This policy covers Creator Video Uploader, a desktop tool for the channel operator. It does not describe YouTube’s handling of viewer activity. The uploader has no public sign-up or viewer-facing data collection.
Data access and use. With the operator’s permission, the uploader reads YouTube channel and video information to verify the signed-in channel and check an upload’s title, description, visibility, and audience setting. It sends the chosen file and its metadata to YouTube to create a private upload. It does not request access to Gmail or Google Drive or store the operator’s Google password.
Sharing. The uploader sends the video and metadata to YouTube, where they are handled under Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). The uploader does not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or send it to another service as part of the upload workflow. Its use of data from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements (https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy).
Local storage and deletion. The uploader uses interactive Google sign-in and does not save access or refresh tokens. It keeps its desktop client configuration and upload records in a private folder on the operator’s Mac. The records can include the video title, file checksum, and YouTube channel and video IDs. They help verify uploads and prevent duplicates. The operator can delete those local files; doing so does not remove any video from YouTube.
Revoking access and contact. The operator can revoke access in Google Account third-party connections (https://myaccount.google.com/connections). For questions, complaints, or data requests, contact the support address shown on the uploader’s Google consent screen.
