Who operates this app

clip-pipeline is a personal tool operated by Valentine (MsValentineTV) for use with Valentine's own accounts only. It has no other users.

What the app accesses

• YouTube (YouTube API Services): permission to upload videos to the signed-in channel, and read-only access to confirm which channel was authorized. The app does not read, change, or delete existing videos, comments, playlists, or subscribers.
• Google Drive: read-only access to one folder that Valentine shares with the app, containing her own recordings.

How data is used

Recordings are downloaded to a temporary server, transcribed, and used to create short clips when the recording has usable moments. An AI model (Anthropic Claude) receives the transcript, with simple markers where the audio gets much louder or the speech gets much faster (measured on the temporary server), to suggest up to three candidate clips and write titles and descriptions. Valentine picks one candidate or rejects them all, and the rendered candidates she does not pick are deleted. The same model also reviews the transcript for personal information and sensitive content. Its findings, including short excerpts, are shown only in Valentine's private review channel and are deleted when the clip is posted or rejected. The full recording is uploaded automatically to Valentine's YouTube channel as an unlisted video, unless the review finds a serious issue; then it is uploaded only if Valentine decides to. The clip is uploaded as a public YouTube Short and posted to her Bluesky account only after Valentine reviews and approves it. Uploads are marked as not made for kids.

Storage and retention

• The YouTube authorization (refresh token) is stored encrypted in Amazon Web Services and used only to upload to the authorized channel.
• Recordings, audio, and transcripts are deleted from the temporary server after each job, and the server is destroyed.
• Rendered clips are deleted after rejection, and within 30 days in any case.
• Clip records (titles, descriptions, and YouTube video IDs) are deleted automatically within 30 days.
• Clip selection log: to improve how clips are chosen, the app keeps a short transcript excerpt of each candidate clip (at most 1,500 characters), with the recording's file name, the game, the clip's time range, its title, the AI's reason for suggesting it, the post text it wrote, the AI model used, and Valentine's pick, approve, or reject decision. An excerpt is left out when the content review flagged something in that part of the recording. This log contains no YouTube data, is not shared, and is kept until Valentine deletes it or deletion is requested.
• Favorites: Valentine can mark clips that worked well. For each favorite the app keeps the clip's title, game, length, the AI's reason, the post text, a short transcript excerpt (at most 1,500 characters, when available), and her optional note (at most 300 characters). The most recent favorites are shown to the AI model as examples to improve clip selection (her notes are not sent). Favorites contain no YouTube data, are not shared, and are kept until Valentine removes them or deletion is requested.

Sharing

Data is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose other than publishing Valentine's own content. The use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

YouTube

This app uses YouTube API Services. See the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Data deletion

When access is revoked (see below), the stored YouTube authorization immediately stops working, and the owner deletes it and any related YouTube data from the app's storage within 7 days. Recordings and full transcripts are never kept after processing. To request deletion of any remaining data (for example, clip records kept for up to 30 days, the transcript excerpts and decisions in the clip selection log, or favorites and their notes), email the contact address below and it will be deleted within 7 days. Videos already published to YouTube or Bluesky can be deleted directly on those platforms.
