Privacy Policy
Sculpted Peace is a YouTube channel of calming scenic landscapes and ambient videos (youtube.com/@sculptedpeace). We use a small set of private software tools that connect to the YouTube Data API and YouTube Analytics API to run our own channel. This page explains what those tools do with data.
Who we are
We are an independent creator. The tools are used only by us, only on YouTube channels that we own. They are not a public app or service, and no one else signs in to them or uses them.
What the tools do
- Upload our own videos and set their titles, descriptions, thumbnails, playlists and publish schedule.
- Read analytics for our own channel (views, watch time, subscribers, traffic sources) so we can see what is working.
- Search public YouTube videos and read their public details (title, channel name, view count, publish date) to research popular topics.
- Read and reply to comments on our own videos, and post comments from our own channel on other public videos.
Information we access and store
- Our own account authorization. The tools hold OAuth tokens that let them act on our channels. These are stored only on our own computer and are never shared.
- Our own channel data (analytics and video details), stored on our own computer.
- Public YouTube information (public video details and public comments or replies relevant to our channel). We keep only what we need to measure and improve our own content, such as counts and the text of public replies.
We do not collect information from visitors to this page, and this page does not use cookies or analytics.
How we use and share information
We use this information only to operate and improve the Sculpted Peace channel. We do not sell, rent, trade or share it with third parties, and we do not use it for advertising or to build profiles of individuals. We do not combine YouTube data with data from other sources to identify people.
YouTube and Google services
The tools use YouTube API Services. By using them we agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and use of information received through the API is subject to the Google Privacy Policy. You can review and revoke access that any app has to a Google account at security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
Retention and deletion
We keep channel analytics and research data only as long as it is useful for running the channel, and delete data we no longer need. We will delete stored YouTube data on request, and we delete data that YouTube requires us to delete. To request deletion of anything we may hold about you, such as a public comment of yours that we stored, contact us using the address below.
Security
Credentials and stored data are kept on a private computer, are not published, and are protected by access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we limit what we store and who can reach it.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and our tools are not directed at children.
Changes
If we change how the tools use data, we will update this page and its date.
