Read-Only Access Explained

When you connect your YouTube channel, we request read-only permissions through Google OAuth. This means our application can only view your data – we have no ability to make changes to your channel, even if we wanted to. This is enforced at the API level by Google. Your channel remains completely under your control at all times.

Data Retention

We retain your YouTube data for as long as your account is active. When you disconnect your channel or delete your account:

  • Your YouTube data is deleted from our active systems within 30 days
  • Backup copies are purged within 90 days
  • We may retain anonymized, aggregated data for service improvement

Revoking Access

You can revoke YT Galaxy's access to your YouTube data at any time:

  1. Go to your Google Security Settings
  2. Find "YT Galaxy" in the list of connected apps
  3. Click "Remove Access"

Once revoked, we will no longer be able to access your YouTube data and will begin the data deletion process.

Google API Services User Data Policy

YT Galaxy's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
