Shtinker — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

Shtinker is a private, non-commercial tool operated by a single individual (the "operator"). It watches publicly broadcast TikTok livestreams, sends the operator notifications, and uploads recordings to the operator's own YouTube channel. This page describes how the application handles data, in particular data obtained through Google APIs.

Information the app accesses

• Google / YouTube account: With the operator's consent, the app uses Google OAuth to obtain permission to upload videos to the operator's own YouTube channel (youtube.upload) and to read a video's processing status (youtube.readonly). It accesses no other Google account data.
• Publicly available content: metadata and streams of TikTok lives that are already public. The app does not access private accounts or private data.

How information is used

• Solely to upload recordings to, and check their status on, the operator's own YouTube channel, and to notify the operator through their own Telegram/WhatsApp.
• OAuth tokens are stored locally on the operator's own computer and are used only to call the YouTube Data API on the operator's behalf.

Sharing

The app does not sell data and does not share any Google user data with third parties. Data is not transferred to anyone other than the Google APIs required to perform the upload the operator requested.

Google API Services — Limited Use

Shtinker's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Retention and deletion

OAuth tokens live only on the operator's machine and can be revoked at any time at Google Account → Third-party access. The operator can delete local tokens and recordings at any time.

Contact

For questions about this policy, contact the app operator through the support email shown on the application's Google OAuth consent screen when you grant access.
