Privacy policy

Ambient Playlist Filler. Last updated 4 September 2026.

Who this covers

One person: the author of the application, who is also its only user. The application runs as a scheduled job on the author's own infrastructure, against the author's own Google account. There are no other users, no accounts to create, and no visitors whose data this site collects — it serves three static pages and sets no cookies.

What the application does with Google data

Authorized through Google OAuth against the author's account, it uses the YouTube Data API to:

That is the whole of its access. It reads no other playlist, writes to no other playlist, and touches nothing else in the account.

What is stored

No personal data is stored. The application keeps no database and no user profile; it is stateless, and the playlist itself is the only record of what it has done. The single thing held between runs is the OAuth refresh token, kept in the author's private secret store and used for nothing but calling the YouTube Data API as described above.

What is not done

Google user data obtained through this application is not transferred to anyone, not sold, not used for advertising or profiling, not used to train models, and not read by any human other than the account owner. Its use is limited to the single purpose stated above, in keeping with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Revoking access and deletion

Access can be withdrawn at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, which invalidates the refresh token and ends all access. There is no other copy of any Google data to delete. Videos already added remain in the playlist; the account owner removes them like any other playlist entry.

YouTube

The application is a YouTube API Services client. Use is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
