Data we collect
We may store account profile data, OAuth identifiers, watchlists, alerts, overlays, search history, session data, creator snapshots and technical logs needed to operate the service.
Privacy
Privacy policy
This policy explains what Livecounts.org collects, why it is collected, and how API backlink verification works.
Last updated: May 15, 2026
API referrers and backlink checks
When a third-party site calls the public API, we store the referrer host, a sample URL, request counts, last seen time and backlink verification status. Cron jobs crawl those sites to confirm attribution remains visible.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses necessary session cookies and local storage for preferences such as theme, locale and interface state. Authentication providers may set their own cookies during OAuth flows.
How data is used
Data is used to render live counters, keep estimates fresh, secure accounts, prevent abuse, verify API attribution and improve search, overlays and dashboards.
Retention
Operational records are kept only as long as needed for the service, security, debugging and legal obligations. API referrer records can be removed when a site no longer uses the API.
Sharing
We do not sell personal data. Limited data may be shared with infrastructure, analytics, authentication or platform providers when needed to deliver the service.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability or objection to processing. Requests can be sent through the contact page.
Security
We use practical safeguards such as server-side validation, scoped OAuth flows, access controls and rate limits. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
