YouTube API Services

Central State Jobs uses YouTube API Services to publish its own short job-notification videos (YouTube Shorts) to its own YouTube channel, youtube.com/@centralstatejobs_in. When you watch or interact with our videos on YouTube, Google's own policies apply: the Google Privacy Policy and the YouTube Terms of Service.

What we access: only our own channel, through an authorisation granted by the channel owner, with permission to upload videos and to read the status and list of our own uploads. We do not use YouTube API Services to access, collect, store or share any information about visitors to this website or viewers of our videos.
What we store: the IDs, links and publishing status of the videos we upload, so that we can keep track of our own posts. We obtain no personal information about YouTube users.
How it is protected: the authorisation is held on our own server by a separate restricted service. It is never displayed, shared with third parties or used for anything other than publishing our own videos.
Cookies and your device: our use of YouTube API Services does not place, access or read cookies or any other information on your device.
Revoking access and deletion: the channel owner can revoke this authorisation at any time from the Google security settings page. Once it is revoked we stop uploading and delete the stored authorisation. Stored video IDs and links are deleted within 30 days of a request made through our contact page.

Questions about our use of YouTube API Services can be sent through our contact page.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit, secure servers, regular security assessments, and storing passwords as one-way hashes rather than in any recoverable form. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to delete your account, please contact us. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access and receive a copy of your personal data
Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
Request deletion of your personal data
Opt-out of marketing communications
Withdraw consent for data processing
