YouTube API Compliance

What we access

• TubeToMarket uses the YouTube Data API to search public videos and retrieve publicly available metadata and statistics (titles, descriptions, view counts, comment counts, channel names, publication dates, and thumbnails).
• For user-requested comment tracking, it may retrieve public comment and thread data (like counts, reply counts) for specific comments the user has manually posted and opted to track.

Intended use

TubeToMarket is intended for contextual research and manual founder outreach. It helps users identify relevant public YouTube videos, understand why a video may fit their product, and draft optional comment ideas for human review. It is not for spam, mass commenting, auto-commenting, or engagement manipulation.

What we do not do

• Does not post to YouTube. TubeToMarket does not post, edit, delete, or submit any content to YouTube on behalf of users.
• Does not automate comments. Comment drafts are generated for human review. Users copy, edit, and post manually outside the app.
• Does not scrape YouTube. All YouTube data is retrieved through the official YouTube Data API.
• Does not bypass YouTube rate limits. API usage respects quota limits and does not attempt to circumvent them.
• Does not sell YouTube API data. Data retrieved from the YouTube Data API is used solely to provide the TubeToMarket service and is not sold or shared with third parties.
• Does not manipulate engagement. TubeToMarket does not inflate views, likes, comments, subscribers, or any other YouTube engagement metric.

User responsibilities

• Users manually review, edit, and post comments outside of TubeToMarket. The app provides drafts as starting points only.
• Users must comply with the YouTube Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and all applicable laws when posting.

Data retention

• Campaign-linked YouTube metadata (titles, descriptions, statistics, and thumbnail URLs) is stored while a campaign is active and refreshed up to twice daily for subscribed accounts.
• Search-result cache entries expire after 24 hours and are removed during scheduled maintenance. Shared video metadata is refreshed on a rolling basis while referenced by an active campaign.
• When a campaign is archived or has not been refreshed for 90 days, its stored opportunities and unreferenced shared video metadata are deleted automatically. Thumbnails are always displayed by URL from YouTube's CDN; we do not host thumbnail image files.

Data deletion and export

Users can permanently delete a campaign or their entire account from Settings. Deletion removes campaign data, opportunities, comment drafts, tracked placements, and triggers cleanup of unreferenced YouTube API cache rows (including shared search cache and video metadata no longer linked to any user). Deletion is immediate and non-recoverable. For data export requests, contact [email protected].
