Privacy

Who we are

The data controller is aNc Media SRL, Via Mincio 1/G, 20063 Cernusco sul Naviglio (MI), Italy, VAT number IT11237540965. You can write to privacy@hivedroid.com.

What data we show

The rankings use data that is already public on Twitch and Kick: channel name, profile picture, followers, streams and viewers. We do not collect personal data from the people who watch those streams.

Kick channel images (from files.kick.com) come from our servers, like Twitch's: your browser contacts Kick only if you open a clip.

The women and men filter uses a label that we assign: Twitch does not provide this data. We infer it from how the channel presents itself in public, name and description, and a person checks it. Couples, editorial teams and brands have no label. If yours is wrong or you do not want it, write to us and we will remove it.

What data we collect about visitors

The site has no accounts, comments or forms. Fonts come from our servers. Your browser keeps on your device the theme you chose, your choice about cookies and a mark that the visit has already started, without sending them to anyone. Server logs record the IP address and browser of each request, for security and to understand faults.

The site picks its language from your browser's language setting. If you change the language with the selector, we save your choice in a technical cookie, sr-lang, which lasts one year and goes back only to our servers; we send it to no one else.

Cookies and Google Analytics

If you accept from the banner, we load Google Tag Manager, which starts Google Analytics to count visits and page views: the basis is your consent. Both are services of Google Ireland Limited and data may reach Google LLC in the United States. Analytics sets the _ga and _ga_* cookies, which last up to 2 years.

If you decline, neither Tag Manager nor Analytics loads and the site works the same. We ask for your choice again after 6 months. You can change it at any time from the “Cookies” link at the bottom of the page.

Twitch clips

Clip previews come from our servers. When you open a clip, the video starts in Twitch's player inside the page: from that moment Twitch receives your IP address and browser data and may use its cookies, as explained in its privacy notice. The service is provided by Twitch Interactive, Inc., in the United States. If you do not open clips, the site does not contact Twitch.

Kick clips

Kick clip previews also come from our servers. When you open a Kick clip, your browser downloads the video from clips.kick.com, so Kick receives your IP address and browser data. To play it, almost all browsers also download the hls.js player from cdnjs.cloudflare.com, a service of Cloudflare, Inc., in the United States: Cloudflare also receives your IP address and browser data. Only older iPhones do without it, because they play the video themselves. If you do not open Kick clips, the site contacts neither Kick nor cdnjs.

Streams to watch again

“Watch the stream again” opens the recording here on the page, only when you click it. Twitch streams start in Twitch's player (player.twitch.tv), which receives your IP address and browser data. For Kick streams the browser downloads the video from stream.kick.com and the hls.js player from cdnjs.cloudflare.com: Kick and Cloudflare receive your IP address and browser data, as with clips. If you do not open any recording, the site does not contact these services.

YouTube

The site reads YouTube data through the YouTube API Services: which of the channels we follow are live now, with the title of the stream and the channel picture. The data is public channel data; no data about visitors is sent to YouTube, and there is no login. Channel pictures come from our servers: your browser contacts YouTube only if you click the button that opens a live stream. We keep the readings for 30 days at most. Google handles any data it receives according to the Google Privacy Policy.

Who we share data with

We do not sell data to third parties. Logs stay on our servers. If you accept cookies, visit data goes to Google as described above. If you open a clip or a recording, Twitch or Kick receive what is needed to play it; with Kick, also Cloudflare, which provides the player.

How long we keep it

Server logs with the IP address are kept for 12 months, then deleted. Google keeps visit data for the period set in our Analytics account, at most 14 months. Twitch and Kick data stay in the rankings history for as long as the channel is in our list.

Your rights

You can ask us what personal data we hold about you and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. If you are a streamer and want your channel not to appear, write to us.
