What the Japan in 60 App Does
Purpose of the app: Japan in 60 is an application that produces short travel videos about Japan's landmarks and publishes them to its own official Japan in 60 YouTube channel. The app is used only by the operator of this website and channel; it is not offered to, and does not act on behalf of, any other users.
The Japan in 60 app uses the YouTube Data API and YouTube Analytics API for the following purposes, on the operator's own channel only:
- Upload videos — publish newly produced 60-second landmark videos to the official Japan in 60 YouTube channel.
- Manage the channel's own content — set titles, descriptions, thumbnails, captions and playlists for the channel's own videos.
- Read the channel's analytics — read view counts and basic performance reports of the channel's own videos to plan future videos.
The app never accesses, modifies or collects data from any other user's YouTube account or Google account. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for details on how data is handled.
