privacy
last updated 12 november 2026
The short version: this website doesn't collect anything about you.
Who we are
Why Arcade makes short animated films and publishes them on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube as @whyarcade. This site, whyarcade.com, is where those films are collected.
What this website collects
- No personal data. There are no accounts, forms, comments or sign-ups.
- No cookies, and nothing stored in your browser.
- No analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, and nothing loaded from other companies. The fonts, films and images are served from this site.
Like any web server, the company that hosts this site (Vercel) may keep short-lived technical logs, such as an IP address and the page requested, to keep the site running and secure. We don't use them to identify anyone.
Links to other platforms
The links to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube take you to those platforms, and once you're there, their own privacy policies apply instead of this one.
How we use the platforms' APIs
We publish our own videos to our own accounts through the platforms' official APIs, and we read the performance figures of our own videos, such as views and watch time, to learn what to make next.
- We only access accounts we own and have authorized ourselves.
- We don't collect, store or sell the personal data of viewers, followers or commenters.
- Login tokens are kept in the secure keychain of our own computer, never on this website.
- Data from the platforms is used only to run and improve our own channel. It isn't shared with third parties or used for advertising.
- YouTube API Services: by watching our YouTube content you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy applies. You can revoke our access to a Google account at any time in your Google security settings.
What happens to platform data, and how to remove our apps' access, is on the data deletion page.
Children
The site collects nothing from anyone, children included.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
