General description of data usage

LiveTube is the easiest way to start or watch a live video broadcast. LiveTube is designed to help you broadcast video publicly all around the world.

When you Go Live from the LiveTube app, your broadcast will be received in our newsroom and produced by a team of LiveTube journalists. We either decline or decide to publish your broadcast. When we chose your broadcast for publication, it is public by default. This includes the metadata provided with your broadcast, such as when and where you broadcast. Your name will be published alongside the content, as long as you have not declined this feature prior to Go Live from the app.

We take the authenticity of our content very seriously. This includes the validation of the sender of the content. For this reason, we ask all LiveTube users to create an account in order to broadcast and watch videos. We verify both email and mobile number of our users prior to using our app. With this approach, we can ensure, that all users can start a live broadcast instantly without any additional verification. This feature is critical when it comes to trusted live news.

If you choose to create or update an account, you may provide some personal information, such as your profile information, phone number, and email address. Your profile information on LiveTube is publicly available and includes your username, profile picture, and information on your followers. Also, publicly available are your current and past live broadcasts and the locations where these were created. With your consent prior to each live broadcast, we will also share your full name with publishers, who we offer your content through the LiveTube licensing platform.

We use and store information about your location to provide features of our Services, such as broadcasting with your location, to improve and customize the Services, and to contact you in case of relevant local news for broadcast in your area. We may infer your location based on information from your device. Location services need to be enabled in order to use all functions of LiveTube. We also request users to activate location access while not using the app, so that we can notify them of relevant content close to them as well as ask them to broadcast live from an event happening close to their current location.

 

Specific Information we collect

We collect and use your information below to provide, understand, and improve our Services.

Basic Account Information: If you choose to create a LiveTube account, you must provide us with some personal information, such as your name, username, password, email address, and phone number. On LiveTube, only your username is listed publicly, including on your profile page and in search results, and you can use either your real name or a pseudonym. We share your full name with broadcasters upon your prior consent via the app for each individual broadcast. LiveTube takes authenticity and truth on facts very seriously. In order to help our producers to identify reliable and trustworthy content, you can only use the LiveTube app as a registered user, and after you have provided and validated your email and mobile number. You can only create one LiveTube account for each email or mobile number.

Contact Information: You may use your contact information, such as your email address or phone number, to customize your account or enable certain account features, for example, for login verification. By providing us with your phone number, you agree to receive text messages to that number from us. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services, to market to you, to help prevent spam, fraud, or abuse. You may use your settings for mobile notifications to control notifications you receive from LiveTube. You may unsubscribe from any specific or all content notifications in the LiveTube app. Other users cannot find you on LiveTube by your email address or phone number. LiveTube will not make your information searchable publicly.

Your Broadcasts, Lists, Profile, and Other Public Information: LiveTube is primarily designed to help you broadcast live content to our LiveTube newsroom and from there to the world. Most of the information you provide to us through LiveTube is information you are asking us to make public. You may provide us with your location, a picture and a short description on the content of your broadcast; the metadata provided with LiveTubes, such as when you broadcasted and the client application you used to broadcast; information about your account, such as creation time, language, country, and time zone; and information on upcoming LiveTubes which you will create in the future, people you follow, broadcasts you click or otherwise engage with (such as by commenting or liking). LiveTube might decide to publish your broadcast based on journalistic criteria described in the FAQ section. In case of publication, LiveTube broadly and instantly disseminate your content to a wide range of users, customers, and services, including search engines, developers, and publishers that integrate LiveTube content into their services, and organizations such as universities, media/ marketing organizations and market research firms that analyze the information for trends and insights.

Location Information: We may receive information about your location, e.g. when you send a live broadcast to us. We may also determine location by using other data from your device, such as precise location information from GPS, information about wireless networks or cell towers near your mobile device, or your IP address. We may use and store information about your location to provide features of our Services, such as allowing you to broadcast with your location, reach out to you with a notification asking you to live stream to LiveTube when relevant news is happening around you and to improve and customize the Services, for example with more relevant content like local trends, stories, ads, and content suggestions.

 

How we use the information we collect

We use the information we collect from all of our services to provide, maintain, protect, and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect LiveTube and our users. We also use this information to offer you tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads. We may use the username you provide for your LiveTube Profile across all of the services we offer that require a LiveTube Account. In addition, we may replace past names associated with your LiveTube Account so that you are represented consistently across all our services.

