Privacy Policy
Todij Video Navigator Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 8, 2026
Todij Video Navigator is an Android app provided by TODIJ AI Technology Ltd. This policy explains specifically how the app accesses, uses, stores, protects, shares, retains, and deletes Google user data. Use of the app is also covered by the Todij Video Navigator Terms of Service.
Google authorization and scope
The app requests the Google OAuth scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly only after the user chooses Connect YouTube and approves access. This permission allows read-only access to the connected user's YouTube account data. The current release does not request permission to create, edit, upload, delete, like, subscribe, unsubscribe, or otherwise modify YouTube account data.
Google user data accessed
Depending on the features the user chooses to load and the data available in the connected YouTube account, the app accesses:
- An OAuth access token issued through Google Play services and the app's local connected/not-connected authorization state.
- The user's YouTube playlists available to the authorized account, including playlist identifiers, titles, descriptions, item counts, and playlist-item relationships.
- The user's videos marked with a like, including video identifiers and associated metadata.
- The user's YouTube subscriptions and the related channel upload-playlist identifiers used to load recent uploads.
- YouTube video and channel metadata returned by the YouTube Data API, such as titles, channel names, thumbnail URLs, publication dates, durations, view counts, like counts, and source relationships where available.
The app does not request the user's Google password and does not request Google profile, email, contacts, files, calendar, or location scopes.
How Google user data is used
The app uses the data only to provide user-facing features requested by the connected user:
- Load and display the user's YouTube playlists, liked videos, subscriptions, and subscribed-channel uploads.
- Let the user select sources and browse, search, filter, and sort loaded YouTube metadata.
- Open a user-selected video in YouTube or an available YouTube playback experience.
- Cache limited metadata on the device so repeat browsing and local search are faster and use fewer API requests.
- Restore the local connection state and make authorized read-only YouTube API requests while the user's authorization remains valid.
Google user data is not used for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, surveillance, or training general-purpose artificial intelligence or machine-learning models. TODIJ AI Technology Ltd does not sell Google user data.
Data sharing and transfers
TODIJ AI Technology Ltd does not receive the user's YouTube library data on a company-operated backend and does not share or transfer that data to advertisers, data brokers, analytics providers, or other independent third parties.
Google user data is handled by the following service categories only as necessary to provide the app:
- Google Play services: provides the Google authorization flow and local token-management services on the Android device.
- Google and YouTube API services: receive the OAuth token and API request parameters over HTTPS and return the requested YouTube data.
- YouTube: receives the normal request when the user chooses to open or play a YouTube video.
The app does not permit TODIJ staff or other users to view the connected user's authorized YouTube data. Disclosure may occur only if required by applicable law; because the current release has no developer backend for this data, TODIJ normally has no copy to disclose.
Data storage and protection
- YouTube metadata and app workflow state are stored only in the app's private local storage on the user's Android device. The current release does not upload this data to a TODIJ server.
- Authorization tokens are used for API requests, held in app memory while connected, and may be managed in the local Google Play services token cache. Tokens are not stored in the app's Room metadata database.
- Google and YouTube requests use HTTPS transport encryption.
- Local data is protected by Android's application sandbox and normal device access controls.
- The app disables Android backup and excludes its database and shared preferences from cloud backup and device-transfer backup.
- The current release includes no advertising SDK and no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK.
Data retention
Source lists and normally displayed cached results are treated as fresh for approximately 24 hours. Stored YouTube resource metadata has a hard local expiration of no more than 30 days unless refreshed from the YouTube Data API. Expired records are removed during app cache maintenance. Authorization tokens are retained only as necessary while the user remains connected and the authorization remains valid.
The user can remove local data sooner at any time using the controls described below. Uninstalling the app also removes its app-owned local data under normal Android behavior.
Deletion and revocation
- Clear cache: removes locally cached YouTube source and video metadata without changing data stored by YouTube.
- Delete local data: removes the app's local cache, loaded results, source selections, connection state, and local token cache associated with the current session.
- Disconnect YouTube: clears the same local authorization and cached app data so the app no longer has an active local connection.
- Revoke Google access: visit Google Account third-party connections and remove Todij Video Navigator. Revoking access at Google prevents future authorized access. The app removes locally stored authorized data when it detects invalid authorization, and the user can immediately remove it with Delete local data or by uninstalling the app.
These actions delete data stored by Todij Video Navigator; they do not delete playlists, likes, subscriptions, videos, or other information stored in the user's YouTube account.
Users may also request deletion help by emailing contact@todij.com with the subject "Todij Video Navigator Data Deletion Request." We will respond with deletion instructions and complete deletion of any Google user data in our possession as soon as possible and within 7 calendar days. In the current release, Google user data remains on the user's device rather than a TODIJ backend, so the in-app Delete local data control or app uninstall is the direct deletion method.
Limited use disclosure
Todij Video Navigator's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The app accesses Google user data only to provide or improve the prominent user-facing features described in this policy.
What the app does not do
- It does not request YouTube write access in the current Android release.
- It does not provide YouTube video downloading.
- It does not provide offline playback of YouTube videos.
- It does not rely on unofficial scraping of YouTube watch pages for the Android release path.
- It does not bypass YouTube features or restrictions.
- It does not operate a TODIJ backend that receives or stores user YouTube data in the current release.
- It does not use Google user data for ads, analytics, model training, or sale.
Third-party services
The app uses Google authorization, Google Play services, and YouTube API Services to provide the account-library features described above. Their handling of information is governed by their own policies and terms.

If the app changes how it accesses or uses Google user data, this policy will be updated before the new use begins and users will be asked for any consent required by Google policy or applicable law.
