3. Knowzies Serienstudio and the YouTube API Services

Knowzies Serienstudio is our internal production application. It uses the YouTube API Services. The YouTube Terms of Service apply, and Google processes data according to the Google Privacy Policy.

The application is used only by 2Mountain-Development GmbH and only for its own YouTube channels Knowzies and ChronicleKNOW. It is not offered to the public, and it has no other users. Each channel is authorised separately with Google OAuth, and the data of each channel is kept separate. With the authorisation of the channel owner it accesses:

  • channel information (channel ID, title, description, keywords, country, default language, localisations, banner),
  • videos, captions, thumbnails and playlists that the application uploads or manages,
  • aggregated YouTube Analytics reports for our own videos (views, watch time, average view duration, likes, subscribers gained, estimated revenue), read-only,
  • the API quota used per day.

Purpose: to upload our own episodes with titles, descriptions and captions in several languages, to schedule their publication, to add them to playlists, to keep the channel texts up to date and to see which of our episodes work best. Analytics data is aggregated per video and per day and contains no data about individual viewers.

Viewers and children: the application does not collect, store or process any data about viewers of our videos, and no data about children.

Storage: the OAuth access and refresh tokens and the data listed above are stored only on our own server in Germany. The application runs behind a private network connection and is not reachable from the internet.

Sharing: YouTube API Data is not sold, not shared with third parties and not used for advertising. Episode scripts and texts (not YouTube API Data) are processed by the AI services Anthropic (scripts, translations), ElevenLabs (voices) and Higgsfield (animation) as processors.

Cookies and devices: the application stores its tokens and settings in files on our server. It does not place cookies or other data on the devices of other people and does not let third parties do so.

Retention and deletion: stored YouTube API Data is deleted or refreshed after 30 days at the latest, unless the channel owner authorises otherwise. Access can be revoked at any time on Google's security settings page: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. After revocation, all stored tokens and YouTube API Data of that channel are deleted within 7 days. Deletion requests: office@2mountain-development.com.

4. Contact by e-mail

If you write to us, we process your message to answer it (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR) and delete it when it is no longer needed and no retention duty applies.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR). Contact: office@2mountain-development.com. You may lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde), Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, www.dsb.gv.at.

6. Changes
