RecoverMy.Video is a so called YouTube API client, which means that it's using YouTube API Services. By accessing and using RecoverMy.Video you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
According to the YouTube API Services - Developer Policies we inform you about the information RecoverMy.Video accesses, collects and stores in its database.
By using the RecoverMy.Video channel manager you will be able to grant RecoverMy.Video " read only" access to your YouTube channel(s). After giving your permission RecoverMy.Video will collect and store following information:
Your YouTube data (see above) gets fetched and stored/refreshed in RecoverMy.Video's database. This happens periodically by an automated update script.
If any video got deleted or set to private on YouTube, which you've added to your playlists before, RecoverMy.Video will be able to identify this video by matching your current YouTube playlist videos with the ones stored in RecoverMy.Video's database.
The titles of those deleted or private YouTube videos will be displayed to you after logging in to RecoverMy.Video's user backend.
In order to serve RecoverMy.Video's service to all users, there's a limit of 20.000 videos (november 2020) which can be updated per channel. This limit might be adjusted if needed without any further notice to guarantee a stable service to all users.
RecoverMy.Video requires its users to create an user account by submitting a registration form or by using Google One Tap.
The registration form asks you to enter your email address and a password. To verify your email address you'll receive a confirmation email after you've submitted the registration form. The user account will be completed as soon as the confirmation link in the confirmation email gets clicked.
If you want to use your Google account to create an account, RecoverMy.Video offers a Google One Tap sign-up. By using Google One Tap RecoverMy.Video will use following authentication scopes in order to access the corresponding user information of your Google account.

The Google user id is needed to identify your user account on sign-in. The profile picture is used on your RecoverMy.Video profile page in order to show you that you've created your account by using your Google account.
The email address is a mandatory RecoverMy.Video account credential. If email notifications are enabled, you'll be able to receive notifications about recovered video titles.
