Privacy Policy
Last updated 3 September 2026
The short version
The Between Subjects publishing tool collects no personal data from anyone. It is
used by its operator to publish Between Subjects videos to Between Subjects’ own
accounts, and it touches no other person’s data.
Data we collect from TikTok users
None. The tool has no public interface, no user accounts and no sign-in for anyone
other than its operator. It does not read, collect, store or process the personal
data, profile information, videos or activity of any other TikTok user.
What the tool accesses on our own account
Authorised against the operator’s own TikTok account only, using these permissions:
- user.info.basic — confirms which account the tool is connected to.
- video.upload and video.publish — uploads our own
finished videos.
- video.list — reads back public performance figures for our own
posts, such as view and like counts.
What is stored, and where
An OAuth access token and refresh token for our own account are stored locally, on
the operator’s own machine, in a configuration file that is not published or shared.
Video files, captions and the performance figures for our own posts are stored in a
local database on that same machine.
Nothing is stored on a public server, and there is no hosted database of any kind.
Sharing
No data is sold, shared, or passed to third parties. Content is sent only to the
platform it is being published to.
Third-party services
Producing a video involves sending our own scripts and prompts — text we wrote
ourselves — to the model providers used to generate narration and footage. No
personal data of any TikTok user is involved, because none is held.
Retention
Local files and tokens are kept for as long as the tool is in use, and may be
deleted at any time by the operator. Revoking the app’s access in TikTok settings
immediately ends its ability to act on the account.
Children
The tool is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.
Changes
This policy may be updated. The date above records the current version.
