Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Auto Shorts ("the App") is an internal tool an individual creator (with up to two helpers) uses to publish videos to the creator's own social media accounts. This policy explains what data the App handles.

Data we access

• YouTube (Google) account data: via the YouTube Data API, the App uploads videos, reads channel and video information and statistics, and reads and replies to comments on the authorized channel's own videos.
• TikTok account data: via TikTok's official APIs, the App reads basic profile information, publishes videos, and reads statistics for the authorized account's own videos.

How data is used

Data is used solely to publish videos to the authorized account, reply to comments on its own videos, and measure the performance of its own uploads.

Information collected, stored and shared

• Collected: OAuth access and refresh tokens for the authorized account; the authorized channel's own channel ID and name; IDs, titles and basic statistics (views, likes, comment counts) of videos the App uploaded; comments on those videos when the comment-reply feature is used.
• Not collected: data about any other YouTube or TikTok user beyond public comment text on the authorized channel's own videos; no payment data; no contact lists.
• Stored: only on the operator's local computer (encrypted disk). No third-party servers or databases controlled by the App.
• Retention: YouTube API data (statistics, comments) is refreshed or deleted within 30 days. Tokens are kept until access is revoked; they are deleted immediately after revocation.
• Shared: never sold, rented, or shared with third parties, and never used for advertising.

Cookies and device storage

The App is a local command-line tool. It does not use cookies, and it does not store or access information on users' browsers or devices beyond the local files described above.

Google API Services

The App's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The App uses YouTube API Services; see the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Revoking access

You can revoke the App's access at any time at Google security settings or in TikTok's app settings. Upon revocation or request (email below), all locally stored data for that account is deleted within 7 days.
