The Mercer Homestead publishing app
Mercer Homestead uses a small private app to publish its own videos. It is used only by the owner of the Mercer Homestead YouTube channel, on the owner's own computer, for that one channel. No one else signs in to it.
Google user data the app accesses
With the channel owner's permission, the app uses these YouTube permissions:
- Upload videos to the Mercer Homestead channel (youtube.upload).
- Read the channel's details and its videos (youtube.readonly).
- Read the channel's view and audience statistics (yt-analytics.readonly).
- Manage the channel's own settings, such as its description (youtube).
How that data is used, stored and shared
The app uses this data only to publish Mercer Homestead's videos and to keep a private record of how they perform. The sign-in token and the statistics are stored on the owner's computer. They are not sold, not shared with anyone, not used for advertising and not used to train AI models. The app's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Removing access
The channel owner can remove the app's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Removing it stops all access, and the stored token no longer works.
