Privacy Policy
byImprint, LLC (“Imprint,” “we,” “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Last updated: April 12, 2026
1. What We Collect
Information you provide
- Name and email address (via contact or inquiry forms)
- Niche or creator you are researching (via inquiry forms)
- Payment information (processed by Stripe, never stored on our servers)
Information collected automatically
- Basic analytics data (page views, referral source) via privacy-respecting analytics
- IP address and browser type (standard web server logs)
What we do not collect
- We do not use tracking cookies for advertising
- We do not build user profiles for targeted advertising

2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to report inquiries and deliver intelligence reports
- To process payments for purchased reports

- To conduct outreach about our intelligence products (you can opt out at any time)
Lawful basis (GDPR Art. 6): we process professional contact details of business decision-makers under legitimate interest to offer relevant commercial intelligence services. Payment and report-fulfillment processing is under contract performance. Every outreach email includes a one-click unsubscribe link; opting out withdraws processing for that purpose immediately.
3. Public Creator Data
Our intelligence reports are built from publicly available data on YouTube creators, including subscriber counts, video statistics, and public comment threads. This data is collected through the YouTube Data API in accordance with YouTube’s Terms of Service.
We do not collect private or non-public data from creators. If you are a creator and want to know what data we hold about your public channel, or request corrections, email james@byimprint.com.

Each of these services has their own privacy policy. We only share the minimum information necessary for each service to function.
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. We use HTTPS for all data transmission. Access to personal data is limited to Imprint’s founders and is protected by authentication.
6. Data Retention
