Welcome to airZStudio ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (airzstudio.com) and use our desktop application and services (collectively, the "Services"), in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.
Information We Collect
- Account Data: When you register for an account, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, and authentication credentials.
- Billing Information: If you subscribe to a paid tier, our third-party payment processors collect billing details. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
- Usage & Telemetry Data: We automatically collect analytics regarding how you interact with our Services, including crash reports to help us stabilize and improve the platform.
- Cloud Assets: If you utilize our cloud synchronization or storage features for playlists, widgets, or overlays, we store these assets securely.
- Streaming Data: We do not actively monitor, record, or store your live audio/video feeds on our servers unless you explicitly utilize an airZStudio cloud-recording feature. Local multitrack recording files remain securely on your local machine.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, we process your personal data under the following legal bases: Consent (when you explicitly agree, such as for marketing or non-essential cookies), Contractual Necessity (to provide the services you requested, such as account management), and Legitimate Interest (to ensure platform security and improve software performance).
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to enable core platform functionality, manage user sessions, and gather high-level analytics to improve our ecosystem. You have the right to manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time via your browser settings or our website's consent banner.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide, operate, and maintain our Services.
- To process transactions and send related billing notices.
- To provide customer support and troubleshoot crashes.
- To analyze usage trends and improve software architecture.
Data Retention & Sharing
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with trusted third-party Service Providers (e.g., Firebase for authentication, Stripe for payments) who are bound by strict data processing agreements.
YouTube & Google API Services
AirZ Studio utilizes YouTube API Services to allow you to broadcast live to your YouTube channel, fetch your stream key, and interact with YouTube Live Chat. By using these specific integrations, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
- Data Accessed & Stored: When you connect your YouTube account, we receive an authentication token that allows our software to read your live broadcast status, fetch your RTMP stream key, and read live chat messages on your behalf. We store this authentication token securely on your local machine using encrypted macOS/Windows keychain storage. We do not transmit your YouTube authentication tokens, stream keys, or channel data to our own servers, nor do we share this data with any third parties.
- Revoking Access: In addition to AirZ Studio's internal account deletion processes, you can revoke AirZ Studio's access to your YouTube and Google account at any time by visiting the Google Security Settings page at: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.

- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request the total deletion of your personal data from our servers.
- Portability: Request a digital export of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
