Privacy Policy — youtube-auto-publisher

Effective November 10, 2026. This notice covers the private youtube-auto-publisher tool and its Google OAuth configuration.

Data and purpose

With the channel owner's consent, the tool accesses channel identifiers and metadata, video information, and YouTube Analytics reports. Upload permissions allow the owner's software to submit videos and associated metadata to YouTube. OAuth access and refresh tokens are used to authenticate these operations.

Storage and access

In the current configuration, OAuth credentials are saved on the owner's computer and backed up in the owner's private Google Drive. They may be downloaded to another machine operated by the owner. This public information page does not receive OAuth credentials or channel reports. Hosting providers may process ordinary web request logs when serving these pages.

Use and sharing

Google user data is used for the authorized channel publishing and analytics functions. It is not sold or used for advertising, and is not used to train generalized AI models. Data is transmitted to Google APIs as needed for those functions. Access to credential backups is limited to the owner.

The tool's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Retention, revocation and deletion

The owner controls retention of local files, reports and private backups. To stop future access, revoke the application's authorization in Google Account connections. To remove stored data, delete credentials and reports from each machine and Google Drive, including the Drive trash. Revoking access does not automatically delete existing copies or previously uploaded YouTube videos. Videos can be managed separately in YouTube Studio.
