Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2026

Flash Market News ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website flashmarketnews.com and publishes explanatory financial content (including videos on YouTube) about daily stock-market movers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the limited scope of third-party data access we perform.

1. Information We Collect

Flash Market News is a publishing platform. We do not require accounts, logins, or registration to view our content. Specifically:

• We do not collect personal information (name, email, address, phone) from visitors to flashmarketnews.com.
• We do not use analytics that identify individuals. If we use aggregate analytics in the future (e.g., page-view counts via a privacy-respecting provider), this policy will be updated to disclose it.
• Our web host (Cloudflare) may record standard server access logs (IP address, user agent, request time) for security and abuse prevention, as described in Cloudflare's own privacy policy.
• If you email us at [email protected], we will have your email address and the contents of your message. We use it only to respond.

2. Google API Services and YouTube Data

Flash Market News operates an automated pipeline that publishes videos to our own YouTube channel. To do so, we use Google API Services, specifically the YouTube Data API v3, under the following scope:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload — used solely to upload video files to the Flash Market News YouTube channel owned by our operator.

Flash Market News's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Concretely:

• The OAuth credential is used only by Flash Market News's own operator account to publish Flash Market News content. It is never used to access any other Google user's account.
• We do not read, store, or transfer data belonging to YouTube viewers, subscribers, or any other end users.
• We do not use Google user data for advertising, to serve ads, or to build marketing profiles.
• We do not allow humans to read Google user data, except (a) with the operator's explicit consent, (b) for security purposes (e.g., investigating abuse), (c) to comply with applicable law, or (d) where the data is aggregated and used for internal operations.
• We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide or improve user-facing features of Flash Market News, to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets with notice to affected users.

3. Market Data Sources

Flash Market News aggregates public market data (stock prices, volume, corporate filings) from licensed third-party providers. This data concerns publicly traded companies and does not constitute personal information about website visitors.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Flash Market News does not set first-party tracking cookies. If your browser receives cookies while visiting this site, they are incidental infrastructure cookies from our content delivery network (Cloudflare) used for security (e.g., bot mitigation) and are not used to track you across sites.

5. Children's Privacy

Flash Market News is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

6. Data Retention

Because we do not collect personal data from site visitors, there is no visitor data to retain. Operator-side credentials (e.g., our own YouTube OAuth refresh token) are stored as encrypted secrets in our deployment platform and are rotated or revoked if the operator's access changes.

7. Security

We follow reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including storing operator credentials only as encrypted secrets in GitHub Actions and limiting access to authorized operators. No method of electronic storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
