Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Three Take Media ("we", "us") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers this website (threetakemedia.com) and the tools we use to publish videos to our own accounts on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
1. Who we are
Three Take Media is an independent media publisher based in California, United States. You can reach us about anything in this policy at privacy@threetakemedia.com.
2. Information we collect
When you visit this website
We do not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers on this website. The site is delivered by Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
When you email us
If you contact us, we receive your email address, name (if you include it) and the content of your message. We use it only to respond to you and keep a record of the request.
When we connect our own social media accounts
Our publishing tools use the official APIs of YouTube (Google), TikTok and Meta (Instagram and Facebook) to upload videos to accounts we own and manage. When one of our accounts is connected, we receive and store:
- account identifiers and the account's display name and profile information needed to identify the account;
- access and refresh tokens that let our tools act on that account;
- the status, link and settings of each video we publish; and
- aggregate performance figures for our own videos and channels, such as views, likes, comment and share counts, watch time and, where available, estimated revenue.
We do not use these APIs to collect information about viewers, followers or commenters. Performance figures are totals; we do not collect individual viewers' identities, comment text or messages.
When we produce videos
Our videos are made from publicly reported news and publicly available information. We use third-party AI and media services (listed below) to research stories, write scripts, generate narration, images and video, and check our work. What we send to these services is public information and our own editorial material, not personal information about our website visitors or audiences. Our videos may name or show public figures in connection with news events.
3. How we use information
- to publish, schedule and manage videos on our own accounts;
- to measure how our videos perform and decide what to make next;
- to respond to messages, corrections, copyright notices and privacy requests;
- to keep our website and tools secure; and
- to comply with the law and with the platforms' developer policies.
We do not use information for advertising profiles, and we do not use data received from platform APIs for any purpose other than operating our own accounts.
4. How we share information
We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only with:
- Platforms we publish to — YouTube (Google), TikTok and Meta — when we upload a video or request data about our own accounts.
- Service providers that host our site and files or help us produce content, under their own terms and privacy policies: Cloudflare (hosting, security, file storage), Anthropic, OpenAI, Google (Veo), xAI, Perplexity and Tavily (research, writing and media generation), ElevenLabs (narration and audio), and Pexels, Pixabay and Wikimedia Commons (licensed stock media).
- Legal and safety — when required by law, or to protect our rights, users or the public.
5. YouTube API Services
Our tools use YouTube API Services to upload videos to our YouTube channels and to read statistics about those channels. By interacting with our content on YouTube you are also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. Access granted to our tools can be revoked at any time from the Google security settings page.
6. TikTok and Meta
Data we receive from TikTok and from Meta (Instagram and Facebook) is used only to publish and manage content on our own accounts and to view their performance, in line with the TikTok Developer Terms and Meta Platform Terms. See the TikTok Privacy Policy and the Meta Privacy Policy for how those companies handle data.
7. Security and storage
Account tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM). Our tools run on hardware we control in the United States and are reachable only by us, behind authenticated access controls. Video files may be stored with Cloudflare R2 and shared with platforms through short-lived signed links. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold.
8. How long we keep information
- Access tokens are kept while an account is connected and are deleted when it is disconnected.
- Records of published videos and their performance are kept while we operate the channel they belong to.
- Emails and requests are kept for up to three years, or longer if needed to resolve a legal matter.
- Backups are overwritten on a rolling basis.
9. Data deletion
To ask us to delete information we hold about you — including any information received through Facebook or Instagram login or APIs — email privacy@threetakemedia.com with the subject "Data deletion" and enough detail for us to find it (for example, the account or email address involved). We will confirm the deletion within 30 days. Removing our app's access from your Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or Google account settings also stops any further data from reaching us.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, including in California under the California Consumer Privacy Act, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy of it, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing (we do not sell or share it). We will not discriminate against you for using these rights. To make a request, email privacy@threetakemedia.com. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and you may use an authorized agent. We respond within 45 days.
11. Children
This website and our tools are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the date at the top. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
