NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, nor the YouTube API. Websites are only parsed to fetch required info, so this app can be used on devices without Google services installed. Also, you don't need a YouTube account to use NewPipe, which is copylefted libre software.

The NewPipe project aims to provide a private, anonymous experience for using media web services. Therefore, the app does not collect any data without your consent. NewPipe's privacy policy explains in detail what data is sent and stored when you send a crash report, or comment in our blog. You can find the document here.
