Privacy Policy

Effective 10 November 2026

This policy covers the Historical Tidbits website and the "Historical Tidbits Publisher" application (together, "the service"), operated by the owner of the Historical Tidbits channel ("we").

What the publisher app does

The publisher app posts videos to social media accounts that belong to us. It connects to YouTube and TikTok through their official APIs after we, the account owner, authorise it. It is a single-operator tool; it does not offer accounts, logins or posting to the public.

Data we collect

When we authorise the app with TikTok or YouTube we receive an access token, a refresh token, and the basic profile information of our own account (an opaque user id, display name and avatar). We use these only to upload videos to that account and to show which account is connected. We do not collect any information about viewers of this website. The website sets no cookies and runs no analytics.

How data is stored

Tokens are stored on a server we control, in a configuration file and database readable only by the service's own account. They are never sold, shared or used for any purpose other than publishing to the connected account.

Third parties

Video files and captions are sent to TikTok and YouTube when we publish. Their handling of that content is governed by their own policies: TikTok, Google.

Deleting data

We can revoke the app's access at any time from the connected account's settings, which invalidates the stored tokens. Stored tokens and profile data are deleted on request.

Children

The service is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from them.
