3. TWT Make — Private YouTube Publishing Tool
TWT Make is an internal automation tool used by Traveller With Tales to manage and publish our own travel video content to our YouTube channel.
The tool is not offered as a public service and is not intended for use by other YouTube account holders.
3.1 Use of Google and YouTube APIs
TWT Make uses the YouTube Data API and associated Google authorization services to support our video publishing workflow.
When we authorize the tool through our Google Account, we grant it the permissions necessary to perform the approved publishing activities.
Depending on the permissions granted and the features enabled, these activities may include:
- Uploading our own travel videos to our YouTube channel.
- Setting or updating video titles and descriptions.
- Configuring video privacy settings.
- Performing other authorized actions necessary for our publishing workflow.
We use these permissions only for the intended operation of our own travel content publishing process.

TWT Make is designed to operate on our own authorized YouTube account and our own travel content.
We do not use the tool to collect personal information about YouTube viewers or unrelated YouTube users.

We do not share Google user data with third parties except where necessary to operate the authorized service, where you direct us to do so, or where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law.

3.3 Limited Use

3.5 Revoking Google Access
You can review or revoke the Google Account permissions granted to an application at any time through Google’s account permissions page:
