Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Maviro Uploader ("the Application"), operated by the owner of the Maviro YouTube channel ("we", "us"), handles information when it uses YouTube API Services.
1. What the Application is
Maviro Uploader is a private, single-user desktop application that runs on the channel owner's own computer. It is used solely by the channel owner to upload, schedule, and update YouTube Shorts on the owner's own Maviro YouTube channel, and to read the status of those videos. It is not distributed to or used by the public.
2. Use of YouTube API Services
The Application uses YouTube API Services. By using the Application, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms. Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
3. Information accessed, collected, and stored
- OAuth credentials. When the channel owner authorizes the Application with Google, it receives OAuth access and refresh tokens. These tokens are stored only on the owner's local computer and are never transmitted to any server operated by us or any third party.
- Channel and video data. The Application reads the owner's own channel and video information (such as video IDs, titles, descriptions, privacy and scheduling status, and processing status) only to confirm that uploads and schedules completed correctly. This data is kept locally on the owner's computer in log and database files.
- Uploaded content. Video files, titles, descriptions, and tags are created by the channel owner on the owner's computer and sent directly to YouTube through the YouTube Data API.
The Application does not access, collect, or store data about any other YouTube user. It does not use cookies, analytics, advertising identifiers, or tracking of any kind.
4. How information is used
Information is used only to upload, schedule, and manage videos on the owner's own channel and to verify those actions. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or any other purpose.
5. Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share any information obtained through YouTube API Services with any third party. Data is exchanged only between the owner's computer and Google/YouTube.
6. Retention and deletion
Locally stored API data is kept only as long as needed to manage the channel's videos and is refreshed or deleted within 30 days unless the owner keeps it for their own records. The owner can delete all locally stored tokens and data at any time by deleting the Application's data folder.
You can revoke the Application's access to your Google account at any time through the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. Revoking access immediately stops the Application from accessing YouTube data.
7. Security
Credentials and data are stored on a private, password-protected computer and are never committed to shared storage or public repositories.
8. Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
