ClipsPrivacy Policy
Last updated: 19 September 2026
This policy explains what information ClipsHiro accesses, how it is used and stored, and how you can withdraw access. ClipsHiro is a desktop application that runs on the operator's own computer. It is operated by an independent creator in Belgium (the "operator", "we"). Contact: logand40@gmail.com.
1. ClipsHiro uses YouTube API Services
ClipsHiro uses YouTube API Services to upload videos to YouTube channels you own and to read the public statistics of those videos. By using ClipsHiro you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's collection and use of your data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
2. Information ClipsHiro accesses
When you connect a Google Account, ClipsHiro requests the following permissions (OAuth 2.0 scopes):
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload— to upload videos and set their title, description, tags, category, visibility and scheduled publication time on your channel.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly— to read the public view and like counts of the videos ClipsHiro uploaded.
ClipsHiro does not read your subscriptions, watch history, comments, private videos, email address or any other account data. It cannot delete or edit videos it did not upload.
3. Information ClipsHiro stores, and where
Everything ClipsHiro stores is kept locally, on the operator's computer. No data is sent to any server operated by us.
| Data | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
OAuth token, one file per connected channel (token-<channel>.json) | Authenticate uploads without asking for consent again | Until you revoke access or delete the file; stored with owner-only file permissions |
| Video metadata you wrote (title, description, hashtags, script) and the rendered video file | Produce, review and upload the clip | Until the operator deletes the clip |
| YouTube video ID and scheduled publication time of each uploaded clip | Show the publication calendar and fetch statistics | As long as the clip exists in the local history |
| Public statistics of uploaded videos (view count, like count) | Show performance on the history page | Refreshed automatically at least every 30 days; statistics that cannot be refreshed are deleted |
| Number of uploads per day | Respect the YouTube API daily upload quota | Aggregated counter, no personal data |
Stored YouTube data is kept consistent with the data available from the YouTube API, in accordance with the YouTube API Services Developer Policies.
4. How information is used and shared
Information is used solely to produce, upload, schedule and track the operator's own videos. ClipsHiro does not sell, rent or share Google user data with anyone. It does not serve advertising, does not use analytics or tracking, and does not place cookies or other tracking technologies on your devices. The only cookie is a session cookie used by the local interface when a password is enabled, and it contains no Google data.
To produce a clip, ClipsHiro sends the operator's own content (the channel theme, the script text) to third-party services: a text-generation service to draft scripts, a text-to-speech service to narrate them, and a stock-footage library to search for footage. None of your Google Account data or YouTube data is sent to these services.
5. Revoking access and deleting data
- You can revoke ClipsHiro's access to your Google Account at any time from the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
- You can also use the "Disconnect" button on the Channels page, which deletes the local token file; ClipsHiro will ask for consent again before the next upload.
- When access is revoked, the stored token becomes unusable and stored YouTube data (video IDs and statistics) is deleted from the local database within 7 days on request, and in any case is not refreshed or reused.
- To ask for deletion of any stored data, write to logand40@gmail.com.
6. Security
The OAuth token is written with owner-only file permissions. When the interface is exposed beyond the local machine, a password is mandatory and every form is protected against cross-site request forgery. ClipsHiro never asks for your Google password: sign-in happens on Google's own pages.
7. Children
ClipsHiro is a professional tool for adult creators. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
8. Changes and contact
Changes to this policy are published on this page with a new date. Questions about privacy: logand40@gmail.com.
