YouTube API Information

LazyTube uses YouTube API Services to provide YouTube-related functionality, such as connecting your authorized YouTube channel and performing the uploads you request.

LazyTube is a third-party application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google. For the official terms and policies that apply, see:

• YouTube API Services Terms of Service
• YouTube Developer Policies
• YouTube API Required Minimum Functionality
• YouTube Terms of Service

LazyTube only accesses the YouTube data necessary for the features you authorize. This can include:

• Your YouTube channel ID
• Your YouTube channel name/title
• Connected channel information needed to identify and verify the selected channel
• Playlists needed for playlist selection
• Information needed to perform authorized video uploads
• Upload-related video metadata and supported YouTube settings, such as title, description, tags, category, visibility, scheduling/publication settings and audience settings

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

LazyTube uses Google OAuth so you can authorize access to your YouTube channel. Authentication takes place through Google's own authorization system.

LazyTube does not collect or store your Google password.

LazyTube only requests the access needed for the functionality it provides.

YouTube API data is used to:

• Connect and identify your authorized YouTube channel
• Let you select playlists where supported
• Perform the uploads you request
• Apply the upload metadata and supported settings you request
• Maintain your authorized YouTube connection
• Operate, troubleshoot and secure the service

LazyTube does not sell YouTube API data, and YouTube data is not used for personalized, retargeted or interest-based advertising.

Video files selected for upload are handled locally by the LazyTube extension and uploaded directly to YouTube. LazyTube does not upload or store those video files on its backend.

Thumbnail files are handled locally and sent to YouTube when supported. LazyTube does not store 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:

• LazyTube account information
• Connected YouTube channel information
• YouTube OAuth connection information
• Subscription/plan information
• Upload usage and reservation information
• Product, API and error telemetry
• Information required to authorize backend requests

Video and thumbnail files are not stored on LazyTube's backend.

To keep your authorized YouTube connection active, LazyTube stores the YouTube OAuth refresh token server-side. Refresh tokens are not intended to be stored in Chrome extension storage or exposed to users.

When needed to perform an operation you have authorized, LazyTube's backend can obtain a short-lived access token.

You remain in control of the actions LazyTube performs on your behalf. LazyTube is designed to clearly identify the YouTube channel associated with a requested operation and the relevant upload settings.

When uploading, you can choose supported video settings such as visibility. LazyTube does not change your existing YouTube content without your instruction.

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

Revoking Google/YouTube authorization and deleting data stored by LazyTube are separate actions. To request deletion of LazyTube data, visit Account & Data Deletion.

You can request deletion of data stored by LazyTube through the Account & Data Deletion page.

Deleting LazyTube data does not delete:

• YouTube videos
• YouTube Shorts
• Playlists
• YouTube channels
• Other content stored on YouTube

That content remains on YouTube and is managed through YouTube.

Full details of how LazyTube collects, uses, stores and shares information are available in our Privacy Policy.

LazyTube interacts with the following third-party services to provide its functionality:

• Google / YouTube — YouTube API Services and authorization
• Supabase — backend infrastructure and data storage
• The AI service used for AI-assisted metadata generation — only when you request that feature
