This Privacy Policy describes how this CMS environment (“the CMS”, “we”, “our”, “us”) handles information when administrators use features that integrate with the YouTube Data API Services. This CMS is accessible only to authenticated administrators of the website and is not intended for public use.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of the YouTube-related features within the CMS.
1. Use of YouTube API Services
The CMS uses YouTube API Services to retrieve public information about YouTube videos for administrative and content-management purposes.
By using CMS features that rely on YouTube API Services, you acknowledge and agree to the YouTube Terms of Service:
https://www.youtube.com/t/terms
You also acknowledge that the Google Privacy Policy applies:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
2. What Information We Access
When you use the YouTube-related functionality in the CMS, we may access the following publicly available YouTube data:
- Video titles
- Video descriptions
- Channel names
- Thumbnails
- Video IDs
- Other public metadata returned by the YouTube Data API
This information is retrieved dynamically from YouTube and is not personal data about you.
3. What Information We Collect, Store, or Process
This CMS integration does NOT:
- Collect or store any personal information about administrators
- Collect or store end-user data
- Collect analytics, tracking data, or behavioral data
- Store or handle OAuth authorization tokens
- Access YouTube user accounts
- Access private videos or private user information
The only information that may be stored temporarily is:
- The YouTube API key, stored securely inside the CMS configuration
- (Optional) Cached public YouTube video metadata to improve performance
No personal data is collected, stored, processed, or transferred.
4. How We Use Information
Any data retrieved via the YouTube Data API is used solely for:
- Displaying YouTube video metadata inside the CMS
- Allowing administrators to manage or reference video content
- Improving usability for editors and content creators
We do not use the data for:
- Advertising
- Analytics
- User profiling
- Selling or sharing data with third parties
- Combining it with other datasets
5. Sharing of Information
We do not share any CMS data or YouTube API–retrieved information with:
- Third parties
- External service providers
- Any advertising or analytics platforms
YouTube Data API responses remain inside the CMS and are used only by authenticated administrators.
6. Cookies and Local Storage
The YouTube API integration itself does not set cookies.
However, WordPress may set session or authentication cookies required for normal CMS operation.
No additional cookies or tracking technologies are used for YouTube API functionality.
7. Authorization Tokens
This CMS:
- Does not request OAuth authorization
- Does not store OAuth tokens
- Does not act on behalf of a YouTube user account
If OAuth functionality is added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated and administrators will be notified.
8. Data Retention
Since no personal data is collected or stored:
- No user data retention applies
- Cached YouTube metadata (if used) may be stored temporarily for performance
- The API key is stored until an administrator updates or deletes it
9. Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect configuration data (including API keys), including:
- Restricting access to authenticated CMS administrators
- Following WordPress security practices
- Limiting API usage to administrator-only pages
10. Administrator Rights
Since no personal information is collected or processed, there are no personal data rights applicable under GDPR or similar laws.
If you believe this is incorrect or if you want clarification, contact the site owner or CMS administrator.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Updates will be posted in the CMS or on the dedicated Privacy Policy page.
12. Contact
