What this is

YouTube Uploader is a local application that runs on the developer's own computer. It helps prepare and publish ambient videos — writing titles and descriptions from a fixed template, building a thumbnail, and uploading the finished video to the developer's own YouTube channel. It has no other users, no public sign-up, and is not listed or distributed anywhere.

What it accesses on your Google account

When you connect a YouTube channel, this app requests exactly three OAuth scopes and nothing more:

Scope	Used for
`youtube.upload`	Uploading a video file to the connected channel.
`youtube`	Setting the video's title, description, tags, thumbnail, and playlist after upload.
`userinfo.profile`	Reading the connected channel's name, so the app can show which channel is selected.

How data is stored

The OAuth refresh token for each connected channel is encrypted and stored only on the developer's own machine, in the operating system's keychain. It is never written in plain text and never leaves that machine.
Video metadata — titles, descriptions, tags, and upload status — is stored in a private database the developer owns and controls. No other person or service can read it.
Nothing is sold, shared, or used for advertising. There are no analytics, no trackers, and no third-party integrations beyond the YouTube Data API itself.

Revoking access

Access can be removed at any time from your Google Account's third-party access settings. Removing it there immediately invalidates the stored token.
