Open Gaming Forensic Lab

Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 18, 2026

Overview

This policy explains how Open Gaming Forensic Lab Publisher (the "Application") and the Open Gaming Forensic Lab YouTube channel access, use and protect data obtained through Google APIs (YouTube Data API v3, YouTube Analytics API and YouTube Reporting API). The Application is an internal tool used only by the channel team to publish to, and review the performance of, the channel's own YouTube account.

Google user data accessed and why

  • youtube.upload: upload the channel's episodes and thumbnails.
  • youtube, youtube.force-ssl, youtubepartner: manage titles, descriptions, captions, playlists and pinned comments on the channel's own videos.
  • youtube.readonly: read the channel's own video list and publishing status.
  • yt-analytics.readonly: read aggregate channel metrics (views, watch time, retention, impressions, click-through rate, traffic sources) to improve future episodes.

The Application does not access other channels or Google accounts and does not collect personal information about viewers beyond the aggregate statistics YouTube provides to channel owners.

Storage, sharing and retention

We do not sell, rent or transfer Google user data to third parties, data brokers or advertising networks. OAuth tokens and analytics data are stored only on the channel team's own computers with restricted file permissions and are never exposed through public endpoints. Analytics data is kept only as long as needed for editorial review; tokens are deleted when access is revoked.

Google API Services Limited Use

Use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The Application uses YouTube API Services, subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

This website

This site does not use cookies or analytics. Episode pages embed YouTube's player; YouTube's own policies apply when you play a video.
