Common questions.

What YouTube OAuth scopes does SponsorsMetrics request?

Two read-only scopes: youtube.readonly (channel and video metadata) and yt-analytics.readonly (YouTube Analytics for sponsorship reports). No write or management scopes are ever requested.

Can SponsorsMetrics upload, edit, or delete my YouTube videos?

No. SponsorsMetrics only requests read-only scopes. It cannot upload, edit, delete, publish, change channel settings, or post comments on your channel.

Do sponsors ever get access to my YouTube account?

Never. Sponsors only receive the report link you choose to share. They do not receive OAuth tokens, dashboard access, or any access to your YouTube or Google account.

How do I revoke SponsorsMetrics access to my YouTube account?

Open Google Account permissions at myaccount.google.com/permissions and remove SponsorsMetrics, or disconnect a channel directly inside SponsorsMetrics.

How is my YouTube data stored and retained?

Campaign inputs, report snapshots, and OAuth token references are stored in the SponsorsMetrics database. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. Account deletion permanently removes personal data within 30 days, except records retained for legal obligations.

Revocation and contacts

You can revoke Google access at any time.
