15. Integration With YouTube

PO integrates directly with YouTube Shorts to allow users to display their verified videos on the platform.

  • PO only accesses publicly available video data from YouTube (e.g., video titles, thumbnails, and view counts).

  • PO does not store or collect your YouTube login credentials or private analytics.

  • If a video is removed or restricted by YouTube, it will automatically be removed from PO.

  • You can disconnect your YouTube account from PO at any time through your user settings.

  • PO — Public Opinion (“PO”) uses YouTube API Services to provide certain video-related features within the application. When a user chooses to connect a Google/YouTube account, PO may request authorization through Google OAuth 2.0 to access the YouTube features and data necessary to provide those functions.

    YouTube API Data and Permissions

    Depending on the features used and permissions granted by the user, PO may access information associated with the user’s Google/YouTube account and may use YouTube API Services to allow users to upload videos to their own YouTube channel and display YouTube-hosted video content within PO. PO only requests Google/YouTube permissions necessary to provide the applicable user-facing functionality.

    PO does not sell Google or YouTube user data. Google/YouTube user data obtained through API Services is not sold or transferred to advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers, and is not used for personalized or interest-based advertising.

    Videos uploaded through PO using YouTube API Services are hosted by YouTube and remain subject to YouTube’s policies and the user’s YouTube account settings.

    Google and YouTube Policies

    By using features that interact with YouTube, users acknowledge that those features use YouTube API Services and are also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service:

    https://www.youtube.com/t/terms

    Information received from Google and YouTube is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable Google policies. Users should also review the Google Privacy Policy:

    https://policies.google.com/privacy

    Revoking Google/YouTube Access

    Users may revoke PO’s access to their Google/YouTube account at any time through their Google Account security settings:

    https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions

    Where supported within PO, users may also disconnect or remove their Google/YouTube authorization through the application. When authorization is revoked, PO will cease accessing the user’s authorized YouTube data and will revoke applicable authorization tokens as required.

    Deletion of Google/YouTube Data

    Users may request deletion of Google/YouTube user data stored by PO by deleting their PO account through the application’s account-deletion functionality or by contacting PO at info@peovo.com. Following revocation or a valid deletion request, applicable authorized YouTube API data stored by PO will be deleted as soon as possible and within the period required by YouTube’s Developer Policies.

    Deleting information stored by PO does not delete information or videos stored directly by YouTube. Users who wish to delete content stored on YouTube must do so through YouTube or another authorized YouTube client.

    PO’s access, use, storage, and sharing of information received from Google APIs will comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

16. Changes to This Policy

PO Network Inc. may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes.
When updates occur, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of the policy and, when required by law, provide notice through the PO app, website, or by email.
We encourage users to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect and use their information.
Continued use of PO after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

17. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy — and any disputes or claims arising under it — are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
