Welcome to Pingboy, a private Discord-based notification bot that announces new livestreams, videos, and shorts from platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch. These Terms of Service govern the use of Pingboy between the developer ("we," "us") and the intended user ("you").
Pingboy is a private and experimental service built for a single user. It is not publicly available or commercially offered.
To receive notifications for content from TikTok and Twitch, the service may require you to authorize your account through those platforms. This process grants Pingboy access to limited public event data (e.g., when a new stream or video is published). Pingboy does not store any user credentials or user access tokens.
Only publicly available metadata or platform-generated webhook notifications are processed. YouTube does not require account authorization for Pingboy to operate.
Pingboy functions by:
To manage notifications and prevent duplicates, Pingboy stores limited metadata, including:
If you choose to stop receiving notifications for a particular content creator, you may revoke the association at any time. Pingboy will stop processing related events and delete associated metadata when no longer needed.
Pingboy is under active development and provided "as is." Interruptions, delays, or data processing errors may occur.
We are not liable for any damage, loss, or missed notifications resulting from the use or malfunction of Pingboy. Use of this service is at your own risk.
Pingboy interacts with third-party platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch via their public APIs. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these services.
Use of their services and content remains subject to their own Terms of Service and privacy policies.
Pingboy may be updated, modified, or discontinued at any time, with or without notice.
For questions or concerns about Pingboy, please contact the developer directly via Discord.
