1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy outlines how the Music Video Pipeline Manager application (“we”, “our”, or “the Application”) accesses, uses, stores, and protects your information when interacting with the TikTok Content Posting API / Direct Post API and other third-party services.
The Application is a private, internal desktop workflow automation tool designed specifically for content creators to produce, manage, and publish original music videos directly to their own authorized social media accounts.
2. Information We Collect and Access
When you authorize the Application with your TikTok account via OAuth 2.0, the Application accesses only the permissions explicitly granted by you:
- Account Identification (
user.info.basic): Basic account identifier (Open ID and Display Name) to verify the connected account. - Video Upload Permissions (
video.upload,video.publish): Authorization tokens required to initialize, upload, and publish video content directly to your TikTok account. - OAuth Credentials: Access tokens and refresh tokens generated during the secure TikTok OAuth 2.0 authorization flow.
The Application does not collect, store, or access:
- Your TikTok password.
- Private direct messages, personal chats, or contacts.
- Financial, billing, or payment information.
- Personal data of third-party users or followers.
3. How We Use Information
Any information accessed through the TikTok API is strictly used for the following operational purposes:
- Video Publishing: Uploading and scheduling your rendered video files and metadata (titles, captions, hashtags) to your authorized TikTok profile.
- Session Maintenance: Using secure refresh tokens to maintain active API connection without requiring frequent manual re-logins.
4. Data Storage and Security
- Local Storage Only: All API keys, client secrets, access tokens, refresh tokens, and video files are stored locally on your own computer in a secure local SQLite database.
- No External Servers: We do not operate external web servers, cloud databases, or telemetry trackers that collect or store your credentials.
- Direct Communication: All network requests are made directly between your local device and official TikTok endpoints (
https://open.tiktokapis.com/) over encrypted HTTPS (TLS).
5. Third-Party Sharing and Disclosure
- No Data Selling: We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade any user data or credentials.
- No Third-Party Analytics: We do not include third-party advertising SDKs, data brokers, or analytics tracking services in the Application.
- No Unauthorized Sharing: Your tokens and data are never shared with any entity other than the official TikTok API required to perform the video upload services you initiate.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
- Token Deletion: You can delete or clear your stored TikTok credentials and tokens at any time directly within the Application’s Settings menu.
- Revoking Access: You can revoke the Application’s access to your TikTok account at any time through the TikTok mobile app or web platform (Settings and privacy -> Security -> Manage app permissions). Revoking access immediately invalidates all active tokens.
7. Compliance with TikTok API Terms
The Application strictly adheres to the TikTok Developer Terms of Service and TikTok Privacy Policy.
