Google services and permissions
Google connections are optional. YouTube and Analytics share one connection. Select the intended channel, including a Brand Account, during Google authorization. You choose which services to connect and which permissions to grant. Grants can be partial; when permissions are missing, corresponding features remain unavailable.
YouTube and Analytics access
RIN Media uses YouTube API Services. When you connect YouTube, channel information is accessed to display your channel details. You can upload completed videos, with private visibility by default unless you choose another setting. Video metadata, comments, replies, captions, and deletion are managed through requested actions. Analytics connection enables viewing audience and revenue reports when available; revenue reporting requires specific permission and may not always be available even when other YouTube features work. Analytics errors are independent of YouTube video management.
Purpose and data handling
Google data is accessed for the feature you request: channel management, video publishing, comments, captions or Analytics reports. OAuth tokens are encrypted before storage. We retain connection identifiers, granted permissions and upload history for the connected workflow; report responses are fetched on demand.
Sharing and Limited Use commitment
When you request a Google action such as uploading a file or publishing a video, relevant information is sent to Google to perform that action. Service providers may process data as needed to operate the infrastructure. We do not sell your Google data, use it for advertising purposes, or use it to train general-purpose AI models. The use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements.
Disconnect and revoke
Use Disconnect all in Settings to attempt revocation at Google and delete stored tokens, connection records and YouTube upload history. Local media and videos on YouTube remain. You can also revoke access at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. Use in-app disconnect to remove local connection data too.
