Loom Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 November 2026

Loom is a private, self-hosted video production tool operated by a single independent creator. It uses YouTube API Services to upload videos to, and read statistics from, the creator's own YouTube channels. By using Loom you are also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

What Loom accesses

When the channel owner connects a YouTube channel, Loom requests permission to:

• upload videos and set their title, description, tags, thumbnail and privacy status;
• upload captions for those videos;
• read the channel's basic information and the statistics of videos Loom published.

How the data is used and stored

• The data is used only to publish the creator's own videos and to report how they perform.
• OAuth tokens are stored encrypted on the creator's own computer. They are never sent to any server other than Google's.
• Loom does not sell, share or transfer any Google user data to third parties, and does not use it for advertising.
• Loom's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Retention and deletion

Stored tokens and statistics are kept until the channel is disconnected in Loom, which deletes the stored credentials. Access can also be revoked at any time from Google Account permissions.
