ChannelShare is a free utility that allows users to share selected YouTube channel subscriptions via a public link.

Information we collect

When you sign in with Google, we receive basic account information including your Google account identifier, email address, and display name. We also access your YouTube subscriptions in read-only mode.

We store:

  • Your Google account identifier
  • Your email address
  • Your display name
  • An access token and refresh token required to access the YouTube API
  • A list of YouTube channels you explicitly choose to share

We do not modify your YouTube account, subscriptions, or any Google data.

How we use this information

Your information is used only to:

  • Authenticate you
  • Retrieve your YouTube subscriptions
  • Allow you to select channels to share
  • Generate shareable links containing only the channels you selected

Nothing is shared publicly unless you explicitly choose to share it.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Shared links contain only public YouTube channel information.

ChannelShare uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

  • All data is transmitted over secure HTTPS connections
  • Access to stored data is restricted to service operation only
  • OAuth access and refresh tokens are stored securely

ChannelShare does not store Google passwords and cannot post, comment, or subscribe on your behalf.
