Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 October 2026

ClipFactory ("the tool") is a private desktop application operated by Fernando da Silveira Rampon, 81 Primrose Hill, Tower, Blarney, Co. Cork, T23 TF66, Ireland ("we"). It is used only by its operator to manage YouTube channels he owns. This policy explains what data the tool accesses and how it is handled.

YouTube API Services

ClipFactory uses YouTube API Services. By using ClipFactory you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. YouTube data is also subject to the Google Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy).

Data we access

• Google account authorization (OAuth 2.0): an access token and a refresh token for each YouTube channel that the operator connects, with the scopes needed to upload videos and manage the channel's own videos.
• Channel information: the channel ID and title, used to confirm that each authorization belongs to the right channel.
• Video information of the channel's own uploads: video IDs, privacy status and scheduled publish time, used to schedule Shorts and to confirm they were published.

ClipFactory does not access data of any other YouTube user, does not read comments, subscribers or analytics of other channels, and does not collect personal data from viewers.

How we use it

The data is used only to upload the operator's own Shorts, set their title, description, tags and publish time, and check that they were published. It is never sold, shared with third parties, used for advertising or combined with other data.

Storage and security

Tokens and the IDs of the tool's own uploads are stored only on the operator's computer, in a local folder that is not synced or shared. No YouTube data is stored on any server. Data is transmitted to Google only over HTTPS.

Retention and deletion

• The IDs of the tool's own uploads are kept to keep track of them; any other data obtained from YouTube API Services (such as a video's status) is refreshed or deleted within 30 days.
• Disconnecting a channel in the tool deletes its stored tokens immediately.
• Access can be revoked at any time on the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. After revocation, all stored data for that account is deleted within 7 days.
• To request deletion of any data, write to fernandosrampon@gmail.com; it is deleted within 7 days.

Cookies

This website and the tool do not use cookies or tracking technologies, and do not place any on viewers' devices.