We may display your Profile name, Profile photo, and actions you take on LiveTube or on third-party applications connected to your LiveTube Account (such as likes, reviews you write and comments you post) in our services, including displaying in ads and other commercial contexts. We will respect the choices you make to limit sharing or visibility settings in your LiveTube Account.

When you contact LiveTube, we may keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.

We use information collected from cookies and other technologies, to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services. One of the products we use to do this is Google Analytics. For example, by saving your language preferences, we’ll be able to have our services appear in the language you prefer. When showing you tailored ads, we will not associate an identifier from cookies or similar technologies with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or health.

We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.

LiveTube processes personal information on our servers in many countries around the world. We may process your personal information on a server located outside the country where you live.

Accessing and updating your personal information: Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.

We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).

Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

Keep in mind that also search engines and other third parties may still retain copies of your public information, like your user profile information and public broadcasts, even after you have deleted the information from the LiveTube Services or deactivated your account.

We may also disclose information about you to our corporate affiliates in order to help provide, understand, and improve our Services and our affiliates’ services, including the delivery of ads.

Public Information: We may share or disclose your public information, such as your public user profile information (username and profile picture).

LiveTube Rules

LiveTube Rules – Introduction

(Last Update: Jan 12, 2024)

LiveTube is more than a news broadcaster—we’re a beacon of reliable and factual information amid a sea of misinformation. Each day, we diligently uphold our commitment to integrity, working to provide a space of trust for our diverse community, which includes producers, reporters, users, viewers, and partners. We also make sure to extend this protection to the individuals appearing in our broadcasts—be they emergency service personnel, public officials, artists, and others.

Our stand against fake news has fortified LiveTube’s reputation as a reliable source for real-time reporting. But we aim to do more than broadcast—we aspire to lead the way in responsible live news reporting. To support this goal, we’ve put in place stringent guidelines for content shared on our platform and the conduct expected from our users. Failing to comply with these guidelines can result in penalties, which can range from temporary account suspensions to permanent terminations.

By using the LiveTube App, all users agree to our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, along with the LiveTube Rules we’re discussing here.

As part of our responsibility, we maintain close cooperation with official authorities. We promptly report any activity or content that requires their attention, reflecting our commitment to public safety and legal compliance.

We also understand that being adaptable is key to growth. For this reason, we reserve the right to revise these rules as necessary. You can always find the most up-to-date version at livetube.tv/help/rules.

By adhering to these guidelines and principles, we can build a mutually respectful and authentic environment on LiveTube. Let’s collaborate to preserve LiveTube’s role as a trusted source for the public’s need for timely and accurate information.

Content Restrictions

We maintain strict boundaries for content shared on user profiles, promotional materials, or live broadcasts. Advertising is not allowed unless explicitly authorized by LiveTube. The following types of content are strictly prohibited:

  • Adult or pornographic content: No explicit sexual content or nudity intended to sexually arouse.
  • Violent or harmful content: Graphic violence or content intended to incite violence is not allowed. For instance, videos depicting physical fights, extreme gore, or violent abuse.
  • Content promoting harassment, bullying, or intimidation: We do not tolerate any form of content that promotes harm to others, e.g., threats, stalking, or sharing of non-consensual explicit images.
  • Hate speech or discriminatory content: Derogatory content about race, religion, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity is unacceptable. For example, racial slurs, sexist comments, or posts promoting hate groups.
  • Promotion of illegal activities: Content involving hacking, illicit drug use, or the sale of weapons/ammo is not allowed.
  • Sales or promotions of products derived from endangered or threatened species: For example, items made from ivory or shark fin products.
  • False advertising or deceptive practices: For instance, misleading promotional tactics, scams, or get-rich-quick schemes.

If you need further clarity on what makes a great LiveTube, please refer to our guide on What Makes a Great LiveTube.

 

Intellectual Property and Copyright

Respecting intellectual property and the regulations of the venue or location where you intend to broadcast is non-negotiable. Any broadcast on LiveTube must be in compliance with relevant copyright laws and permissions, and all local rules and regulations pertaining to the filming location.

