YouTube API Services
ShowStencil uses YouTube API Services. By using ShowStencil you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and your data is handled in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.
YouTube data we access
- Your own YouTube channel analytics and statistics (views, watch time, subscribers, revenue estimates and other performance metrics for the channel you connect).
- Metadata for videos on your channel (titles, descriptions, thumbnails, publish dates and public statistics).
- Publicly available data about competitor channels and their videos that we identify in your niche (public channel and video statistics and metadata only — never their private analytics).
How long we store it
We store YouTube API data only as long as needed to provide the Service. Competitor video and channel metadata is refreshed and replaced on an ongoing basis and stale copies are removed within 30 days. Statistical snapshots used to show trends over time are retained for up to 36 months. If you disconnect your channel, revoke access, or your account is inactive for an extended period, we delete the associated YouTube-derived data as described below.
How to revoke access
You can revoke ShowStencil's access to your Google/YouTube account at any time through your Google Account security settings. You may also delete your ShowStencil account (and all associated YouTube data) from your account settings. Revoking access stops all future data collection and triggers deletion of your stored YouTube-derived data.
