, relevant YouTube data may be sent to an AI service provider solely to generate that result for you.
Google’s handling of information is described in the Google Privacy Policy. Use of YouTube is also governed by the YouTube Terms of Service.
6. AI-assisted features
When you use an AI feature, we may send your prompt, relevant creator profile information, selected workspace content, and—only when you request connected-channel analysis—relevant YouTube information to AI service providers such as OpenAI. These providers process the information on our behalf to produce the requested result and support safety and reliability.
Please do not submit confidential information or sensitive personal information that is not necessary for your use of the Service, especially information about another person unless you have the right to provide it.
8. Retention and deletion
We keep account and workspace information for as long as your account is active or as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce agreements. The exact period depends on the information’s purpose and sensitivity.
Google and YouTube API data is refreshed or deleted as required by Google’s policies. When you disconnect YouTube, we revoke the connection where supported and clear the stored YouTube access credentials and channel connection information from your active profile. Any other stored Google or YouTube API data is deleted as soon as reasonably possible and no later than 30 calendar days after revocation, except where retention is permitted or required by law.
Deleted information may remain briefly in encrypted backups or security logs until ordinary deletion cycles complete, unless law requires longer retention. Aggregated or de-identified information that can no longer reasonably identify you may be retained.
9. Your choices and controls
- Profile: review or update creator profile details in Settings.
- YouTube: disconnect from Creator Muse Analytics or Settings. You can also revoke access in your Google Account connections.
- Cookies: browser settings can block or delete cookies, but required authentication and security features may stop working.
- Account and data deletion: follow our data deletion instructions or email privacy@creatormuseai.online.
10. Privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or appeal a denied request. You may exercise a request by emailing us. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where an exception applies. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, subject to verification.
You will not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right. We do not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
11. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including access controls, encrypted network transport, managed authentication, and credential restrictions. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Keep your credentials confidential and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access.
12. International data transfers
Creator Muse and its providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, we use recognized safeguards for cross-border transfers.
13. Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can investigate and delete it as appropriate.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Service or law changes. We will post the revised version here and update the “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice when required.
