Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the private YouTube upload tool operated by an individual YouTube channel owner accesses, uses, stores, and protects information obtained through YouTube API Services. The tool is not offered to the public and is used only by the channel owner.

1. YouTube channels covered by this policy

2. Use of YouTube API Services

The tool uses YouTube API Services to upload videos, submit and update video metadata, schedule publication, read channel and video information, and check upload and processing status. It requests the following OAuth scopes:

The channel owner authorizes access through Google's OAuth consent process. The tool does not collect or store the owner's Google or YouTube password.

3. Information accessed and stored

The tool may access and store only information needed for its publishing workflow, including:

The tool does not collect or store Google profile information, the Google account email address, IP addresses, or a separate history of user activity.

4. How information is used

Information is used only to authenticate the channel owner, upload and manage videos on the connected channels, schedule publication, confirm successful processing, update metadata when required, and troubleshoot technical errors.

Information is not sold, used for advertising, used for profiling, or shared with unrelated third parties.

5. Storage and security

Data is stored locally on the channel owner's personal computer. Access is restricted to the channel owner. The computer is protected by an operating-system password and full-disk encryption, and the connected Google account uses two-step verification.

OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest and are not transmitted except to Google's authorization and API endpoints as required to operate the tool.

6. Data retention

OAuth credentials are retained only while the channel owner's authorization remains active and while they are required to operate the tool. Stored YouTube API data is refreshed or deleted at least once every 30 calendar days where required by YouTube API Services policies. Technical upload and error records are retained for no longer than 30 calendar days unless a shorter period is sufficient.

Authorization validity is checked through normal API requests and is also reconfirmed at least once every 30 calendar days. If authorization expires, is revoked, or can no longer be refreshed, the tool stops accessing the affected account and deletes the related locally stored API data as soon as possible.

7. Revoking access and deleting stored data

The channel owner may revoke the tool's access through Google Security Settings. The owner may also request deletion of locally stored authorization data and YouTube API data by emailing solotoneworks8891@gmail.com.

A valid deletion request will be completed as soon as possible and within seven calendar days. If access is revoked through Google Security Settings, related data will be deleted as soon as possible and within the period required by YouTube API Services policies.

Deleting data stored by this tool does not delete videos or other information stored by YouTube. Content hosted by YouTube must be deleted through YouTube or another authorized client that supports deletion.

8. Cookies, analytics, and advertising

The API client does not use advertising services, third-party analytics, or tracking cookies. This privacy-policy page does not intentionally place advertising or analytics cookies.

9. Third-party policies

This tool uses YouTube API Services. Use of YouTube and Google services is also governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the tool's functionality or data practices change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
