RankBot · last updated November 13, 2026

1. Who we are

RankBot is a private, single-user tool run by the owner of the YouTube channel “GTA 6 Rankings”. It is used only to manage that owner’s own YouTube channel.

2. YouTube API Services

RankBot uses YouTube API Services (YouTube Data API v3 and YouTube Analytics API). By using RankBot you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

3. Information we access, collect and store

When the channel owner signs in with Google (OAuth 2.0), RankBot requests these permissions:

• youtube.upload — to upload videos that the owner has manually approved;
• youtube.readonly — to read the owner’s channel details and the statistics of the owner’s videos;
• yt-analytics.readonly — to read the owner’s YouTube Analytics reports (views, watch time, subscribers).

Stored on the owner’s private server: the OAuth refresh token; the owner’s channel ID, title and statistics; daily analytics of the owner’s channel; the IDs, titles and view/like counts of videos RankBot uploaded. RankBot also runs a few keyword searches per day for public Shorts and keeps only aggregated hints (popular hashtags and title patterns). These results are refreshed every 24 hours, overwritten, and never shown publicly. RankBot does not access Gmail, contacts, files or any account other than the channel owner’s.

4. How information is used and shared

Data is used only to upload the owner’s approved videos and to show the owner a private statistics dashboard. It is visible only to the owner. We do not sell, rent or share YouTube or Google user data with third parties, and do not use it for advertising. RankBot’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

5. Cookies and device storage

This website does not use cookies or tracking. The RankBot dashboard runs only on the owner’s own server and does not place cookies or similar technologies on any other user’s device, and does not allow third parties to do so.

6. Revoking access and deletion

Access can be revoked at any time in the Google security settings page (https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions). After access is revoked, or at the owner’s request, the stored token and all stored YouTube data are deleted from the server within 7 days.

7. Contact

Questions or deletion requests: use the contact email shown on the “GTA 6 Rankings” YouTube channel’s About page.
