YT PLAYLIST MANAGER

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 8, 2026

Overview

YT Playlist Manager is a browser-based tool that lets you manage your YouTube playlists. This policy explains what data is accessed, how it is used, and your rights.

This application does not operate a server, does not store your data, and does not transmit your information to any third party. All YouTube API interactions happen directly between your browser and Google's servers.

Data We Access

When you sign in, the application requests the following OAuth 2.0 scope from your Google account:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube — read/write access to your YouTube account

Through this scope, the application accesses:

Your YouTube playlist names, descriptions, and privacy settings
The videos within your playlists (titles, thumbnails, channel names, durations)
Your YouTube account identity (used solely to authenticate API requests)

This access is required to display, create, edit, delete, and reorder your playlists and their contents. No other Google user data is accessed.

How Your Data Is Used

Your data is used exclusively to power the features you interact with:

Displaying your playlist library and video contents
Creating and editing playlists on your behalf
Adding, removing, and reordering videos in your playlists

Your data is never analyzed, profiled, sold, or shared with any third party. It is never written to any database or external storage. It exists only in your browser's memory for the duration of your session.

Data Storage & Retention

Your OAuth access token is stored in your browser's sessionStorage for the duration of your browser session. It is automatically deleted when you close the tab or sign out. No other data is persisted anywhere.

The application has no backend, no database, and no logging infrastructure. There is nothing to retain.

Google API Limited Use Disclosure

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

Google user data obtained through this application is used only to provide and improve the in-app features described in this policy. It is not used to serve advertising, is not transferred to third parties except as necessary to provide the service, and is not used for any purpose that the user has not consented to.

Third-Party Services

This application communicates with two Google services:

YouTube Data API v3 — to read and write your playlist data
Google Identity Services — to authenticate your Google account via OAuth 2.0

These interactions are governed by Google's Privacy Policy. No other third-party services receive your data.

Revoking Access

You can revoke this application's access to your YouTube account at any time:

Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions
Find YT Playlist Manager and click Remove Access

Revoking access immediately invalidates any active session tokens.

Children's Privacy

This application is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of the application after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
