YouTube Data Privacy

Effective: July 3, 2026

This page explains how roske.ai (the personal website of Edward Roske) uses YouTube content and handles data related to YouTube. It supplements the site's general Privacy Policy. If anything here conflicts with Google's or YouTube's own terms, those terms control.

Use of YouTube content and API Services

roske.ai displays and embeds videos from Edward Roske's YouTube channel (@Roske-AI). To do this, the site retrieves publicly available video information (titles, video IDs, thumbnails, publish dates, and descriptions) and shows it on the Videos and Speaking pages, and embeds the YouTube player so visitors can watch without leaving the site.

To the extent the site or its tooling accesses YouTube data, that use is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and, where YouTube API Services are used, the YouTube API Services Terms of Service.

Authentication and OAuth (owner use only)

The public roske.ai website does not ask you to sign in with Google and does not request access to your Google or YouTube account. As a visitor, you are never prompted for credentials and never shown an OAuth consent screen.

OAuth is used in exactly one place, and by exactly one person. Edward Roske, the sole owner of this website and of the @Roske-AI YouTube channel, runs a private, behind-the-scenes tool that uses YouTube API Services to publish his own videos, with their titles, descriptions, and metadata, to his own channel. That tool authenticates through Google's standard OAuth 2.0 flow using the YouTube upload scope, authorized once by Edward against his own Google account.

To be explicit for the record: this project never asks any other person for their Google or YouTube credentials, never obtains or stores OAuth tokens for anyone other than the owner, and never uses OAuth access for anything other than the owner publishing his own content to his own channel. No visitor, subscriber, or third party is ever authenticated, authorized, or accessed.

Google Privacy Policy

Any data that YouTube or Google collects through embedded players or your interaction with YouTube is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Please review it to understand how Google handles your information.

What data this site collects through YouTube

• From YouTube: only public, non-personal video metadata (titles, video IDs, thumbnails, dates, descriptions) from Edward's own channel, used to display his videos. The site does not request or store your personal YouTube account data.
• When you watch an embedded video: the embed uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Even so, YouTube and Google may collect information about your interaction and may set cookies, as described in the Google Privacy Policy. roske.ai does not receive or store that data.

Data storage and retention

The public video metadata described above is cached in the site's own files so the pages load quickly, and it is refreshed periodically from YouTube. It contains no personal information about site visitors. No YouTube user data is sold, rented, or shared with third parties.

Deleting your data and revoking access

You are in control of the data Google and YouTube hold about you:

• Review or delete your Google and YouTube activity through your Google Account and My Google Activity.
• Revoke third-party access to your Google or YouTube data at the Google security settings page (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions).
• To request deletion of any data associated with you that this site may hold, email Edward@Roske.AI and it will be removed. Because the site stores only public video metadata and no personal YouTube data, there is typically nothing tied to an individual to delete.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL (roske.ai/youtube-privacy) and the effective date above will be revised.
