Google access disclosure

How AstruSocial uses Google Sign-In

AstruSocial uses Google Sign-In only to let users create or access a AstruSocial account. Normal sign-in does not request YouTube permissions and does not publish, edit, delete, or manage YouTube content.

Current Google scopes: openid, profile, and email. These are used for authentication, account creation, and account recovery support.
What we receive

Basic identity information

  • Your Google account identifier
  • Your email address
  • Your basic profile name, when provided by Google
What we do not request at login

No YouTube management access

  • No YouTube upload or publishing scope
  • No YouTube delete or edit permission
  • No background channel management permission

Google API data commitments

AstruSocial does not sell Google user data, does not use Google user data for advertising, and does not use Google API data to train generalized AI or machine-learning models. Human access is limited to support, security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or user-requested help.

Optional future integrations

Separate from sign-in

If AstruSocial later offers optional YouTube connection features, those permissions should be requested only from the connected-channel page after the user chooses to connect a channel, not during basic Google Sign-In.

This page is intended for users, Google OAuth reviewers, and compliance checks. It explains the Google data used by AstruSocial and the controls available to users.
