Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 18, 2026

1. Use of YouTube API Services

Bombay Cafe uses YouTube API Services to display curated playlists of music videos, organized by country, genre, artist, and other categories. By using Bombay Cafe, you are also agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

For information about how Google (including YouTube) collects and processes data, please review the Google Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Bombay Cafe currently does not require user registration or accounts, and does not collect personally identifiable information simply by browsing the Site.

The following limited, non-personal data may be accessed or processed:

• YouTube playlist and video metadata (titles, thumbnails, video IDs, view/like counts where publicly available) retrieved via the YouTube API, used solely to display playlists on the Site.
• Standard web server/hosting logs (such as IP address, browser type, and access times), collected automatically by our hosting provider (Microsoft Azure) for security and operational purposes.

Bombay Cafe itself does not use cookies for its own tracking or analytics. The Site uses (or is in the process of enabling) Google AdSense to display advertising; Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies (including the DoubleClick/Google Ads cookie) to serve ads, which may be personalized based on your visits to this and other websites. You can review or adjust your ad personalization settings via Google Ads Settings, or opt out of interest-based advertising more broadly via www.aboutads.info/choices.

3. How We Use Information

Any data described above is used only to operate and display the Site's music playlist features, maintain the security and functioning of the Site, and comply with YouTube API Services Developer Policies. We do not sell, rent, or share user information with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Content and Advertising

Bombay Cafe uses Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google AdSense may collect and use data (including cookies and device/browser information) to serve ads, which may be personalized based on your browsing activity, in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy and Google's advertising policies. Visitors located in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are served ads in accordance with Google's EU User Consent Policy. You can control ad personalization via Google Ads Settings.

5. YouTube Data Retention

In accordance with YouTube API Services Developer Policies, Bombay Cafe does not store or display statistics retrieved as Authorized or Non-Authorized Data (such as view counts) for longer than 30 days. Playlist data is refreshed regularly to stay current with YouTube's source data.

6. Your Rights

Since Bombay Cafe does not collect personal information through registration, there is no user account data to access, correct, or delete. If you have questions, please contact us below.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly if we introduce new features such as user accounts, cookies/analytics, or advertising.
