YouTube Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Almurshidai YouTube Publisher collects, uses, stores, and protects information when users connect their own YouTube accounts through Google OAuth and use the service to view YouTube account data, manage comments and interactions, and upload videos to their own channels.

Privacy Overview

Our Privacy Commitment

Almurshidai YouTube Publisher is designed to allow users to connect their own YouTube accounts and use approved features such as viewing account-related YouTube data, uploading videos, and managing YouTube interactions when explicitly requested by the user. We only use data as necessary to provide this functionality, based on the permissions explicitly granted by the user.

YouTube Integration

How the Service Works

Users connect their YouTube accounts using Google’s official OAuth authorization flow. After authorization, the platform may use approved access credentials to support account connection, display authorized YouTube account information, upload videos to the user’s own YouTube channel, and manage YouTube interactions and comments according to the permissions granted by the user. The service is limited to these functions and does not request unrelated Google account access.

OAuth Scopes

YouTube OAuth Scopes We Request

youtube.readonly

  • Scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly
  • Purpose: To view authorized YouTube account information and read YouTube data necessary for displaying channel-related details inside the service.

youtube.force-ssl

  • Scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl
  • Purpose: To allow the user to manage YouTube interactions authorized by the user, including comment-related actions, ratings, and other permitted channel interaction features.

youtube.upload

  • Scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload
  • Purpose: To upload videos to the authorized user’s own YouTube channel when the user explicitly requests publishing through the platform.

Permission-Based Access

We request only the scopes needed to provide YouTube-related features inside the service. Access is granted only after the user explicitly approves Google’s consent screen, and the user may revoke access at any time from their Google account settings.

Information We May Collect

  • Basic account connection data returned through Google OAuth.
  • Access tokens and refresh tokens when required to maintain authorized service functionality.
  • YouTube-related data necessary to display user-authorized channel information.
  • YouTube-related data necessary to complete uploads requested by the user.
  • Data necessary to support comment and interaction features explicitly authorized by the user.
  • Basic technical logs for security, troubleshooting, and service reliability.

How We Use Information

  • To connect the user’s YouTube account to the platform.
  • To display authorized YouTube account and channel-related information inside the service.
  • To upload videos to the user’s own YouTube channel when requested by the user.
  • To support comment management and authorized YouTube interactions.
  • To maintain service operation, technical support, and security.
  • To prevent abuse, unauthorized access, or misuse of the platform.

Token Storage and Security

If authorized tokens are stored, they are stored only to support the YouTube connection and YouTube features approved by the user, including account display, uploads, and authorized interactions. We take reasonable steps to protect stored credentials and related information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.

User Control and Consent

Users choose whether to authorize the service. No YouTube account connection is made unless the user explicitly approves the requested permissions. Users may revoke access later through their Google account permissions settings.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data obtained through Google or YouTube integration. We do not share user YouTube authorization data with third parties except when necessary to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, protect rights and security, or when the user has explicitly requested an action that depends on Google or YouTube services.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the authorized service functionality, security, recordkeeping, and legal compliance. When data is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely remove it according to our internal practices and applicable obligations.

Revoking Access

Users can revoke the platform’s access to their Google or YouTube account at any time through their Google account settings. Once access is revoked, some or all YouTube-related features in the platform may stop working until the user reconnects and reauthorizes the account.

Third-Party Services

This service depends on Google and YouTube systems. Their own privacy practices, policies, and service rules also apply when users connect their accounts or use YouTube features through the platform. We do not control Google’s or YouTube’s independent services.

Important Privacy Notes

  • We use Google and YouTube data only to provide the authorized account connection, channel display, interaction management, and video upload functionality.
  • We do not use YouTube authorization data for unrelated advertising or resale purposes.
  • Users remain responsible for the content they upload and the actions they perform on their YouTube channels through the platform.
  • Revoking Google account access will disable the related YouTube integration features until reauthorized.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect service improvements, legal requirements, or operational changes. Continued use of the service after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
