Inner Circle Huniverse
Our Google data connection (YouTube API)
This page transparently explains why and which Google account data the Inner Circle Huniverse application requests access to via Google OAuth, in line with Google's developer policies.
Purpose of the application
The Inner Circle Huniverse website (innercirclehun.hu) automatically displays the public content of our own YouTube channel (Inner Circle Huniverse) — videos, Shorts, playlists, subscriber count — on our Content page, via Google's official YouTube Data API. The application is an in-house sync tool that regularly (via a daily automated run) fetches the channel's public data and updates the website with it — without human intervention, solely to showcase our own brand's content.
The application is used exclusively by the developers (Miklós Borsi and Zoltán Rácz), with their own Google account, to manage their own YouTube channel — it does not and cannot involve any other user or Google account.
What permissions we request, and why
| Scope | What we use it for |
|---|---|
openid, userinfo.email, userinfo.profile | Identifying the developer Google account during sign-in (a technical OAuth step; no data is collected from it). |
youtube.readonly | Fetching our own channel's public data (videos, Shorts, playlists, subscriber count) to automatically update the Content page. |
youtube.force-ssl | Used solely to read our own videos' official captions — per Google's YouTube Data API documentation, this is the minimum scope required for reading captions. We do not use it to edit or delete videos, comments, or captions. |
drive.file | Managing cache files stored in a Google Drive folder created solely by the application — e.g. storing a processed, compressed version of caption data. This is the narrowest Drive scope: we only access files created by the app itself, not any other content in the Drive account. |
What we do not access
The application does not upload, edit, or delete any video, comment, or caption; does not handle channel partnership or monetization data; does not access any Google account data other than the developer account; and does not access any other files in the Google Drive account beyond those created by the app itself.
