Kappal Neram Pipeline · last updated 22 October 2026

Kappal Neram Pipeline is a command-line program run locally by one person on their own computer. It has no server, no database and no other users.

What it accesses

With the operator's consent, the program signs in to a single Google account in order to act on that account's own YouTube channel. It requests only these permissions:

• youtube.upload — to upload video files to that channel
• youtube.force-ssl — to set the title, description, tags, thumbnail and visibility of videos it has uploaded
• yt-analytics.readonly — to read view counts and traffic sources for that channel's own videos

What it stores, and where

After sign-in, Google returns an access token. That token is written to a file called token.json on the operator's own computer, so that the program does not have to ask for sign-in again each time it runs. This file never leaves that computer.

Audio files, images, rendered videos and the text written for each video are likewise stored only on the operator's own computer.

What it does not do

• It does not transmit personal data to the developer or to any third party.
• It does not use Google user data for advertising, profiling, or training any model.
• It does not sell or share data with anyone.
• It does not read, modify or delete data belonging to any account other than the one that signs in.
• It does not collect information about viewers of the published videos beyond the aggregate statistics YouTube itself shows the channel owner.

Limited Use

This application's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking access

Access can be withdrawn at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Deleting token.json removes the stored credential from the computer. Doing either stops the program from being able to reach the account.

Retention

The stored token is kept until it expires or is deleted. There is no other retained Google user data.
