prepublish.io uses the YouTube Data API v3 and YouTube Analytics API to provide channel-aware reviews when you choose to connect your YouTube account.

Our use of YouTube data complies with the YouTube API Services Terms of Service and the Google API Services User Data Policy including the Limited Use requirements.

Data we access from YouTube Analytics API:

• Views per video

• Channel-level analytics for the last 30 days

How we use this data:

• YouTube Data API data is used to calibrate your review feedback to your specific audience — what they respond to, what they debate, and what language they use
• YouTube Analytics data is used to show you how your published thumbnails and titles performed after publishing, so you can see whether your packaging decisions improved your results
• We do not use your YouTube data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than providing you with personalised packaging feedback

Data we do not access:

• Your private or unlisted videos

• Any data from channels you do not own

Data retention:

• Access tokens are stored encrypted and used only to fetch data on your behalf

Revoking access:

You can disconnect your YouTube channel at any time from your Account page in prepublish.io. You can also revoke access directly from your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions and removing prepublish.io.

Your data is stored securely using Supabase infrastructure. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest.

Thumbnail images uploaded for review are processed in memory and are not permanently stored unless you are signed in and have review history enabled.

We use session storage and local storage to maintain your review history on your device. We use PostHog for product analytics in the EU region. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
