Privacy Policy
NoName's Multichat Control (MultichatControl) · Effective date: November 11, 2026
NoName's Multichat Control ("the app", also shown as MultichatControl) is a free, open-source Windows app made by NoNameFound. This policy explains what the app accesses, what it keeps, and how you stay in control.
1. YouTube API Services
The app uses the YouTube API Services to show and manage your YouTube live chat. By logging in with YouTube, you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
When you log in, Google asks you to allow the permission youtube.force-ssl ("See, edit, and permanently delete your YouTube videos, ratings, comments and captions"). Google offers no narrower permission that allows sending chat messages and moderating. The app uses it only to:
- read your channel's name and ID, to know which channel is yours
- find your channel's current live stream and its live chat
- read the live chat messages, and Super Chats, memberships and gifts, as they arrive
- send the chat messages you write in the app
- delete messages, and time out or ban chat participants, only when you choose to
The app never uploads, edits or deletes your videos, ratings, comments or captions, and never acts on its own.
2. What is stored, and where
Everything stays in the user-data folder next to the app on your computer:
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your login (access and refresh tokens) | So you stay logged in | Until you log out. Encrypted with Windows' own data protection, so only your Windows account can read it |
| Chat of your recent streams (names and messages from your chat) | So you can read what you missed, and see what a viewer said before | The last 5 streams. Older streams are deleted automatically. You can turn this off in Settings → Chat |
| Recent events (subs, gifts, Super Chats, donations…) | The Events list | Until you clear them in the app |
| Settings and a technical log | So the app works and problems can be found | Until you delete them |
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else.
3. Who the app talks to
- Google and YouTube (
youtube.googleapis.com,www.googleapis.com,accounts.google.com,oauth2.googleapis.com): for your YouTube login and live chat - Twitch, Kick, Streamlabs and StreamElements: only if you log in to them yourself
- BetterTTV, 7TV, FrankerFaceZ and alejo.io pronouns: to show emotes and pronouns for Twitch and Kick chat
- GitHub: to check for new versions of the app
Your YouTube data is never shared with, sold to or transferred to any of these services or anyone else. Data received from Google APIs is used only to provide the features described above. Its use and transfer follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
4. Deleting your data and removing access
- Log out in Settings → Connections. This deletes your login from your computer and tells Google to revoke it.
- Delete saved chat by typing
/clearhistoryin the app's message box. - Delete everything by deleting the
user-datafolder next to the app. - Remove the app's access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions (also reachable from Google's security settings).
5. Children
The app is a tool for streamers and is not directed at children under 13.
6. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new effective date.