When you plan to broadcast from private venues, public performances, concerts, theater shows, or any similar event, it is your responsibility to ensure you have the necessary rights to film and broadcast. For more detailed information about these considerations, please refer to our Copyright Information and our Tips for LiveTubers sections.

 

Trademarks and Copyright


Trademarks
: We reserve the right to reclaim usernames on behalf of businesses or individuals that have legal claims or trademarks on those usernames. Accounts using company names and/or logos to mislead others may be permanently suspended.

Copyright: We will respond to clear and complete notifications regarding alleged copyright infringements. Our copyright procedures are set out in the Terms and Conditions.

 

Respectful User Behavior and Account Use

We foster a respectful community where everyone’s rights and safety are paramount. Any actions violating this ethos may result in account suspension or termination.

  • Abusive Behavior: We respect freedom of speech but will not tolerate any form of abuse or harassment towards others.
  • Violent Threats: Any promotion of violence, including threats or support of terrorism, is strictly prohibited.
  • Harassment: Targeted abuse or harassment of others, including our producers, all registered LiveTube users, and our team members, is not tolerated.
  • Hateful Conduct: Any form of hate speech or attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease is strictly prohibited.
  • Multiple Account Abuse: Creating multiple accounts with overlapping uses to evade suspension of a separate account is not allowed.
  • Private Information: Sharing private and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, street addresses, or Social Security/National Identity numbers, without explicit authorization and permission is prohibited.

 

Responsible Username Choice and Prohibited Advertising Policy

At LiveTube, we value a respectful and safe community environment. All LiveTube participants must adhere to the restrictions displayed when choosing a username. Furthermore, the use of inappropriate, sexist, offensive, or otherwise objectionable or explicitly commercial usernames is strictly prohibited.

In general, all forms of advertising or promotional activities on LiveTube platforms are not permitted unless explicitly authorized by LiveTube. We reserve the right to remove or change usernames that violate these guidelines, and to take action against accounts engaging in unauthorized advertising. Our commitment to the standards set in the LiveTube rules ensures a safe, positive, and trustworthy experience for all users. Since usernames are also displayed in the broadcasted LiveTubes, which we share with external partners like news providers and broadcasting stations, particularly high security requirements apply to these publicly disseminated names. In particularly drastic cases, we reserve the right to report name abuse to authorities, especially if it could constitute criminal offenses.

 

Exceptions in Situations of Great Public Interest

We are aware of the role LiveTube plays in disseminating timely and accurate information of substantial public interest. Sometimes, this may mean featuring content that would normally be considered a violation of our guidelines. Such instances could include broadcasts involving significant events like large-scale protests or emergency situations that may involve confrontational or threatening elements.

We wish to emphasize that the decision to broadcast such content will only be made in exceptional cases where there is a broader public interest at stake, such as major incidents affecting many people or having significant societal implications. In such cases, we may choose at LiveTube’s discretion to broadcast such content. We believe this serves the greater good of informing and educating our audience. However, these cases will be carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the decision to allow or disallow will remain entirely at our discretion.

 

User Exemptions in Public Interest Situations

We acknowledge that our users are not professional journalists and can find themselves in situations where they capture content of great newsworthiness or public interest, but which may borderline our content rules. In such situations, if we choose not to broadcast the livestream due to the nature of the content but acknowledge its potential significance in areas such as public awareness or democratic processes, we will not impose the usual sanctions on the user. This is contingent on the user acting in good faith and the understanding that they may lack professional judgment in these matters.

We appreciate our users’ initiative to share important stories and we encourage open communication with our producers in real-time. Please remember, we operate a real-time newsroom where our team of professional producers will guide you through the process.

We must emphasize that this exemption does not cover content that explicitly violates our rules, such as private violence, pornography, and others. We retain the absolute discretion as a news broadcaster to decide what content is published on our platform, and users do not have an inherent right to demand their stories be published.

Remember, LiveTube is your platform for sharing important stories and we encourage open communication with our producers in real-time. Every decision is guided by our commitment to public interest, safety, and maintaining the highest standards of broadcasting and journalistic ethics. Any exceptions to the LiveTube Rules do not indicate endorsement of the behavior involved, and should not be perceived as a relaxation of our overall commitment to promoting safety, respect, and legality across our platforms.
