Privacy policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

Black Wire Tales is a podcast and story site. This page explains what personal information the site and its related software handle. In short: very little, and nothing is sold or shared.

This website

The website is a static site. It has no accounts, no comments, no advertising and no tracking scripts of its own. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which, like any web host, may keep ordinary server logs (such as IP addresses) under GitHub's own privacy statement. Podcast apps and video sites that carry our episodes (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube) collect data under their own policies.

The upload tool and Google / YouTube access

The site's owner runs a private software tool, called "Black Wire Tales" in Google's consent screen, to prepare episodes and upload the owner's own videos to the owner's own YouTube channel. It is used only by its owner and is not offered to other people.

• What it accesses: through the YouTube Data API, with the owner's permission, it uploads videos, sets thumbnails, adds videos to the owner's playlist and adds captions. It uses the scopes youtube.upload and youtube.force-ssl.
• Where data is kept: the sign-in token is stored only on the owner's own computer. Nothing from the owner's Google account is sent to any other server, sold, shared or used for advertising.
• Use of Google user data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
• Revoking access: the owner can remove the tool's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
