Privacy Policy — Dr. Curiosity
Effective Date: September 9, 2026
Application Name: Dr. Curiosity (also referred to as "Shorts Automation Pipeline")
Operator: GGR Global Enterprises LLC
Contact: playcutofficial1@gmail.com
This Privacy Policy describes how Dr. Curiosity (the "Application," "we," "us," or "our") accesses, uses, stores, and protects information obtained through the Google and YouTube API Services, specifically these YouTube Data API / YouTube Analytics API scopes: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly, and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics.readonly.
This Application uses YouTube API Services. By connecting your Google account, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy. For general information about how Google handles your data, please also review the Google Privacy Policy.
1.1 Information We Collect
When you authorize Dr. Curiosity through Google's OAuth consent flow, we collect and process only the following categories of information:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Google User Identifier | Your Google account identifier (user ID / channel ID) used to uniquely link your connected YouTube channel to your account within the Application. |
| Email Address | The email address associated with your Google account, used solely to identify your channel connection and to communicate account- or service-related notices. |
| OAuth Access & Refresh Tokens | Opaque credentials issued by Google that authorize the Application to upload videos to, read basic channel identity for, and view analytics for the YouTube channel(s) you explicitly authorize. |
| Basic Channel Identity | Your channel's title and channel ID, read once at connection time to confirm to you which channel was actually authorized before any upload happens. |
| View-Only Analytics | Aggregate view/watch-time metrics for videos the Application itself uploaded, via the YouTube Analytics API, displayed back to you in your own dashboard. |
| Upload Metadata You Provide | Video files, titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, and scheduling preferences that you submit through the Application for upload. |
We do not collect Google user data beyond the categories listed above, and we request only the minimum scopes necessary for those purposes (youtube.upload, youtube.readonly, and yt-analytics.readonly). We do not request access to modify or delete your existing YouTube videos, comments, or playlists, and we never read comments or any Google data outside of YouTube.
1.2 How We Use Google User Data
Google user data is used strictly and exclusively for the following purposes:
- Channel Linking & Verification — to associate your Google account and email address with the correct YouTube channel inside the Application dashboard, and to confirm at connection time which channel was actually authorized (its name and ID) before any upload happens.
- Video Creation and Uploading — to authenticate and perform direct uploads of the educational videos you generate or select within the pipeline to the YouTube channel(s) you have authorized.
- Performance Reporting — to display view/watch-time metrics, in your own dashboard, for videos the Application itself uploaded.
- Service Operation — to maintain your connection status, confirm upload results, and provide the core dashboard and automation features visible in the Application's user interface.
We do NOT use Google user data for any other purpose. Specifically, we do not:
- Sell, rent, or trade your data to any third party;
- Transfer your data to advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers;
- Use your data to serve advertisements, including retargeting, personalized, or interest-based advertising;
- Use your data to determine credit-worthiness or for lending purposes;
- Allow humans to read your data, except in the narrow circumstances described in Section 1.5;
- Train general machine learning or AI models on your data.
1.3 Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect all Google user data against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure, in both transit and at rest:
- Encryption in transit: All communication with Google APIs occurs over TLS (HTTPS).
- Encryption at rest: OAuth access and refresh tokens are stored in encrypted local token files and/or encrypted environment variables on our secured infrastructure. Tokens are never stored in plaintext.
- Access controls: Token storage and processing systems are restricted to authorized personnel and processes that require them to operate the upload pipeline.
- No third-party sharing: Your Google user data is never shared with, sold to, or transferred to any third party, except as strictly necessary to provide the core upload functionality to Google itself, or as required by applicable law.
1.4 Data Retention and Deletion
- OAuth tokens and channel-linking data are retained only for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide the service.
- If you revoke access through the Application or via Google account settings, we will delete all stored tokens and Google user data associated with your account as soon as practicable, and in all cases within the timeframes required by the YouTube API Services Developer Policies.
- You may also request deletion of your tokens and data at any time by contacting us at playcutofficial1@gmail.com. We will confirm deletion in writing.
1.5 Limited Use Disclosure
Dr. Curiosity's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
In plain terms, this means our use of data obtained via Google API scopes is limited to providing or improving user-facing features that are prominent in the Application's interface. Transfers of data are permitted only to provide or improve those user-facing features (with your consent), for security purposes (such as investigating abuse), to comply with applicable laws, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets after obtaining your explicit prior consent. Humans are not permitted to read this data except with your affirmative agreement, where necessary for security purposes, where necessary to comply with applicable law, or where the data is aggregated for internal operations in accordance with applicable privacy laws. All other transfers, uses, or sales of user data — including transfer or sale to advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers, use for serving ads (including retargeting, personalized, or interest-based advertising), and use to determine credit-worthiness or for lending purposes — are prohibited.
