Kilbane Channel Uploader privacy policy
This policy explains what Kilbane Channel Uploader (the "app") accesses from Google and YouTube, how it uses and stores that information, and how to remove access. The app is a private desktop tool used only by its developer, Jim Kilbane, on YouTube channels he owns.
1. The app uses YouTube API Services
The app uses YouTube API Services, specifically the YouTube Data API v3 and the YouTube Analytics API. By using the app you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Information that Google and YouTube collect and process is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
2. Who the app is for
The app has one user: Jim Kilbane, the developer. It is not available to the public and does not collect information about any other person. It connects only to these channels he owns: Leonida Dossier, Cyber Heists, Mob Crimes, Mob Dynasties, Wired & Wanted, Tools & Tech, Shadow Archives, Failure Point, Paper Empires and Street to Studio.
3. Information the app accesses
With the user's permission, given on Google's sign-in screen, the app requests these Google OAuth scopes:
| Scope | Why the app needs it |
|---|---|
| youtube.upload | To upload the user's own finished videos to the user's own channel. |
| youtube | To set thumbnails, set the publish time and privacy status, declare altered or synthetic content, set a replaced older video to private, and read the channel's own video list. |
| yt-analytics.readonly | To read the channel's own performance reports, such as views and watch time. |
Through these scopes the app reads or writes the following data, only for the signed-in user's own channels:
- Channel identifiers and channel names, to confirm the right channel is signed in.
- The channel's own video list: video IDs, titles, privacy status and scheduled publish times.
- Metadata the user supplies for each upload: title, description, tags, category, thumbnail image, made-for-kids setting and the altered or synthetic content declaration.
- The channel's own analytics reports, such as views, watch time and audience retention.
- OAuth access and refresh tokens issued by Google.
The app does not access comments, subscriptions, ratings, private messages, contacts, payment information, or any channel or account that does not belong to the user.
4. How the information is used
- To upload videos as private with a scheduled publish time, and to set their thumbnails and settings.
- To set an older video of the user's own to private when a remade version replaces it.
- To check the channel's own schedule so two videos are not placed in the same slot.
- To show the user his own channel performance.
The app does not use any of this information for advertising, profiling, selling, credit or lending decisions, or training of any model, and it does not combine it with data from other sources about other people.
5. Limited Use disclosure
Kilbane Channel Uploader's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In particular, the app uses Google user data only to provide the features described above, does not transfer it to others, does not use or sell it for advertising, and does not allow people to read it except the user himself.
6. How the information is stored
- All data stays on the user's own laptop. The app has no server, no cloud database and no account system of its own.
- OAuth tokens are stored only in local files on that laptop and are used only to make the API calls described above.
- The app keeps a local log of its own uploads (video ID, channel, scheduled time and thumbnail status) so it does not upload the same video twice.
- The app sets no cookies. This website page does not ask you to sign in and the app does not collect information through it.
7. Sharing
The app does not share, sell, rent or transfer any Google or YouTube user data to any third party. No third party serves content or ads in the app, and the app contains no advertising.
8. Retention and deletion
- Copies of the channel's video list and other non-analytics YouTube data are refreshed or deleted within 30 days of retrieval.
- Analytics reports may be kept longer for the user's own reference, and the app confirms at least every 30 days that it is still authorized to access them.
- OAuth tokens are kept only as long as they are needed to provide the features above.
- If access is revoked, the app deletes the related tokens and stored YouTube data within 7 days when revoked through the app, and within 30 days when revoked through Google's settings page.
- The user may ask for deletion of stored data at any time by email (see section 10). It will be deleted as soon as possible and within 7 days. Deleting data from the app does not delete videos or data stored by YouTube.
9. How to revoke access
You can remove the app's access to your Google Account and YouTube channels at any time from the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. Find Kilbane Channel Uploader in the list and choose to remove access. You can also ask for deletion of stored data by email as described above.

11. Changes to this policy
If the app's use of data changes, this page will be updated before the change takes effect, and the date at the top will change. The app will not use data in a new way without the user's consent to the updated policy.
