Authentication tokens

When you connect third-party services such as Google/YouTube or Spotify, Information Hub securely stores OAuth tokens so it can access those services on your behalf. Tokens are used only for the features you authorize.

What YouTube data is accessed

With your authorization, Information Hub requests read-only access through the youtube.readonly scope to access:

• your liked and saved YouTube videos, and

User data is stored in MongoDB databases and protected with HTTPS transmission, secure session management, and encryption for sensitive authentication tokens and API keys. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.

Third-party services

Information Hub integrates with Google/YouTube, Spotify, and Vercel Analytics. These services have their own privacy policies.
