Privacy policy: aryeh yt upload
Last updated: 4 November 2026
Who runs it
"aryeh yt upload" is a personal tool run by Aryeh Beitz (aryehb@gmail.com). It is used only by me, to upload videos to my own YouTube channel.
What data it accesses
The tool uses the YouTube Data API with one OAuth scope, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload. That lets it upload a video to the channel of the Google account that granted consent. It does not read, list, edit or delete videos, comments, playlists or any other account data.
What it stores
- An OAuth refresh token, stored only on the single machine that performs the uploads, readable only by its owner account.
- The ID of each uploaded video, kept in a local text file next to the video.
No YouTube data is sold, shared with anyone, or used for advertising or analytics.
Google API Services
Use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. This tool uses YouTube API Services; see the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
Revoking access
Access can be revoked at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking it makes the stored token useless; I then delete it.
