Privacy notice

assistant is a personal research and workflow tool operated by Dmitry Piddubetskyy for his own use. It is not offered for public signup.

Current YouTube research feature

The current YouTube feature uses the YouTube Data API in read-only mode to retrieve public channel and video metadata for research. It does not upload or modify YouTube content. This describes that feature and does not imply that all app integrations are limited to YouTube.

Public metadata selected for analysis may be sent to AI analysis services chosen and configured by the owner. Currently, these include OpenAI/Codex. The app does not sell Google user data or use it for advertising targeting.

Credentials and local data

Google OAuth credentials are stored in a local file on the owner’s Mac with owner-only file permissions. Research files are kept only as needed for the specified research and subject to applicable Google and YouTube API rules. The owner controls local files and can delete them or request deletion through the support contact below. Revoking OAuth access does not delete files already collected.

Website and hosting

Google access and related policies

The owner can review and revoke the app’s Google access through Google Account permissions. See Google’s Privacy Policy and YouTube’s Terms of Service.
