WhatToUpload

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

WhatToUpload ("we") is an AI planning tool for YouTube creators at whattoupload.com. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the controls you have. The short version: your creative data exists to personalize your own workspace, you can see and delete everything we learn about you, and we never sell your data.

What we collect

Account information: your name, email address and password hash (or your Google account identity if you sign in with Google).

Content you create in the product: ideas, packaging directions, scripts, research notes, calendar entries and your creator profile (what you make, who for, tone).

Creative decisions: when you save, select, edit or reject AI-generated options, we record those decisions to personalize future suggestions. This is the product's core feature ("Creator Brain").

Usage analytics: anonymous page-view analytics via Vercel Analytics. We do not use advertising trackers.

YouTube data

WhatToUpload uses the YouTube API Services. By connecting your YouTube channel you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms). Google's Privacy Policy applies at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

If you choose to connect your YouTube channel, we request read-only access and import: your channel name, avatar, subscriber count, your uploaded videos' titles, descriptions, thumbnails, publish dates and public statistics (views, likes, comments). We never gain the ability to upload, edit, delete or comment on your behalf.

This data is used solely to personalize your own workspace — for example, learning your title patterns and suggesting follow-up ideas. It is never shared with other users or third parties, and is not used for advertising.

You can disconnect at any time from the Channel page, which revokes our access with Google and stops all further syncing. You can also revoke access from your Google security settings at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. Upon disconnection you may request deletion of previously imported YouTube data (see Your rights below); stored API data is refreshed or deleted in line with the YouTube API Services policies.

How we use your data

  • To provide the product: generating ideas, titles, packaging, scripts and research personalized to you.
  • To power your Creator Brain: your decisions inside the app are converted into preferences with confidence scores, visible and editable by you.
  • AI processing: content you submit (ideas, briefs, profile context) is sent to our AI model providers to generate results. Providers process it as data processors and it is not used to train their public models per their API terms.
  • We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers.

Your rights and controls

  • Inspect and correct: every learned preference is visible on your Creator Brain page, with controls to correct, delete or confirm it.
  • Disable learning: you can pause decision recording entirely at any time.
  • Delete: you can request deletion of your account and all associated data (including imported YouTube data) by emailing us; deletion completes within 30 days.
  • Export: you can request an export of your data.

Storage and security

Data is stored in managed PostgreSQL (Neon, US region) and served via Vercel. OAuth tokens are stored server-side and never exposed to the browser. Access to production data is limited to the operators of the service.
