Privacy policy
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Who this covers
garbage-cards is a private tool with a single operator. Its only users are the owners of the Garbage Republican and Garbage Democrat social media accounts. It is not offered to the public.
This policy covers what garbage-cards does with the platform API access its account owners grant it. Publishing is not part of that access: posts go out through each platform's own web interface, with the operator's approval.

What the app accesses
The platform connections are still being set up. When an account owner authorizes one, garbage-cards uses read-only access to that owner's own accounts on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X, and on TikTok through a planned sandbox connection. It reads post metadata (titles, captions, publish times, links) and the performance numbers each platform reports for those posts, such as views, likes, comments, shares and watch time.
Through that access it does not post, edit, delete, send messages, or read anyone else's private data.
How it is used and stored
The data is kept in a private database the operator controls. It is used only to understand how the operation's own posts performed. OAuth tokens are kept in the operator's password manager, never in the database. Nothing is sold, shared, or used for advertising.
YouTube and Google user data
garbage-cards uses YouTube API Services. Google's own handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
garbage-cards's use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Revoking access and deletion
You can revoke garbage-cards's access at any time in each platform's own account settings. For YouTube and other Google accounts, use Google's security settings at security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
To have stored data deleted, email the address below. It will be deleted within 7 calendar days of your request.
If access is revoked through garbage-cards itself, the data stored under that authorization is deleted within 7 calendar days. If it is revoked through Google's security settings instead, the data is deleted within 30 calendar days; garbage-cards checks periodically whether its authorization is still valid.
Deleting garbage-cards's copy does not affect any data stored by YouTube or by the other platforms.
