Google and YouTube Data Policy
What account permissions and public research data mean.

Operator: dottreesoft

1. Google sign-in
Google shares your account identifier, verified email and basic profile for sign-in and account management. We request only openid, email and profile. We do not access your Gmail, Drive or private YouTube activity. Account information and private notes are not used to train AI. Storage, providers, international processing and deletion are described in the Privacy Policy.
2. Public YouTube information
Tachyfinder uses YouTube API Services to obtain public identifiers, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, publication dates and available channel/video statistics. This public collection is separate from your Google login and does not authorise access to your private channel analytics. We do not download video/audio files or upload, subscribe, comment or edit your channel on your behalf.
We show source links, observation times and known limits. Historical snapshots are subject to 30-day cleanup. Source refresh, removal and availability can affect results and saved references. A personal note does not become YouTube data; deleting a saved reference does not remove a public video from YouTube.
3. Revocation and corrections
Revoke Google sign-in access through Google account connections, sign out in Tachyfinder and contact contactdottree@gmail.com to request deletion of stored account data. Revocation alone is not account deletion. For incorrect public source information, send the affected URL; corrections at the source are reflected as data is refreshed. Google and YouTube policies and the source content owners' rights continue to apply.
