Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 20, 2026

This policy explains what information is collected when you use this website (dana.lol) and Tripbot, the chat bot that runs in the live chat of the A Dana Life livestream on Twitch and YouTube. It is written in plain language because the honest summary is short: very little information is collected, and none of it is sold.

Who runs this

A Dana Life is operated by A Dana Life, LLC, a company owned by an individual (Dana). Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page.

What is collected

This website. The site is static and does not require an account. If you choose to use the contact page, the name, email address, and message you submit are sent so that your message can be read and answered. The site’s host (Cloudflare) processes standard server request data (such as IP address and browser type) to serve pages and protect against abuse.

Tripbot (Twitch & YouTube live chat). When you type in the live chat of the A Dana Life stream, Tripbot reads public chat messages so it can respond to commands (for example !location, !weather, or !guess). The only information it sees is what the platform makes public: your chat display name and the text of the message you send. Tripbot does not access your email address, private messages, watch history, subscriptions, or any data that isn’t part of the public live chat.

On Twitch, your public display name may be associated with stream features such as the miles leaderboard. On YouTube, Tripbot does not store viewer identity or per-user data — it reads a chat message, responds, and keeps nothing.

How YouTube data is used

Tripbot uses YouTube API Services to read the live chat of the active broadcast and to post replies back into that same chat. By interacting with Tripbot on YouTube, you are also agreeing to the YouTube Terms of Service. Information handled through the YouTube API is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Tripbot’s access to the YouTube channel is authorized by the channel owner, not by individual viewers, so there is no per-viewer login to revoke. The channel owner can revoke Tripbot’s access at any time through the Google security settings. Public chat data read through the API is used only to respond to commands in real time and is not retained, profiled, or shared.

What is not done

  • Your information is not sold or rented to anyone.
  • Information is not used for advertising or ad targeting.
  • No attempt is made to identify viewers beyond their public chat display name.

Data retention

Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond to them. Public YouTube live-chat data is processed transiently and not stored. Twitch chat activity that powers stream features (such as the leaderboard) is kept for as long as those features run, and can be removed on request.

Third-party services

Using this site and stream necessarily involves a few service providers, each with its own privacy policy:

Children

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date at the top of this page.
