What the service stores about you
TwitchNotify posts a message to your Telegram channel or group when your Twitch stream goes live. To do that, the service needs to remember whose channel is linked to which — and almost nothing else.
Last updated 27 August 2026.
What is stored, and why
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your Twitch channel ID and login | To know whose stream started and to subscribe to events for that channel |
| Your Telegram account ID | To connect the person who opened the linking link with the chat the bot is later added to |
| Your Telegram channel's or group's ID, title and handle | To know where to send the notification, and to show you in the dashboard what is linked |
| The ID of the last stream, the message sent for it, its title and category | To avoid sending a second message about the same stream, and to edit the text if the title or category appeared later |
| The last 50 event records: sent, updated, skipped, disabled | To work out why a notification did not arrive. Older records are pushed out by newer ones |
| A one-time linking code | To connect the dashboard with your Telegram account. Lives 15 minutes and is discarded the moment it is used |
| Your dashboard sign-in session | So you don't have to sign in again every time you open the page |
There are no ads and no analytics on these pages. The data is not shared with anyone and is not sold.
What the service does not store
- Your Twitch token. Signing in requests no permissions at all — only confirmation that the channel is yours. The token received is used once, to look up the channel ID, and is not saved.
- Email, phone number, password. The service never asks for them and never receives them.
- Messages from your channel or group. The bot can only publish and edit its own messages. In a channel it never receives anyone else's messages at all. In a group, Telegram delivers everything written there to an administrator bot — that is how Telegram works, not a choice the service made; the service discards such messages immediately, never parses them and never stores them.
- Your list of followers or viewers. The service never requests it.
Who else sees this data
Twitch. The service subscribes to events about your stream starting and ending, and asks for the channel's title and category. What Twitch itself sees is described in its privacy notice.
Telegram. The service posts messages to your channel through the Telegram Bot API and receives events from Telegram when the bot is added to a channel. Telegram's terms are in its privacy policy.
The hosting provider. The service and its database run on shared hosting. The server's technical logs contain page requests and error messages; they are not meant to hold your data, but a channel ID may end up inside an error message.
Cookies
One — the one that remembers your dashboard sign-in. It cannot be read by other scripts, is not sent to other sites, and lives for seven days. There are no tracking cookies on this site.
How long it is kept
- Link data — until you delete it.
- Event records — the last 50 per channel; older ones are pushed out.
- Sign-in session — 7 days, then deleted automatically.
- Linking code — 15 minutes, or until first use.
How to delete everything
The dashboard has a “Unlink and delete data” button. It removes the Twitch event subscriptions and deletes your record along with everything attached to it: the link, the send state and the event log. This cannot be undone — you would have to link again from scratch.
The bot stays in your Telegram channel or group if you added it there; you can remove it in the chat's settings.
If anything changes
