Privacy policy

Gears & Scale makes engineering videos published on YouTube. This policy covers this website and the Gears & Scale Uploader, a private tool we use to publish videos to our own YouTube channel.

This website

We do not collect personal information.
There are no accounts, forms, comments, ads, cookies, analytics or tracking scripts.
Everything on this site is served from this site; no third-party services are loaded.
Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability. We do not use them to identify anyone.

Our videos on YouTube

When you watch on YouTube, YouTube's own policies apply. We do not receive personal information about viewers beyond the aggregated statistics YouTube gives every channel. See the Google Privacy Policy.

Gears & Scale Uploader (YouTube API Services)

The Uploader uses YouTube API Services. By using it you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy applies.

Who uses it: only the Gears & Scale team, signed in to our own channel. It is not offered to the public.
What it accesses: our own channel, to upload our videos and set their titles, descriptions, thumbnails and playlists.
What it stores: a sign-in token kept privately on our own computer, and a log of our uploads (video ID, title, date). It does not collect, store or share any data about viewers or other YouTube users.
Sharing: we do not sell or share any data with anyone.
Removing access: access can be revoked at any time on the Google security settings page. Stored tokens are deleted when access is removed or on request.
