Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-12

Braidcast is a desktop application. It runs entirely on your computer and is designed so that your data stays on your device.

Data we access

When you connect a streaming account, Braidcast requests an OAuth access token (and, where applicable, a refresh token) from that platform. These tokens authorize Braidcast to start broadcasts and read basic channel information on your behalf. Braidcast requests the minimum scopes required to enable streaming.

Where your data is stored

OAuth tokens and connection settings are stored locally on your device and are encrypted at rest. On Windows this uses the operating system's Data Protection API (DPAPI), which binds the encrypted data to your user account. Braidcast does not transmit these tokens to any server operated by us.

Data we do not collect

We do not operate an account system and we do not send your personal data, credentials, or stream content to our own servers. Your broadcast media travels directly from your device to the streaming platforms you connect.

Third-party services

When you choose to connect a platform, your use of that platform is governed by its own privacy policy and terms:

Braidcast interacts with these services only to authenticate your account and manage your broadcasts, using the tokens described above.

Data retention and deletion

Because tokens are stored only on your device, you remain in control of them at all times. You can disconnect a platform inside Braidcast to remove its stored tokens, or delete the application's local configuration to remove all stored data. You may also revoke Braidcast's access at any time from the security settings of the connected platform.

Children's privacy

Braidcast is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the application evolves. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new "last updated" date.
