Last updated: April 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how isle.toys (operated by Chronicle Computers, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the isle.toys website (the “Site”).
1. Use of YouTube API Services
isle.toys uses YouTube API Services to embed YouTube videos and display YouTube content (such as video titles, channel names, view counts, and comments) on toy pages. By using isle.toys, you acknowledge that this Site uses YouTube API Services.
Your use of YouTube content on this Site is also governed by:

You can manage and revoke isle.toys’ access to your Google data at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Information you provide. If you sign up for our newsletter, you give us your email address. If you contact us, you give us whatever information is in your message.
- Automatically collected data. When you visit the Site, we receive standard server log data such as your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and the referring URL.
- Cookies and local storage. We use cookies and browser local storage to remember preferences (for example, whether you have dismissed our welcome overlay), to measure traffic, and to support analytics.
- Public YouTube content. When you view a toy page, we display public YouTube content (videos, titles, view/like counts, public comments) retrieved via the YouTube API. We do not access private user data from YouTube and do not require you to sign in with a Google account to use isle.toys.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
- Display trending toys, prices, embedded videos, and social content.
- Send newsletters and product updates to subscribers (you may unsubscribe at any time).
- Respond to inquiries you send us.
- Measure traffic and understand how the Site is used.
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, abuse, and security incidents.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:
- Service providers. We use third-party providers to host the Site, store data, send email, run analytics, and serve embedded content. Current providers include: Render.com (hosting), Supabase (database), Google (Google Analytics, YouTube embedded player), and various retailer affiliate networks.
- Embedded third-party content. When the Site displays an embedded YouTube player, Reddit post, or TikTok video, the corresponding third-party platform may set its own cookies and collect information about your device and viewing activity, subject to its own privacy policy.
- Affiliate networks. When you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer and any associated affiliate network (Amazon Associates, Impact, ShareASale, etc.) may track that click for commission attribution.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of isle.toys, our users, or the public.
5. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies
isle.toys, and third parties whose content we embed, store and access information on your device using cookies, browser local storage, and similar technologies. Specifically:
- We use browser local storage to remember whether you have dismissed the welcome overlay.
- We use Google Analytics, which sets cookies on your device to help us understand aggregate site traffic and usage patterns.
- Embedded YouTube videos load content from YouTube’s servers, and YouTube and Google may set their own cookies on your browser when those embeds load. The same applies to Reddit and TikTok embeds.
- Affiliate networks may use cookies to attribute clicks and commissions.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
6. Data Retention
We retain newsletter email addresses until you unsubscribe. Server logs and analytics data are retained for as long as needed for the purposes described above, in accordance with our service providers’ default retention periods.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, email us at chroniclecomputers@gmail.com.
