Privacy policy

Google and YouTube data

The desktop app uses YouTube API Services. When the channel owner authorizes the app, Google returns authorization data that the app exchanges for tokens. The app uses the access token to check which YouTube channel belongs to the selected Google account. It saves the refresh token in a private configuration file on the owner’s computer so authorization can be renewed.

The test setup requests permissions for video uploads and management, channel analytics, and revenue reports. The current app uses authorized access to confirm the connected channel. Uploads and reporting are in development. Google shows the requested permissions before the owner grants access.

Google receives the authorization and YouTube API requests. Use of Google user data is limited to operating and verifying the channel connection and follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. See also the Google Privacy Policy.

Retention, revocation, and deletion

The owner keeps the local refresh token while the connection is needed. To revoke access, open your Google Account connections, choose States on Paper, and remove access. The owner can also remove the token from the local configuration.

To request deletion of stored data or ask a privacy question, send the operator a direct message through the States on Paper Instagram profile. The operator removes the relevant stored authorization data in line with the YouTube API Services Developer Policies.
