Introduction

PotatoHotDog is a community-powered platform providing free AI tools for Twitch streamers, including text-to-speech (TTS), voice cloning, AI channel point integrations, and other tools designed to enhance stream interaction and accessibility.

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the platform, including visitors to our websites and users who log in and use our hosted tools or public APIs.

What Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data in order to provide and operate the Service:

Account data - When you log in via Twitch, we receive your Twitch user ID, username, display name, and profile image URL. We do not receive your Twitch password.
Uploaded files - Voice samples (WAV files), video files (MP4), and any other media files you upload to use with our features.
AI-generated content - Cloned voice models, TTS audio outputs, AI text responses, and other content generated through the Service on your behalf.
Configuration and settings - Browser source settings, OBS notepad content, channel point configurations, API keys, and other user-defined settings.
Usage and request data - Server-side logs including IP addresses, timestamps, API call records, and related operational data collected for security and platform operation.

Twitch Login and Authentication

PotatoHotDog uses Twitch OAuth for user authentication. When you choose to log in, you are redirected to Twitch, where you authorize PotatoHotDog to access basic profile information associated with your Twitch account.

The information we receive from Twitch at login is limited to your Twitch user ID, username, display name, and profile image URL. We do not receive or store your Twitch password.

Your use of Twitch login is also subject to Twitch's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. PotatoHotDog is not responsible for Twitch's data practices.

Cookies and Local Storage

PotatoHotDog may use cookies, session storage, or local storage on your device to maintain your login session and store user preferences necessary for the Service to function.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or fingerprinting techniques.

Session and preference data stored on your device is used solely to operate the Service and is not shared with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Uploaded Files and Voice Samples

Certain features allow you to upload files such as voice samples (WAV) and video files (MP4). These files are stored on our servers and associated with your account in order to provide the features you have chosen to use.

Voice samples uploaded for cloning may be transmitted to third-party AI providers to generate a cloned voice model. By uploading a voice sample, you acknowledge that the audio may be processed by such providers.

You are solely responsible for only uploading files and voice samples that you have the legal right to use. Please refer to our Terms of Service for details on your obligations regarding uploaded content.

AI Generation Requests

When you use AI-powered features (such as TTS generation, voice cloning, or AI text responses), the input data you provide - including text prompts, voice samples, and configuration settings - may be transmitted to third-party AI and voice synthesis providers to fulfill your request.

Generated outputs (audio files, text responses, voice models) are stored on our servers and associated with your account. These outputs may be retained subject to our data retention policy.

We do not sell your prompts, inputs, or generated outputs to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

To provide and operate the Service, including authenticating your account and processing your generation requests.
To store and retrieve your uploaded files, generated content, and settings.
To maintain and improve the platform, including diagnosing issues and monitoring performance.
To enforce our Terms of Service, investigate abuse, and maintain the security of the platform.
To comply with legal obligations.
