ytassist is a private tool that a channel owner runs on their own computer to manage their own YouTube channels. This policy explains what it does with data obtained through Google and YouTube APIs.

YouTube API Services

ytassist uses YouTube API Services. By using ytassist you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Data accessed

• Channel identity (channel ID and title), to confirm the right channel is connected.
• The channel's videos, drafts, playlists and their metadata, in order to upload, edit and schedule them.
• YouTube Analytics reports for the channel (views, watch time, subscribers, traffic sources, countries).

How it is used and stored

• Data is used only to perform the actions the owner asks for and to show the owner their own reports.
• OAuth tokens, logs and analytics reports are stored only on the owner's own computer. ytassist has no server and no database. Nothing is sent anywhere except to Google's APIs.
• Data is not sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.
• ytassist's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Retention and deletion

Local tokens and reports remain on the owner's computer until the owner deletes them. Access can be revoked at any time at Google Account → Third-party connections or via Google security settings, after which ytassist can no longer access the channel.
