Frequently Asked Questions

Securoly is a YouTube channel security scanner. We analyse your channel's public data and account security signals to give you a security score, risk level, and plain-English action steps to protect your channel from hacks.

We use the YouTube Data API v3 to read publicly available channel information — description, videos, links, language, and metadata. For paid plans, you can connect your Google account (read-only OAuth) so we can also check 2FA status, connected apps, and session security.

It's our calculated probability that your channel would be targeted by hackers based on your subscriber count, channel age, content value, and security posture. It's not a guarantee — it's a risk signal to help you prioritise what to fix first.

No. Securoly is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with YouTube or Google. We use the YouTube Data API v3 to provide our security scanning service.

Never. Our OAuth access is strictly read-only. We cannot and do not post, comment, upload, or modify anything on your channel or Google account.

Yes. We use Google OAuth with read-only scopes. You can revoke our access at any time from myaccount.google.com/permissions. We never store your Google password or request any write permissions.

We store your name, email, and Google profile photo (from sign-in), your scan results and security scores, and temporarily use OAuth tokens to run checks on paid plans. Tokens are encrypted. We never store card numbers, CVV, or UPI details — payments are handled entirely by Razorpay. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Yes. You can delete your account and all associated data from your dashboard Settings tab. Everything is permanently deleted within 24 hours. You can also email privacy@securoly.com for a manual deletion request.

Creator (₹299/mo) gives full audits on your connected channel, a score trend dashboard, 2FA and session checks, and PDF reports.

Creator Pro (₹499/mo) adds: full audit on any YouTube channel, a 6-hour compromise monitor with instant email alerts, weekly auto-scans every Monday with score drop notifications, and a weekly email security report.

The Starter plan gives you 5 free scans per month. You get a security score, risk level, and a summary of the top 3 findings. Full findings, detailed recommendations, and PDF reports require a paid plan.

Creator plan is designed for scanning your own connected channel with a full audit. To run a full audit on any YouTube channel (e.g. a competitor or client's channel), you need Creator Pro.

Exclusive to Creator Pro. Every 6 hours, Securoly automatically re-checks your channel for signs of compromise — sudden subscriber drops, suspicious video uploads, description changes, and more. If anything looks wrong, you get an instant email alert.

The PDF report (Creator and Creator Pro) includes your security score breakdown by category, risk level, all findings with severity ratings, prioritised recommendations, and channel metadata. It's shareable and printable — useful for agency clients or team reviews.
