Privacy Policy — YouTube API Services Usage

Last updated: November 8, 2026

This page describes how the internal tool operated by Kotaro Izumida ("the Operator") for the YouTube channel "業務効率化ラボ" (Gyomu Koritsu Lab) uses YouTube API Services.

The tool uses YouTube API Services, including the YouTube Data API and the YouTube Analytics API.

What the tool does

The tool is used solely by the Operator to manage the Operator's own YouTube channel. Specifically, it:

  • uploads videos produced by the Operator to the Operator's own channel, and sets their titles, descriptions, and custom thumbnails;
  • retrieves information about the Operator's own channel, videos, and playlists to verify their status;
  • retrieves analytics for the Operator's own channel (such as views, click-through rate, and audience retention) to improve content;
  • accesses publicly available data (search results and public comments) for content research.

Information accessed and stored

  • Authorized data: the Operator's own channel, video, playlist, and analytics data, accessed only through the Operator's own Google account authorization.
  • Public data: search results and public comments available to anyone on YouTube.
  • OAuth credentials and access tokens for the Operator's own account.

The tool does not access the private data of any third-party user.

How the information is used and shared

  • Data obtained through YouTube API Services is used only for the purposes above. It is not sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties.
  • API credentials and access tokens are stored securely by the Operator and are never shared with third parties.
  • Publicly available data used for research is analyzed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual users.
  • The tool does not allow third parties to serve content, including advertisements.
