Privacy Policy

Last updated November 3, 2026

Channelist doesn’t collect personal data. It has no accounts, no servers of its own, no ads and no analytics. Your library is stored on your devices and, if you use iCloud sync, in your private iCloud account.

Who makes Channelist

Channelist is made by Lukáš Vraný, an independent developer in the Czech Republic (“we” in this policy). If you have a question about your privacy, write to support@channelistapp.com.

What stays on your device

Channelist keeps your library on your device: the channels and categories you follow, video titles, thumbnails and lengths, which videos you’ve watched and where you stopped, your favorites, your queue and your settings. We have no access to any of it.

iCloud sync

With Pro, Channelist can sync your library between your devices through iCloud. The data is stored in the private iCloud database of your Apple Account, and the synced fields are stored encrypted. We can’t read it. If you aren’t signed in to iCloud, or you turn off iCloud for Channelist, nothing is synced. iCloud is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.

YouTube API Services

Channelist uses YouTube API Services. Information that YouTube and Google receive is handled under the Google Privacy Policy, and your use of YouTube content is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service.

To show and play videos, the app contacts YouTube and Google directly from your device:

• Channel feeds. To find new videos, the app downloads the public feeds of the channels you follow from youtube.com. When you add a channel, it may also open the channel’s public page to find its ID.
• Thumbnails are loaded from i.ytimg.com.
• Video details such as length come from the YouTube Data API at googleapis.com, using Channelist’s own API key. These requests contain only video IDs. Details from the API are kept for at most 30 days, then refreshed or deleted.
• The video player is YouTube’s embedded player, loaded from youtube-nocookie.com. YouTube may store and read cookies or similar data on your device and collect information about playback. Channelist doesn’t control the player.

Like any request on the internet, these requests reveal your IP address and basic device information to Google. Channelist never signs in to your Google account and doesn’t access your YouTube account.

Purchases

Pro and the free trial are handled by Apple through the App Store. We don’t receive your name, email address or payment details.

Crash reports

If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. You can turn this off in Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Analytics & Improvements.

This website

channelistapp.com doesn’t use cookies, analytics or third-party content. It’s hosted by Vercel, which processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse.

Deleting your data

• Deleting the app removes everything it stored on that device.
• To remove synced data, open iCloud storage in your Apple Account settings on any of your devices, choose Channelist and delete its data.

Children

Channelist doesn’t collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because we don’t hold personal data about you, there is nothing for us to give you, correct or delete. Data in iCloud is managed by Apple, and data that YouTube receives is managed by Google. If you live in the EU, you can also contact your data protection authority; in the Czech Republic it is the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů).

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
