Privacy Policy
Effective date: 5 November 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Siago Shorts Bot (“the App”, “we”), operated by Siago, collects, uses, stores and deletes information, including information received from Google APIs. The App is a private, internal tool: only members of the Siago team can sign in, and it is used to publish videos to Siago’s own YouTube channel.
1. YouTube API Services
The App uses YouTube API Services to upload videos to the connected YouTube channel and to display the name of that channel. By connecting a YouTube account you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
2. Information we access from Google
When the channel owner connects a YouTube account, the App requests only these permissions (OAuth scopes):
| Scope | What we access | Why |
|---|---|---|
youtube.upload | Permission to upload videos | To publish video drafts that a team member has manually approved, with the title, description, tags and schedule shown in the dashboard. |
youtube.readonly | Channel ID, channel title and channel thumbnail | To show in the dashboard which channel is connected, so videos are not uploaded to the wrong channel. |
We also receive an OAuth access token and refresh token from Google, which allow the App to perform the actions above without asking the owner to sign in again. We do not access your email address, contacts, other videos, comments, playlists, subscriptions, analytics, or any other Google account data.
3. How we use Google user data
- To upload videos the owner has approved to the owner’s own channel, at the time the owner chooses.
- To display the connected channel’s name and picture in the dashboard.
We do not use Google user data for advertising, profiling, selling, or training artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.
Limited Use. Siago Shorts Bot’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
4. Sharing
We do not sell, rent, share or transfer Google user data (tokens or channel information) to any third party. It is used only by the App on our own server. The only exception would be if we are required to do so by law.
To help produce videos, the App uses third-party services for content that is not Google user data: a web-data provider (Apify) to find publicly available short videos by hashtag, and an AI provider (Anthropic) to help select and label clips and to draft video titles and descriptions. These services never receive your Google tokens or channel information.
5. Storage and security
- OAuth tokens and channel information are stored in a database on a private server operated by Siago.
- The dashboard is served only over HTTPS and is protected by a password; only Siago team members have access.
- Access to the server is restricted to the Siago team.
6. Retention and deletion
- Tokens and channel information are kept only while the YouTube account remains connected.
- Disconnect in the App: clicking Disconnect (Settings → Connect YouTube) immediately revokes the token with Google and deletes the stored token and channel information from our database.
- Revoke from Google: you can remove the App’s access at any time from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/connections (also available via Google security settings). The App can then no longer use the token.
- Deletion on request: email ordeoid@gmail.com and we will delete all data we hold that was obtained from your Google account within 7 days and confirm by email.
- If the App has not been able to use a token for 30 days (for example because access was revoked), the stored data is deleted.
Videos that have already been uploaded to YouTube remain on YouTube and can be managed or deleted in YouTube Studio.
7. Creators of featured clips
Our videos feature short clips from public social-media posts with on-screen credit to the original creator. We store the public post URL, creator handle and public statistics (such as view counts) to give credit and to avoid reusing clips. If you are a creator and want your clip removed or credited differently, email ordeoid@gmail.com with the link and we will act promptly.
8. Cookies
The App sets a single, essential session cookie to keep team members signed in and to protect forms against cross-site request forgery. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
9. Children
The App is an internal tool and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country).
10. Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows the latest version. Material changes affecting Google user data will be reflected here before they take effect.
