Purpose and user

Slowlight Readonly is operated solely for the owner of the Slowlight YouTube channel. It uses YouTube API Services for personal channel analysis and comparison with a limited sample of public sleep-music video information. It does not accept other users' channel connections.

Information accessed

The workflow accesses video and channel identifiers and metadata, including titles, publication dates, durations, public view counts, and video availability or processing status. The owner's available Analytics reports may include views over selected periods, estimated watch time, average view duration, aggregate subscribers gained or lost, traffic sources, and search terms supplied by YouTube. Collection times and reporting periods are also recorded.

The requested permissions are youtube.readonly and yt-analytics.readonly. This analytics workflow does not request upload permission or collect YouTube account passwords. Separate upload tooling has separate authorization. YouTube Reporting API reach reports are not currently collected by this workflow.

Storage and security

Reports are stored in access-restricted Google Sheets. Raw API responses, checkpoints, deduplication records, and update history, including copies of rows before an update, are stored in a private GitHub repository. Selected exports and work records may also be stored on the operator's computer.

GitHub Actions runs the collection code. Authentication values are held in GitHub Secrets and protected local storage; their values are not included in the website, source code, or ordinary execution logs. Remote access to Google Sheets uses short-lived, keyless authentication. This website contains no credentials or links to private reports or repositories.

Use and service providers

Data is used for the operator's channel analysis. Google and YouTube process API requests and Google Sheets data. GitHub processes workflow execution, encrypted secrets, and private repository storage. The tool does not sell Google user data, publish private reports, or provide them for advertising.

The collection workflow does not automatically send reports to an external generative-AI API. Any separate use of work-assistance tools is controlled by the operator.

Retention and deletion

Stored data is currently managed manually. Automatic expiry and deletion are not implemented.

Authorized Analytics data and eligible authorized statistics may be retained as needed while authorization remains valid. YouTube requires periodic authorization and video-availability checks, at least every thirty days where applicable. Other stored metadata and public third-party API data must be refreshed or removed within the applicable thirty-day limit.

Deletion is a manual operation covering the relevant Google Sheets records, private repository copies and history, and local exports. Removing a current repository file does not necessarily remove older versions. The application does not automatically erase those versions.

Under YouTube's requirements, a user's request to delete stored data must be handled promptly and within seven calendar days. This is an obligation for the operator, not an automated feature or a claim that deletion has already been completed. The only user of this workflow is the operator.

Deleting copies held by this tool does not delete videos or other information held by YouTube.

Revoking access and requesting removal

The operator can revoke access through Google Account security permissions. Revocation stops further authorized collection; it does not itself erase copies already stored by the tool. The operator must separately handle the associated deletion required by YouTube's policies.

For support or a stored-data removal request, use the operator support email displayed on the Google authorization consent screen. No email address is published on this website. There is no public deletion portal or support form.

Website visitors

These static pages have no account sign-up, advertising, embedded YouTube player, or analytics and tracking scripts added by the operator. The hosting provider may process technical request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and secure the pages. When hosted on Cloudflare Pages, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

The website is public information. Analytics reports and account connections remain private. Visiting the website does not grant access to a Google account.

Google and YouTube policies

See the Google Privacy Policy. Use and transfer of information received from Google APIs must adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements, and the YouTube API Services Developer Policies.
