Your data in NewStudio

NewStudio sits right inside of your YouTube Studio, that you use on a daily, or possibly even hourly basis. So here's an outlook into what we handle, why we handle it, and your control over it.

This covers both the website (https://newstudio.app) and the Chrome extension. Whenever it differs, we'll say so. This page is live, and will be updated over time with NewStudio changes.

Here's how we think about your data

Before the specifics, a few principles guide every decision we make.

• Collect a minimal amount, as little as needed. If a feature doesn't need information to crucially work, we'd rather not have it.
• Keep as much on-device as possible. Many of our features work entirely in your browser.
• Never sell data.
• Be plain about it. Explain in the simplest of terms.

When you use the website

Most of what we store is tied to giving you an account and working subscription.

Account & sign-in

When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, profile photo, and a Google account identifier. We use these to create your NewStudio account, show you as signed in, and send important account or billing emails. We never receive or store your Google password.

Billing & subscription

Payments are handled by Stripe, a trusted payment processor. We keep a reference to your Stripe customer record and your current plan status (for example, whether Premium is active). We never see or store your full card number. That stays with Stripe.

Sign-in activity

For account security, we record when a sign-in happens and a rough, network-level location derived from your IP address. This helps us spot suspicious activity. We keep these security logs only as long as they're useful, then they age out.

Site analytics

Like most websites, we use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages and features people find helpful, like which pages get visited and the general type of device or browser in use. This is used in aggregate to make the product better, not to build a profile of you.

Referrals & creator partners

If you arrive through a creator's referral link, we note that connection so the right person gets credit if you subscribe. Any identifiers used for this are stored in a privacy-preserving form and expire automatically.

When you use the Chrome extension

The extension only runs on YouTube and YouTube Studio. It does not watch your browsing anywhere else. Here's what it touches:

Your settings

The features you turn on and off, and your preferences for them, are saved so your setup is there every time you open Studio.

Reading the page you're on

To add things like cleaner analytics, live counts, and layout tweaks, the extension reads parts of the YouTube and Studio pages you already have open. This is what lets it draw its enhancements in the right place, and it happens only on YouTube.

Premium status

When you're signed in, the extension confirms whether your account has Premium so that paid features unlock for you and stay locked for everyone else.

Usage (only if you opt in)

If you choose to share usage data with us, it's used for one thing: a lightweight count of which features get used, so we know what to improve next. This is completely optional, and you can turn it on or off at any time inside the extension, under the settings icon next to your profile.

What we don't do

It's worth being just as clear about the lines we don't cross:

• We don't sell or rent your personal information.
• We don't store your full payment card details.
• We don't track your browsing outside of YouTube.
• We don't post, comment, or change anything on your channel without you doing it yourself.

Your choices and control

You can request a copy or deletion of your account data at any time by emailing contact@newstudio.app. Please use the subject “My data” for a faster response. You can manage or cancel a subscription from your billing page, and you can remove the extension at any time to stop all of its in-browser activity. For the complete legal detail, see our Privacy Policy.
