Privacy Policy: Channel Analytics

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Channel Analytics is a private tool used by The Adam Redeemed Podcast to read the performance of its own YouTube channel, Instagram account, Facebook Page, Threads profile and X account. It is not offered to the public, and it is used only by the account owner.

What it accesses

When the owner signs in and allows access, Channel Analytics reads, read-only:

YouTube: the channel's uploaded videos (titles, descriptions, durations, publish dates); the channel's own analytics for them (views, watch time, average percentage viewed, likes, comments, shares, subscribers gained, audience retention, traffic sources, search terms, viewer age, gender, country and device in aggregate, thumbnail impressions and click-through rate); and the public comments left on the channel's videos.
Instagram: the account's own posts, reels and stories with their insights (views, reach, likes, comments, shares, saves, watch time, skip rate, follows, profile visits), account-level insights and follower demographics in aggregate, and the comments left on the account's posts.
Facebook: the Page's own posts and reels with their counts and insights (views, reach, plays, average watch time, reactions, comments, shares, clicks), Page-level insights and followers, and the comments left on the Page's posts.
Threads: the profile's own posts with their insights (views, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, shares), profile-level insights and followers, and the replies to the profile's posts.
X: the account's own posts from the last 30 days with their metrics (impressions, likes, replies, reposts, quotes, bookmarks, link and profile clicks, video views and completion), the follower count, and the replies to the account's recent posts.

Comments include the commenter's public display name or username and the comment text. On YouTube the permissions requested are the read-only youtube.readonly and yt-analytics.readonly, plus a key that can only read public YouTube data. On Instagram they are instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_manage_insights and instagram_business_manage_comments. On Facebook they are pages_show_list, pages_read_engagement, read_insights and pages_read_user_content; on Threads threads_basic, threads_manage_insights and threads_read_replies; on X the read-only scopes tweet.read, users.read and offline.access. Channel Analytics never uploads, posts, replies, likes, hides, deletes or changes anything on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X or any account.

How the data is used

The data is used only to show the owner how their own content is performing (a dashboard, a weekly review and alerts) and to sort comments so the owner can read and answer them personally, for example questions to answer in a future video and prayer requests. It is not used for advertising, not sold, not used to contact anyone, and not shared with anyone.

Where the data is stored

The data is kept on the owner's own computer and in a private GitHub repository that only the owner can access. It is processed by the owner's AI assistant (Claude, by Anthropic) to prepare the owner's reports, plans and drafts. Sign-in credentials are kept in the computer's secure keychain or in the encrypted secret settings of the owner's own cloud workspace, never in the repository. Apart from these and Google's, Meta's and X's own APIs, the data is not sent anywhere, and it is not used to train AI models.

Google API Services User Data Policy

Channel Analytics' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Removing access and deleting data

Google access can be removed at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions (choose Channel Analytics, then remove access). Instagram access can be removed in the Instagram app under Settings, Website permissions, Apps and websites (remove Channel Analytics). Facebook and Threads access can be removed in Facebook's Settings, Business integrations, and in Threads' Settings, Account, Website permissions. X access can be removed at x.com under Settings, Security and account access, Apps and sessions, Connected apps. Deleting the data files (on the computer and in the private repository) and the stored credentials removes everything Channel Analytics stored.

If you commented on The Adam Redeemed Podcast's videos or posts and want your comment removed from these records, email adamredeemedpod@gmail.com and it will be deleted within 30 days. Deleting your comment on any of these platforms also stops it being read again.
