This policy describes how SocialMedia (“the tool”) accesses, uses, stores and shares Google user data. The tool is a private video publishing tool operated by a single content team for YouTube channels that the operator owns.
After the channel owner signs in with Google and grants permission, the tool requests these scopes:
youtube.upload – to upload videos and set a custom thumbnail on the authorized channel.youtube.readonly – to read the authorized channel's basic information (channel ID, title) and the processing and publishing status of videos uploaded by the tool.youtube.force-ssl – to post a first comment on videos uploaded by the tool, and to delete videos uploaded by the tool when the operator asks for it.The tool does not access your Gmail, Google Drive, contacts or any other Google service.
Google user data is used only to provide the publishing features described above, on the channel that granted access. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to publishing videos to that channel.
The only Google user data the tool stores is the OAuth refresh token and the channel ID and title of each authorized channel. They are stored in a database on the operator's own computer. They are not uploaded to any third-party server and not shared with any other party. The videos, thumbnails and comments that the tool publishes are content the operator chose to publish.
The tool does not sell, rent, transfer or share Google user data with third parties, except to the extent required to comply with applicable law.
The tool's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. No human reads Google user data except as needed for security, to comply with law, or with the owner's consent.
The tool uses YouTube API Services. By authorizing the tool, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's privacy practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy.
You can revoke the tool's access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. You can also ask the operator to delete the stored token and channel information for your channel by contacting the address below. Stored data is deleted within 30 days of such a request.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date.
