2. Personal Information Collection

Kisa collects personal information from users during the donation process. This information may include:

User-provided information: Users have the option to donate anonymously, entering any name they choose, which will be displayed to donors. Additionally, users can send messages along with their donations.

Automatically collected information: Kisa does not collect any personal information automatically unless the user is logged in. In such cases, information such as IP addresses may be collected for security purposes.

When users register with Kisa, they have the option to sign up as a YouTuber or using their Google account. Both options utilize Google OAuth for authentication. When users opt to continue with the YouTuber option, Kisa accesses their YouTube channel data using the Google YouTube Data V3 API. This includes sensitive information such as YouTube thumbnails, title, channel custom URL, and channel ID.

Kisa does not collect sensitive user information such as card details unless users choose to remember their card for future payments. Kisa also offers payment options such as Google Pay and Apple Pay.

It's important to note that Kisa's collection and use of user data comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy and adhere to the principles of transparency, security, and limited use outlined therein.
