Oshi Check (推しくらべ)

日本語한국어繁體中文

This policy explains how the iOS app “Oshi Check” (Japanese name: 推しくらべ, hereafter “the App”) handles user information.

1. Information We Collect

With your permission (sign-in and consent through your Google Account), the App retrieves the following information via the YouTube Data API:

The App does not collect your name, email address, location, or any similar personal information on its own.

2. How We Use It

3. Storage and Retention

4. Data Sent Outside the Device

For genre classification

To classify channels into genres, the App sends public channel information only (channel ID, channel name, description, keywords, topic categories) to our classification server (Google Cloud, Tokyo region) and receives the classification result. Results are cached on the server so that the same channel does not have to be classified again. No information about who subscribes to which channel — no account information and no subscription list as a set — is transmitted or stored.

During a face-to-face match

Matching is performed by direct communication between the two devices present (local network / proximity). Matching data never passes through any external server, including ours. The match uses a cryptographic technique (PSI: Private Set Intersection), so only the items you both have are revealed to each other; items that do not match are not disclosed to the other person. However, the number of favorites you have registered and the number of tag types in each genre level are visible to the other person (they are exchanged so that both of you see the same compatibility score).

5. Advertising, In-App Purchases, and Third Parties

Advertising

The App is free to use. If you want to match more than the one free match per day, you can watch a rewarded video ad to restore a match. Ads are delivered through Google AdMob.

In-app purchases

Purchasing the one-time “Oshikurabe Pro” removes ads and makes matching unlimited. Purchases and restores are handled by Apple’s App Store (StoreKit); we never receive or store your payment information.

Third parties

Other than as described above, we do not provide or sell your information to third parties.

6. Google User Data (Limited Use)

The App’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

6-1. How the App uses Google user data

The only Google user data the App obtains through Google APIs is your list of subscribed YouTube channels. The App requests a single scope, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly, which is read-only. This data is used only for the following three purposes:

The data is not used for any other purpose. Specifically, it is not used for advertising or ad targeting, for sale to third parties, for creditworthiness assessment, or for training AI or machine learning models. We do not allow humans to read your Google user data.

6-2. With whom we share, transfer, or disclose Google user data

6-3. Data protection mechanisms for sensitive data

7. YouTube API Services

The App uses YouTube API Services. The YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy apply to your use of the App.

You can revoke the App’s access to your data at any time from the Google security settings page.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we will announce the change on this page. If the change is significant, we will also notify you inside the App.
