Privacy Policy
This policy describes how YTARGET stores and uses account, channel, analytics, and integration-related data inside the application.
1. Data We Store
The application may store user accounts, channel profile references, API keys, OAuth credentials, tracked video data, generated suggestions, notes, and analytics snapshots needed to operate the platform features.
2. OAuth and Channel Credentials
When a channel is connected, OAuth files such as `client_secret.json` and `token.pickle` are stored in the app-managed instance directory so the system can access authorized YouTube and analytics endpoints on your behalf.
3. API Keys
API keys may be stored either in server environment variables or in the application database, depending on your account type and configuration. These keys are used only to support application features that require external APIs.
4. Analytics and Operational Data
The system may store channel metadata, video metadata, historical performance snapshots, score calculations, and optimization notes to provide reporting, tracking, and suggestion features.
5. How Data Is Used
Stored data is used to authenticate access, connect channels, retrieve analytics, display dashboards, generate suggestions, update content metadata, and support account management within the product.
6. Sharing of Data
The application does not intentionally publish your private channel credentials to other users. However, the platform sends necessary requests to third-party providers such as Google, YouTube, and AI services when those features are used.
7. Data Retention
Data may remain stored until it is replaced, deleted through application controls, or removed by an administrator. Some historical analytics or tracking records may remain in backups or system storage for operational continuity.
8. Security
Reasonable efforts should be used to protect stored credentials and analytics data, including server access controls, private environment configuration, and restricted filesystem access. No method of storage or transmission is completely risk-free.
9. Your Responsibility
You are responsible for securing your own account access, choosing which channels to connect, and removing credentials that should no longer be used.
10. Policy Changes
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the product, infrastructure, or legal requirements. Continued use of the platform means you accept the updated policy.
