Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 23, 2026 · Effective date: May 23, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the HistoVision application ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when used by its operators. The App is a personal content-management tool used exclusively by its owner to manage the HistoVision YouTube channel (@factypro.ua).

2. Information We Access

When operating the App, we use the following Google APIs:

• YouTube Data API v3 — to upload videos to our own YouTube channel, manage video metadata (titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, categories), post comments on our own videos, and read public statistics about our own videos.
• YouTube Analytics API — to read analytics for our own channel (view counts, subscriber counts, watch time, engagement metrics).

We do NOT:

• Access any other YouTube channel besides our own
• Collect data from any users besides the App operator (the channel owner)
• Share any data with third parties
• Sell or transfer any data
• Use the data for advertising purposes
• Process data for any purpose unrelated to managing our own channel

3. Data Storage

All data accessed via the Google APIs is stored locally on the App operator's own infrastructure:

• OAuth refresh tokens — stored in environment variables on the operator's own server
• Published video metadata — stored in a local JSON file on the operator's own server
• Channel analytics — read on-demand from Google APIs; cached locally for 5 minutes to reduce API load

No data is transmitted to any third-party server.

4. Data Retention

• OAuth tokens are retained until manually revoked by the operator
• Local metadata logs are retained indefinitely or until manually deleted by the operator
• Cached analytics data is automatically purged after 5 minutes

5. Your Rights

As the App operator, you can:

• Revoke access at any time through your Google Account settings: myaccount.google.com/permissions
• Delete all locally stored data by removing the App's data directory
• Request information about what data the App has by reviewing the local logs

Since this App does not collect data from third parties, GDPR/CCPA "data subject" requests do not apply to external users.

6. Security

The App operates on a private server. Access to the App and its data is restricted to the operator. OAuth credentials are stored as environment variables and are never transmitted in plaintext to third parties.

7. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this document reflects the most recent change.
