An authorization token is kept on the owner's own computer. No YouTube or Google user data is copied to any server, shared with, sold to, or transferred to any third party, and none is used for advertising or to train AI models.
Use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
