Privacy Policy
In short: ChoiceSmith keeps sign-in tokens and an upload log on its owner's computer, sends videos only to the platform the owner chooses, and collects nothing else.
1. Data ChoiceSmith receives
- Sign-in tokens from TikTok, Google (YouTube) and Instagram, so it can upload on the account owner's behalf.
- Basic account details: on TikTok, the account's open ID (user.info.basic); on YouTube, the channel name and ID; on Instagram, the username and account ID. These are used only to show which account is connected.
- Upload results, such as a post's ID, link and processing status.
2. How it is used
This data is used only to upload the owner's videos and report the result back to the owner. It is never used for advertising, profiling or any other purpose.
3. Where it is stored
Everything stays on the owner's computer, in a local settings folder. ChoiceSmith has no server and no database, and it sends data only to the official API of the platform a video is being uploaded to.
4. Sharing
ChoiceSmith does not sell, rent or share data with anyone. Videos and captions go only to the platform the owner chooses to publish on.
5. What ChoiceSmith does not access
- Other users' profiles, followers, comments, messages or analytics.
- Contacts, location or device data.
- Any analytics or tracking service.
6. Retention and deletion
Tokens are kept until the owner disconnects an account or deletes the local settings folder. The local upload log (file name, time and result) can be deleted at any time. Disconnecting ChoiceSmith in a platform's settings revokes its access immediately; on TikTok this is under Settings and privacy, then Security, then Apps and services permissions.
7. Children
ChoiceSmith is not directed at children and is used only by its adult owner.
8. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated. The effective date at the top of this page shows when it last changed. See also the Terms of Service.
