Clipy accesses connected YouTube channel details, video metadata, thumbnails and analytics, including views, watch time, subscribers, impressions and revenue. It uses Google authorization to upload and schedule videos and manage their titles, descriptions, tags and thumbnails.
Authorization tokens, channel reports, notes, clip queues and processing files are stored on the operator’s server. Token files are restricted to the application user.
Channel analytics and operational information are processed by an OpenAI ChatGPT agent. Source audio is sent to AssemblyAI for transcription. Source transcripts and clip descriptions are processed through OpenRouter, which also generates thumbnail illustrations. Reports are sent to the operator through Matrix. These providers process data under their terms and the operator’s account settings.
Clipy does not sell channel data or share it with advertisers.
You can revoke access through Google Account settings. Cached data remains until the operator deletes it from the server and any backups. For access or deletion requests, contact jblowclips@gmail.com.
