How Autopilot uses your YouTube account

Permissions we request

Read-only access to your channel ( youtube.readonly). Channel name, channel ID, default language, and public statistics (subscriber count, view count, video count) of the channel you connect. We use this to confirm which channel you own and to display its name and stats on your Autopilot dashboard. This permission does not authorize us to read videos, comments, playlists, subscriptions, or analytics.

Upload videos to your channel ( youtube.upload). Autopilot generates short-form videos based on your configured preferences (channel category, schedule, visual preset) and uploads them directly to the channel you connected. Each upload includes a title, description, and tags Autopilot composes from your settings — you can edit any of these in YouTube Studio after upload. You retain full ownership of every video uploaded. Your channel, subscribers, and AdSense revenue remain entirely yours. This permission does not authorize comment, playlist, subscription, or analytics writes.

What we do not do

• We do not read, post, or moderate comments on your videos.
• We do not modify videos after upload (no edits to title, description, tags, or thumbnail post-publish).
• We do not set custom thumbnails (YouTube's auto-generated frame is used).
• We do not enumerate or read videos uploaded outside Autopilot.
• We do not access YouTube Analytics beyond the public statistics described above.
• We do not access Google services beyond what is strictly required: YouTube Data API v3 (the two scopes above) plus Google’s OpenID Connect endpoint (openid/email/profile) for sign-in. We do not access Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, or any other Google service.
• We do not share your YouTube data with third parties or use it for advertising.

Revoke access at any time

You can disconnect Autopilot Videos from your YouTube account at any time by visiting myaccount.google.com/permissions and removing Autopilot Videos. Doing so stops Autopilot from publishing further videos to your channel. Videos already uploaded remain on your channel under your control.
