1. What this application is
Blazing Financial Data Publisher is a private desktop application used by one operator to publish finished videos to the YouTube channel Blazing Financial Data (channel ID UCyUWGajSDPEBgFioc-Zsa5Q), which that operator owns.
It is not a product, a service, or a website. It is not offered to the public, has no sign-up, and has no users other than the channel owner. It runs locally on the owner's own computer and talks only to Google's APIs.
2. What data it accesses
The application authenticates one Google account — the account that owns the channel — using Google OAuth 2.0. It requests two scopes:
| Scope | What the application does with it |
|---|---|
| https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload | Uploads the operator's own finished video files to the operator's own channel. |
| https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl | Sets each upload's title, description, tags, category and visibility; sets its thumbnail; posts a single pinned comment on the operator's own video; and reads the authorized channel's own identity before every write, to confirm uploads cannot reach the wrong channel. |
It does not read, collect, or process any other person's data. It does not access viewer information, subscriber lists, comments written by others, analytics, email, contacts, files, or any Google service other than the YouTube Data API.
3. What data it stores
Only an OAuth token. After the operator grants consent, Google returns an access token and a refresh token, which are written to a single file on the operator's own computer:
That file stays on that machine. It is not uploaded, synchronised, backed up to a third party, or placed in version control. No database exists, and no server belonging to this application exists, because the application has no server component at all.
4. What data it transmits, and to whom
Video files and their metadata are transmitted to Google (YouTube) over HTTPS, which is the purpose of the application. Nothing is transmitted anywhere else.
There are no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no third-party services of any kind. No data is sold, rented, shared, or disclosed to anyone. There is no data to sell: the application holds nothing except the operator's own credentials for the operator's own channel.
5. Google API Services User Data Policy
This application's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
6. Retention and deletion
The token is kept until the operator deletes it or revokes access. To revoke:
- Visit https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
- Select Blazing Financial Data Publisher
- Choose Remove access
Revoking immediately invalidates the stored token. Deleting the token.json file removes the local copy. There is no other copy anywhere.
7. Children
The application is operator tooling and is not directed at children. It collects no information from anyone, including children under 13.
8. Changes
Material changes to this policy will be published at this address with a revised effective date.
