Privacy Policy

ThinkUploader, operated by Thinkalyst. Last updated: 15 November 2026.

Who this covers

ThinkUploader is a private tool used only by the Thinkalyst team to publish Thinkalyst's own videos to the YouTube channel and Instagram account that Thinkalyst owns or manages. It is not available to the public, and it does not collect data about viewers, followers or any other people.

Data ThinkUploader accesses

• YouTube (via YouTube API Services): the authorizing account's channel identity (channel ID, title, handle), videos that ThinkUploader uploads and their processing, privacy and schedule status, and comments that ThinkUploader posts on those videos.
• Instagram (via the Instagram Platform API): the authorizing professional account's ID and username, media that ThinkUploader publishes, their permalinks, and comments ThinkUploader posts on them.
• Access tokens issued by Google and Meta when the account owner authorizes ThinkUploader.

How the data is used

Only to upload, schedule and publish Thinkalyst's own videos, set their thumbnails and covers, post comments from the same account, confirm publication, and show the Thinkalyst team the status, IDs and links of its posts. The data is not used for advertising, profiling, analytics about other people, or training AI models.

Storage and security

Access tokens are kept in the operating system's encrypted credential store (macOS Keychain) or an access-restricted secrets file on Thinkalyst's own server. Post metadata, platform IDs, links and an event log are kept in a local database on those same machines. Nothing is stored in source control. Records are kept while they are useful to the Thinkalyst team and can be deleted at any time.

Sharing

Data is not sold, rented or shared with anyone. It is sent only to Google/YouTube and Meta/Instagram, as needed to perform the publishing actions above.

Google user data

ThinkUploader's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. ThinkUploader uses YouTube API Services; by using it you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Revoking access

• Google/YouTube: remove ThinkUploader at myaccount.google.com/connections (also reachable via Google security settings).
• Instagram/Meta: remove it under Instagram Settings → Apps and websites, or Facebook Settings → Business integrations.

Revoking access stops all further publishing. Locally stored tokens can also be deleted with thinkup auth logout.
