Legal
Privacy Policy & Terms
This policy explains how Kernel Panic Media ("we", "us") handles data on this website and in Kernel Panic Media Studio, the private app we use to publish our films on our own YouTube channel.
1. This website
This website does not use cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking of any kind, and it does not ask you for any personal data. Our hosting provider may keep standard technical server logs (such as IP address and time of request) for security and operations, under its own privacy policy.
2. Kernel Panic Media Studio and YouTube API Services
What it is
Kernel Panic Media Studio is our own publishing app. It uploads films we have finished and approved to our YouTube channel, checks that they were stored correctly, and reads our channel statistics so we can understand which stories viewers enjoy.
Who uses it
The app has a single user: the owner of our YouTube channel, who authorizes it on his own Google account. It is not distributed, has no public sign-in and never asks anyone else to grant access.
What data it accesses
- Our own channel and videos: channel identity, the list of our recent uploads, and the details of videos we upload (title, description, tags, category, duration, privacy status), to upload approved films and check that YouTube stored them correctly.
- Our own channel statistics (YouTube Analytics, read-only): views, watch time, average view duration, likes, subscribers gained and traffic sources, to learn which films viewers enjoy.
- Public information: public search results and public statistics of videos and channels, in small samples, to see whether a topic is already widely covered.
The app does not access private data of other YouTube users, does not post or moderate comments, and does not delete videos.
Where data is stored and for how long
Data is stored only on the channel owner's own computer. Access credentials are kept in the operating system's secure keychain. Statistics of our own channel are kept as long as they are useful to evaluate our films. Public data collected for topic research is deleted after 30 days.
Sharing
We do not sell, rent or share data obtained through YouTube API Services with anyone, and we do not use it for advertising.
Revoking access and deleting data
The authorizing account can revoke the app's access at any time from Google Account › Third-party access. To ask for deletion of any stored data, write to kernelpanicmedia@gmail.com; we delete it within 30 days.
3. Contacting us
If you write to us by email, we use your address and message only to reply, and we delete the conversation when it is no longer needed. You can ask us at any time to access, correct or delete data about you.
4. Terms of use
The films and texts published by Kernel Panic Media are our original works and are protected by copyright; you may share links to them freely. Our films are made with the help of AI and are labeled as such. They retell myths, legends and historical events for entertainment and education, and they are based on cited sources, but they may simplify or interpret them. This website is provided "as is", without warranties.
5. Changes
If we change this policy, we will update this page and its date.
