Audiobook Control
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Audiobook Control ("the app"), operated by Nikita Korol ("we", "the operator"), accesses, uses, stores and deletes information when a YouTube channel owner connects a Google account to it.
1. Who uses the app
Audiobook Control is a private, single-operator tool. It runs locally on the operator's own computer and is used only to monitor YouTube channels that the operator owns or manages. It is not offered to the public, has no user registration and has no publicly accessible server.
2. YouTube API Services
The app uses YouTube API Services (YouTube Data API v3 and YouTube Analytics API). By using the app you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
3. Data we access
With your permission, the app requests the following read-only Google OAuth scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly: channel ID and title; list of the channel's videos with title, privacy status (public, private, unlisted, scheduled) and scheduled or actual publication time.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics.readonly: aggregated channel and video reports such as views and watch time.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics-monetary.readonly: aggregated revenue reports for monetized channels.
The app does not request write access. It cannot upload, edit or delete videos, playlists, comments or channel settings. It does not access your Google password, Gmail, contacts, Drive files or any data outside these scopes. It does not collect information about individual viewers; it receives only the aggregated statistics provided by YouTube Analytics.
4. How we use the data
The data is used for one purpose: to show the operator a dashboard of his own channels, including the publishing schedule, gaps in the schedule, channel statistics and revenue. The data is not used for advertising, profiling, selling, training machine-learning models, or any purpose unrelated to this dashboard.
5. How the data is stored
- OAuth tokens and retrieved data are stored only on the operator's own computer, in a local database and local files. They are not uploaded to any server operated by us, and this website does not receive or store any YouTube data.
- OAuth tokens are kept only as long as needed to refresh the dashboard and are never shared.
- Video and channel data obtained from the YouTube Data API is refreshed or deleted at least every 30 days. Analytics and revenue data may be kept longer for historical reports, but the app re-confirms at least every 30 days that it is still authorized to access that data, and deletes it if access has been revoked.
6. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell, rent, transfer or share Google user data with any third party. The data is not shown to anyone other than the operator. We would disclose data only if required by law.
7. Cookies and third-party content
The app does not serve advertising or third-party content. It does not place cookies or similar tracking technologies on your device. This website uses no cookies, analytics or trackers.
8. Google API Services User Data Policy
Audiobook Control's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
9. Revoking access and deleting data
- You can revoke the app's access to your Google account at any time on the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
- After access is revoked, data related to that account is deleted from the app within 30 days.
- You can also ask us to delete your data by email (see below). We will delete it as soon as possible and no later than 7 days after the request.
10. Security
Data is kept on a single private computer. Credentials are stored outside source code and are never published.
11. Children
The app is not directed to children and is not used by them.
12. Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
