sardinetin.stream is built and operated by Sardine Tin. We do not collect, store, or sell personal data beyond what is required to operate the features described below.

What we store locally

We use your browser's localStorage to remember preferences such as your selected camera, display name for the Shop and TTS, visual effect toggles, and terminal game progress. A random viewer UUID (no personal info) is also stored for the live-viewer counter. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Payment data (Shop, SFX, TTS)

Shop, SFX and TTS purchases are all processed by Stripe. When you place an order or send a tip, the display name, recipient, message, and transaction amount you enter are passed to the payment processor. We do not collect, store, or have access to your credit card number, billing address, or other payment credentials. All payment data is handled entirely by Stripe and is subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Sound effects (SFX)

Custom SFX prompts you submit are sent to ElevenLabs for audio generation after payment is confirmed. The generated audio is stored temporarily on our servers (Cloudflare KV) for up to 24 hours so the OBS overlay can play it, then it is automatically deleted. Your display name and prompt text are stored in our SFX queue for production and moderation purposes.

Text-to-speech (TTS)

TTS messages are sent to ElevenLabs to generate the audio. Your message text and selected voice are included in that request. We keep a record of your display name, message, room, voice and amount so the team can answer support questions and replay a message if production asks for it.

Analytics

We use a lightweight live-viewer counter to show production staff how many people are watching and which cameras are popular. Your browser sends a heartbeat every two minutes while the tab is visible, containing only a random UUID and the camera index you are watching. No IP address, location, browser fingerprint, or personal information is included. The UUID is generated randomly per browser, stored in localStorage, and is not linked to any identity. We may also collect basic page-view analytics through Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies or track individual users.

Third-party embeds

This site embeds video players and chat from Kick.com (player.kick.com and chat.kick.cx). These embeds are subject to Kick's privacy policy. We do not control or have access to any data Kick collects through these embeds.

Signing in with Kick (optional)

You never have to sign in. Shop items, SFX and TTS can all be bought completely anonymously, exactly as before. Signing in exists for one reason: tokens have to belong to somebody, so buying TTS or SFX tokens in bulk needs an account to hold them.

We do not collect personal information. Authentication happens on Kick's side, and the only things that come back to us are your Kick username and user ID. Kick's approval screen mentions your email because it is bundled into their basic profile permission, but we do not read or store it. We never see your password. The Kick token is discarded the moment we have read who you are, so we hold no Kick credentials for you at all.

The user ID is what we key your account on, because it stays the same even if you change your Kick username, and we refresh the stored username on each sign in so it does not go stale. Signing out removes your session, and you can do it any time from the account menu.

For a signed-in account we keep your token balance and a record of your own purchases, so the balance is correct and you can see your own history. That history is visible only to you and to the Sardine Tin team for support, and it is not sold, shared, or used for advertising.

Cookies

We do not set any first-party cookies. Staying signed in uses browser localStorage rather than a cookie, and clearing your site data signs you out. Third-party embeds (Kick, Cloudflare, Stripe) may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies.

Data retention

Shop orders are retained in our system for production and accounting purposes. SFX audio files are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Analytics heartbeat data is held in memory only and is lost when the server restarts. We do not maintain long-term profiles of individual users.

By using sardinetin.stream you agree to the following terms.

What this site is

sardinetin.stream is the official multi-cam viewer for the Sardine Tin live show, built and operated by Sardine Tin. Video and chat are streamed through Kick.com.

Shop (Sardine Items)

The Shop lets you send virtual items to contestants during the live show. All purchases are final once the item has been delivered on-stream. Prices are listed in USD, are charged at checkout through Stripe, and are subject to change at any time during the show at Sardine Tin's discretion.

Sound effects (SFX)

The SFX feature lets you purchase pre-made or custom sound effects that play on-stream in a specific room. Pre-made sounds play immediately after payment; custom sounds are generated by ElevenLabs AI and may take a few seconds. SFX prices are listed in USD, charged via Stripe, and are subject to change at any time during the show at Sardine Tin's discretion. Custom SFX prompts are subject to moderation. Sardine Tin reserves the right to reject any prompt without delivery.

Text-to-speech (TTS)

The TTS feature lets you send a spoken message that plays in a specific room on the show. Prices are listed in USD, charged via Stripe, and are subject to change at any time during the show at Sardine Tin's discretion. TTS messages are subject to moderation by the Sardine Tin team, who can stop a message before it plays.

Tokens

Tokens are prepaid TTS and SFX, bought in bulk so you are not going through checkout every single time during a show. They exist for convenience and nothing else.

Tokens are strictly 1:1. One TTS token is one TTS. One SFX token is one SFX, pre-made or custom. A token costs exactly what that thing costs on its own, so ten TTS tokens cost the same as buying ten TTS one at a time. There is no markup for buying in bulk and no separate token price that can drift: the token price is derived from the listed TTS and SFX prices rather than set independently, so the two cannot fall out of step.

Tokens do not expire. No time limit, no inactivity clawback, no seasonal reset. A token you buy today is still a token next season.

If it does not play, you get it back. If a moderator stops your request before it plays, or generation fails, the token returns to your balance automatically. You do not have to ask, and you are never charged twice for the same request. Anything you paid for by card is refunded to your card instead, never quietly converted into tokens.

Tokens are tied to the Kick account that bought them and are not transferable between accounts. They are not currency, cannot be cashed out, and buying them is not a wager or a game of chance. If the token feature is ever switched off, any balance you already hold stays spendable.

You never need tokens, or an account, to use this site. Every feature can be bought one at a time while completely anonymous.

Pricing

All prices for Shop items, SFX, and TTS are set by the Sardine Tin production team and may be adjusted up or down at any point before, during, or after a live show without prior notice. Completed transactions are not retroactively affected by price changes. Tokens you already hold are never revalued by a later price change: a token you bought is redeemable for one TTS or one SFX, pre-made or custom, regardless of what the price does afterwards.

Refund policy

If your Shop item or SFX was not delivered on-stream due to a production issue, you may be eligible for a refund. Refunds are issued at the sole discretion of the Sardine Tin team. If approved, refunds will be processed back to your original payment method through Stripe. Sardine Tin reserves the right to issue manual refunds for any reason at any time. No refunds will be issued for items that were successfully delivered, for orders placed in error by the buyer, or for TTS messages that were delivered to KickBot (delivery to the Kick channel is handled by KickBot, not Sardine Tin).

Content moderation

Shop messages, SFX prompts, and TTS messages are all subject to review. Sardine Tin reserves the right to reject and refund any submission containing inappropriate, abusive, harassing, or harmful content without delivery. Repeated violations may result in your IP being rate-limited or blocked from future purchases.

No warranty

This site is provided as-is with no guarantees of uptime, accuracy, or availability. Streams may go offline, features may change, and functionality depends on third-party services (Kick, Stripe, ElevenLabs) outside our control. Item, SFX, and TTS delivery depends on live production conditions and is not guaranteed.

User conduct

Chat is provided through Kick's embed and is subject to Kick's community guidelines and terms of service.

Intellectual property

All content on this site, including stream content, branding, and the site itself, is owned by or licensed to Sardine Tin and its respective rights holders.

Changes

These terms may be updated at any time without notice. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
