Akeme Hub

Akeme Hub (“the App”) is an internal content-operations tool operated by Akeme Visuals LLC for managing our own YouTube channels and team workflow. The App uses YouTube API Services. This policy explains how the App handles data accessed through Google APIs, including YouTube API Services.

Google account data we access

When a channel owner connects a YouTube channel, the App requests access to:

• youtube.readonly
  View YouTube account and channel data: to display each channel’s videos, upload status, and publishing state in the App.
• yt-analytics.readonlyyt-analytics-monetary.readonly
  View YouTube Analytics and monetary data: to display channel performance and revenue figures to the account owner.
• youtube.force-ssl
  Manage YouTube videos: used solely to change a video’s privacy status from unlisted to public at a time scheduled by the channel owner. No other video data is created, edited, or deleted.

How we use this data

Data accessed via the YouTube API is used only to provide the App’s user-facing features: displaying channel/video status and analytics to the account owner, and publishing videos (changing privacy status) at the owner’s scheduled time. We do not use this data for advertising, and we do not sell it.

How we store and protect it

OAuth tokens are stored encrypted in Google Cloud Secret Manager. Channel and video data is stored in Google Cloud (Firestore) and is accessible only to authorized members of our team. We do not share this data with third parties except as required to operate the App on Google Cloud infrastructure.

Data retention and revocation

A channel owner can disconnect a channel at any time within the App, which revokes the App’s access. You can also revoke access directly at myaccount.google.com/permissions. On revocation, we stop accessing the channel’s data and delete stored tokens for that channel.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Akeme Hub’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Google and YouTube policies

Because the App uses YouTube API Services, Google’s handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy. Use of YouTube is governed by the YouTube Terms of Service.
