Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Playhouse ("we", "our", "us") operates the playhouse.is website and Playhouse application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile information through our authentication provider (Clerk).

Content: We store 3D worlds, scenes, characters, and media you create using Playhouse. This content is owned by you.

Connected Services: If you connect third-party accounts (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, Instagram/Meta), we store authentication tokens to enable features like direct publishing. We only request permissions necessary for the features you use. You can revoke access at any time from within Playhouse or from the respective platform's settings.

Social Media Data: When you connect social media accounts, we may access limited profile information (such as your username, profile picture, and channel name) to display within the app. We do not access your private messages, contacts, or data beyond what is needed for content publishing.

Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage data to improve our services, including page views, feature usage, and performance metrics.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the Playhouse service
  • To authenticate your identity and manage your account
  • To enable content creation, storage, and publishing features
  • To publish content to connected platforms on your behalf (only when you explicitly initiate it)
  • To improve and optimize our services
  • To communicate with you about service updates

We do not publish content to any connected platform without your explicit action. Playhouse will never post on your behalf without your confirmation.

4. Third-Party Services

Playhouse integrates with third-party services to provide functionality:

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to review them. You can disconnect any third-party service at any time from your Playhouse account settings.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share data only in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent: When you explicitly choose to publish content to a connected platform
  • Service providers: With trusted infrastructure providers (hosting, database) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements
  • Legal requirements: When required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Temporary data (such as video files during export processing) is automatically deleted immediately after processing. When you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

7. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and security practices. We use HTTPS for all data transmission. Authentication tokens for connected services are stored in secure, HTTP-only cookies. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Delete your account and associated data

You retain full ownership of all content you create using Playhouse, including 3D worlds, scenes, characters, recordings, and exported videos. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your content.

10. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and service functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
