Privacy Policy — Novametro Uploader
Effective date: 11 November 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Novametro OÜ (Linnamäe tee 31-1, 13912 Tallinn, Estonia; "Novametro", "we", "us") handles information in connection with Novametro Uploader (the "Application"), an internal software tool that uses the YouTube API Services.
1. What the Application is
Novametro Uploader is an internal command-line tool used only by Novametro employees. Its sole purpose is to upload videos produced by Novametro to Novametro's own YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@NovametroEU), together with their titles, descriptions, tags, translations, caption files and playlist assignments, and to schedule their publication. The Application is not offered to the public and is not available to third parties.
2. YouTube API Services
The Application uses the YouTube API Services. By using the Application, users agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms. The Google Privacy Policy applies to data processed by Google and YouTube: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
3. Information the Application accesses
When an authorized Novametro employee signs in with their Google Workspace account and grants access, the Application receives an OAuth access token and refresh token for Novametro's YouTube channel. Using these tokens, the Application:
- reads basic information about Novametro's own channel (channel ID and title) to confirm the correct channel is used;
- reads the list of the channel's own playlists to add uploaded videos to the right playlist;
- uploads videos, video metadata and caption files created by Novametro.
The Application does not access, collect or store data of any other YouTube users or channels, including viewers, subscribers, comments or analytics. It does not use cookies or tracking technologies.
4. How information is used, stored and shared
- Use. Tokens are used exclusively to perform the upload and management operations listed above on Novametro's own channel.
- Storage. The OAuth refresh token and client credentials are stored encrypted in Novametro's internal password manager, accessible only to authorized staff. Video files and metadata are Novametro's own content and are kept on Novametro's internal systems.
- Sharing. We do not sell, share or disclose any information obtained through the YouTube API Services to third parties, except to Google/YouTube as required to perform the API requests.
5. Revoking access and data deletion
Access granted to the Application can be revoked at any time via the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. When access is revoked, or upon request, we delete the stored tokens within 7 days. Content uploaded to YouTube can be managed or deleted in YouTube Studio.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this page, with the effective date shown above.
