Privacy
Last updated November 4, 2026
We collect as little as we can to run Rapids. We don't sell your data and we don't run ad trackers.
What we keep
- Your Sui address, which is how Rapids knows your account.
- What you choose to show: your channel name, display name, bio, X handle, profile picture and banner, stream titles, the coin you link, and your payout address.
- Activity on Rapids: chat messages, follows, subscriptions, tips shown in chat, reports you send, and who invited you.
- A scrambled code made from your internet address when you sign up, and briefly while you watch, so we can stop fake sign-ups and fake viewer counts. We don't store the address itself.
- A sign-in cookie, so you stay signed in.
Google sign-in
When you sign in with Google, Google shares your name and email with the Rapids page in your browser, which uses them to greet you. Rapids does not store your email. To create your Sui account and its sign-in proofs, the login token from Google is passed to Shinami, our sign-in provider. We never use your Google profile photo.
What is public by design
Payments on Sui are public. Anyone can see your Sui address, the tips, subs and swaps it makes, and its balance on a blockchain explorer. The invite tree that pays inviter rewards is also on chain. Your channel, profile and chat messages are visible to anyone who opens your channel.
Video
- Streams from your phone or browser camera are not recorded.
- Streams sent with a stream key, such as from OBS, are recorded by our video host and deleted after 30 days. We use them to review reports.
- To keep nudity off Rapids, an automated check takes snapshots of live streams. Snapshots it flags are kept for review by our team.
On your device
Your browser stores a few small things for convenience: the sign-in method you used last, an invite code you opened, and a random viewer ID used to count viewers. You can clear them by clearing site data.
Who helps us run Rapids
- Cloudflare hosts the site, the database and the video.
- Google and Shinami handle Google sign-in.
- Mysten Labs makes the Slush wallet, if you use it.
- The Sui network processes payments.
- When you use Buy, your browser asks the Cetus swap router for a price. It sees the coin and the amount, not your Rapids account. Coin prices come from DexScreener.
We share information with others only when the law requires it, or to protect people from harm.
Your choices
You can edit or remove your profile details at any time in your creator dashboard. To delete your Rapids profile, chat history and channel, email us. Anything recorded on the Sui blockchain can't be deleted by anyone, including us.
Age
Rapids is for people 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger.
Changes
If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page and tell you on the site when the change matters.
