Privacy Policy

Effective November 1, 2026

This policy covers the KoreaCrush app, operated by Jimmy Kwak (contact: koreacrush.tv@gmail.com). The app is a private tool that manages a single YouTube channel, 한국에 반하다, owned by the operator. The only Google account that connects to it is the channel owner's own account.

Google data the app accesses

When the channel owner signs in with Google, the app asks for two YouTube permissions:

• youtube.upload (manage your YouTube videos): used to upload the channel's finished videos with their title, description, tags, category, language settings and publish schedule.
• youtube.force-ssl (see, edit and permanently delete your YouTube videos, ratings, comments and captions): used to set the thumbnail of an uploaded video, to change a scheduled video to private and remove its schedule when the operator cancels it, to confirm which channel is connected (channel name and ID), and to manage comments on the channel's own videos.

The app reads only what it needs for those tasks: the connected channel's name and ID, and the ID, privacy status and publish time of videos it uploads. It does not read the account's email, contacts, other Google services, or any other channel's data. It does not delete videos.

How the data is used

Google user data is used only to operate the 한국에 반하다 channel for its owner. It is never sold, rented or shared with anyone, never used for advertising, and never used to develop, improve or train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

Storage and protection

• The long lived sign in token (refresh token) is stored on a private server controlled by the operator, in a file that only the operator's own system account can read. It is never written to logs, messages or web pages.
• Short lived access tokens are kept in memory only while a task runs and expire within an hour.
• All communication with Google uses HTTPS.
• Video records (video ID, title, publish time, status) are kept so the operator can see what was published and when.

Revoking access and deleting data

You can revoke the app's access at any time on your Google Account permissions page, myaccount.google.com/permissions. Once revoked, the stored token stops working. To have the stored token and records deleted, email koreacrush.tv@gmail.com; they are deleted within 7 days.

Google and YouTube policies

The KoreaCrush app's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The app uses YouTube API Services; by using it you are also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy applies to data held by Google.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted on this page with a new effective date.
