Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LazyTube ("LazyTube", "we", "us") collects, uses, stores and shares information when you use the LazyTube website, Chrome extension and related services.

LazyTube is a tool that helps you upload videos and YouTube Shorts to your own YouTube channel in bulk. We only use information as needed to provide that functionality and the other purposes described below.

LazyTube is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.

LazyTube uses Google OAuth so you can authorize access to your YouTube channel. You sign in through Google's own authorization flow. LazyTube does not collect or store your Google password.

To keep your authorized YouTube connection active, LazyTube stores a YouTube OAuth refresh token securely on our server-side backend (Supabase). When needed to perform an operation you have authorized, our backend may obtain short-lived YouTube access tokens.

LazyTube accesses only the YouTube data needed to provide its upload and channel-management features. This can include:

• Your YouTube channel ID
• Your YouTube channel name/title
• Connected channel information needed to identify and verify the YouTube channel you selected
• Playlists, so you can choose a playlist during uploads
• Information needed to perform the YouTube video uploads you authorize
• Video metadata associated with your uploads, including supported settings such as title, description, tags, category, visibility, scheduling/publication settings, audience settings and other supported YouTube upload settings

LazyTube does not access your entire YouTube account or your entire YouTube history.

LazyTube can access video and thumbnail files that you explicitly select for upload from your computer. These files are processed locally by the extension and, when applicable, uploaded directly from your computer to YouTube. LazyTube does not upload or store those video or thumbnail files on its backend.

LazyTube supports YouTube Shorts uploads. Custom thumbnail uploads for Shorts are not currently supported.

LazyTube uses Supabase as part of its backend infrastructure. Depending on the features you use, LazyTube may store or process:

• Your LazyTube account identity and account information
• Connected YouTube channel information
• YouTube OAuth connection information
• Subscription/plan information
• Billing information received from our payment processor (Stripe customer and subscription IDs, plan, billing status and billing period end — never payment card details)
• Upload usage and reservation information
• Product usage, API usage and error telemetry
• Information required to authorize backend requests
• Other information required to provide LazyTube functionality

Your video files and thumbnail files are not stored on Supabase or on LazyTube's backend.

Paid LazyTube plans are processed by Stripe, our payment processor. When you upgrade, payment is completed on Stripe's hosted checkout page, and subscription management (such as changing or canceling a plan) is done through Stripe's customer portal.

LazyTube does not collect, store or process your payment card details. Payment card and payment method details are submitted directly to Stripe through Stripe-hosted checkout and are not received or stored by LazyTube.

LazyTube receives and stores only the information needed to manage your plan: a Stripe customer ID, subscription ID, the plan you selected, your subscription and billing status (including payment-failure and cancellation status), and your current billing period end date. Your email address is shared with Stripe to create your billing account.

Stripe processes payments and recurring subscriptions in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at stripe.com/privacy.

LazyTube uses its own product telemetry to operate, monitor, troubleshoot and improve the service. Telemetry may include events such as upload events, API usage events and error events.

This telemetry is not used for advertising tracking.

LazyTube may offer AI-assisted generation of metadata such as descriptions or tags. When you request AI-generated content, LazyTube may send the information needed for that request, such as the video title and your relevant instructions or selected mode, through the LazyTube backend to the AI service used for that feature.

Your video files are not sent to the AI service.

We use information only for purposes such as:

• Providing LazyTube's upload functionality
• Connecting and maintaining your authorized YouTube channel
• Performing uploads and related YouTube operations you request
• Saving your LazyTube account and relevant settings
• Managing upload usage and plan limits
• Processing payments and managing your subscription and billing status
• Providing AI-assisted features you request
• Preventing abuse and unauthorized access
• Troubleshooting errors and monitoring service reliability
• Improving LazyTube
• Providing customer support
• Meeting legal and security obligations

We do not sell your data, and we do not use your data for personalized advertising.

LazyTube shares or transmits information only where necessary to provide the service you request, operate our infrastructure, provide requested third-party functionality, maintain security or comply with the law. The service providers involved are:

• Google / YouTube, because LazyTube uses YouTube API Services to perform the YouTube operations you authorize.
• Supabase, for backend infrastructure and data storage.
• Stripe, our payment processor, when you purchase or manage a paid plan. Stripe receives your email address and payment details directly; LazyTube never receives your card details.
• The AI service used for AI-assisted features, only when you request AI-generated content.

LazyTube does not sell YouTube API data, does not share it for advertising, and does not transfer your data to unrelated third parties for their own purposes.

LazyTube uses YouTube API Services to provide YouTube-related functionality, including connecting a user's authorized YouTube channel and performing upload-related operations requested by the user.

LazyTube does not request or store your Google password. YouTube authorization is performed through Google's authorization system.

By using LazyTube's YouTube features, you are also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service. For information about how Google handles your data, see the Google Privacy Policy.

You can revoke LazyTube's access to your Google/YouTube account at any time through your Google security settings.

Revoking access through Google and deleting data stored by LazyTube are separate actions. See Revoking Access and Deleting Data.

LazyTube handles user data in accordance with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

• Data collected through the extension is used only as necessary to provide, operate, secure and improve LazyTube's user-facing functionality.
• LazyTube does not sell user data.
• LazyTube does not use personal or sensitive user data for personalized, retargeted or interest-based advertising.
• Data is transferred to third parties only where necessary for the LazyTube functionality described in this policy (Google/YouTube, Supabase and, when requested, the AI service), for security, to comply with legal obligations, or for other purposes permitted by the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy.

You can:

• Disconnect or revoke LazyTube's access to your Google/YouTube account, including through your Google security settings.
• Request deletion of data stored by LazyTube.
• Delete your LazyTube account.

Additional in-app options for disconnecting your channel will be described here once they are available.

Deleting data stored by LazyTube does not delete any videos, playlists, channels or other content stored on YouTube. That content remains on YouTube and is managed through YouTube.

You can request deletion of your LazyTube account and associated data through our account and data deletion process. See Account & Data Deletion.

Deleting your LazyTube account is different from deleting content on YouTube. It does not remove videos, playlists or channels from YouTube.

LazyTube retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the relevant service, maintain your account, fulfil the purposes described in this policy, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and maintain security.

YouTube API data is handled, retained and deleted in accordance with the applicable YouTube API Services policies. When you revoke LazyTube's access or request deletion, the relevant stored YouTube API data is deleted as required by those policies.

Billing-related records (such as Stripe customer and subscription identifiers) are retained for as long as necessary for billing, accounting, legal and security purposes.

LazyTube uses reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information. Communications with LazyTube's backend use secure HTTPS connections, and OAuth refresh tokens are stored server-side rather than in the Chrome extension.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and limit access to it.

The LazyTube website does not currently use advertising trackers or third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or Microsoft Clarity. If this changes, we will update this policy.

Details of any essential technical cookies or storage used by LazyTube will be listed here.

LazyTube is not directed to children. LazyTube is intended for users who are legally able to use the service under applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy as LazyTube changes. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Privacy questions and data requests, including requests to access or delete data stored by LazyTube, can be submitted through the Support page or by emailing support@lazytube.app.
