Privacy Policy

This policy covers kitchentableexplains.com and the private tool we use to run the Kitchen Table Explains YouTube channel.

This website

This site is a simple static website. We do not set cookies or use advertising trackers or analytics scripts, and we do not ask you for any personal information. Video thumbnails on this site are loaded from YouTube (i.ytimg.com), and our video pages embed the YouTube player in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com); when you load or watch YouTube content, YouTube may set its own cookies and Google's own privacy policy applies. Our web host (Cloudflare) may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses, for security and reliability.

Our use of YouTube API Services

We use YouTube API Services (the YouTube Data API and YouTube Analytics API) in a private tool that only the channel owner uses, to manage our own YouTube channel: uploading our videos, setting titles, descriptions, thumbnails, captions and translations, managing our playlists, scheduling releases, and reading our own channel's statistics. The tool is not offered to the public and does not access anyone else's YouTube account.

• By using YouTube content, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.
• Google's privacy practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy.

What data the tool accesses and stores

• Our own channel data only: our videos, captions, playlists, channel settings and statistics, accessed with the channel owner's Google sign-in (OAuth 2.0).
• Sign-in tokens are stored only on the channel owner's computer, are never shared, and can be revoked at any time.
• The tool does not collect, store, sell or share personal information about viewers or other YouTube users.
• Channel statistics we save for our own records stay on the channel owner's computer.

Revoking access and deleting data

Access granted to the tool can be revoked at any time on the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. If access is revoked, or on request, we delete any data obtained through YouTube API Services within 30 days. To ask about or request deletion of any data, email [email protected].

Children

This site and channel are general-audience education for adults and families. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
