Privacy Policy

This policy explains how The Pines and Wires, published by Revelation Recording, handles information when its authorized tools connect to YouTube and related Google services.

Who this policy covers

This policy applies to The Pines and Wires website and to the private operational application used by The Pines and Wires and Revelation Recording to manage the official The Pines and Wires YouTube channel.

YouTube API Services

Our application uses YouTube API Services. When an authorized channel owner connects the application, it may request permission to read channel information and analytics and to upload video content to the authorized YouTube channel. The application uses only permissions granted through Google's OAuth consent process.

Use of YouTube API Services is also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Information we access and use

Depending on the permissions granted, the application may access channel and video identifiers, video and channel metadata, channel performance and analytics data, and information needed to upload and manage content on the authorized channel. We use this information to operate The Pines and Wires channel, create and publish authorized content, measure performance, and improve future content decisions.

OAuth credentials and security

We do not request or store a user's Google or YouTube password. Authorization is performed through Google OAuth. OAuth client credentials and authorization tokens are treated as confidential operational credentials and are stored using access-controlled credential storage. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect authorized data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

Sharing and sale of data

We do not sell YouTube API data or personal information obtained through the application. Authorized data is used for the operation of The Pines and Wires and is not disclosed to unrelated third parties except where required to provide the service, comply with law, protect rights or security, or as otherwise directed by the authorizing user.

Retention and deletion

We retain authorized data only for operational purposes and in accordance with applicable YouTube API Services policies. An authorizing user may request deletion of data held by the application by contacting us at brad@revelationrecording.com. We will delete applicable stored user data unless retention is required by law or necessary for legitimate security or recordkeeping purposes.

Revoking Google access

An authorizing user can revoke the application's access through the security and third-party access controls in their Google Account. Revocation prevents future API access using the revoked authorization.

Cookies and ordinary website data

The public The Pines and Wires website is primarily informational. Third-party destinations linked from the site, including music and social platforms, operate under their own privacy practices. This policy does not control those third-party services.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the application, applicable law, or platform requirements change. The current version will be posted at this URL with its effective date.
