When a user wants to use our YouTube uploader, they'll be asked to login and consent to some permissions that our app requires from them to upload videos to their YouTube account. Once they give consent, our app would get an authorization code that we exchange for a token which we can use to communicate with the YouTube API on behalf of that user's account.

A privacy policy and terms of service are optional to include on the consent screen.

I'm always curious what an app will and will not do with the permissions I give it. For example, if I give permissions to upload videos to my account, I want to know for sure that it will only upload videos I tell it to, and that it won't go uploading random videos without my knowledge. Anyone with an online identity will fear the same.

So a simple privacy policy would be nice, could just be a short paragraph. In the terms of service we could say something like don't abuse the service, since we're kindly letting you use our "secret" API key.

The email address we'll be using won't be my personal email address. It will most likely be [email protected]
