Application overview
KidsOutAndAbout.com helps parents and caregivers discover local events, educational programs, arts, recreation, and community activities in 52 markets across the United States and Canada. Our regional videos extend that editorial coverage to YouTube.
KOAA Community Broadcast Video Publisher uses YouTube API Services to upload approved videos to our own KidsOutAndAbout channel, attach English captions and custom thumbnails, organize videos into regional playlists, and verify completion. Authorized operators select the publishing package and visibility settings. Uploading a private video and making it public are separate actions.
The application runs on authorized company computers. It is not a public web application, does not offer outside-user registration, and is not sold or licensed as a publishing service. Visiting this page does not grant access to the application or request access to a visitor's Google account.

Privacy policy
Effective date: November 8, 2026
This policy applies specifically to KOAA Community Broadcast Video Publisher. The KidsOutAndAbout.com website privacy policy separately describes our website's practices.
Authorization and information used
An authorized operator connects the application to our channel through Google's OAuth authorization process. Google handles account sign-in. The application does not request or store Google account passwords.
The application accesses and processes information needed to publish and manage our approved videos, including:
- Channel identifiers and titles used to confirm the publishing destination.
- Playlist identifiers, titles, ownership information, and membership records used to place videos correctly.
- Video identifiers, titles, descriptions, visibility and processing status, publishing declarations, and caption and thumbnail information.
- Approved local video files, caption files, thumbnail images, and publishing metadata submitted to YouTube.
- OAuth tokens and operational records needed to authorize requests, track completion, diagnose errors, and prevent duplicate uploads.
We use this information for our own publishing operations and their support. The uploader is not designed to collect viewers' browsing histories, viewing histories, or advertising profiles.
Storage, access, and sharing
Authorization tokens are stored in the designated local application directory outside the shared OneDrive project folder. Publishing files and progress records are stored in company project folders, which may be synchronized through Microsoft OneDrive. API requests transmit the relevant files and information to Google and YouTube.
Access is limited to authorized operators and service providers or agents expressly authorized to support the publishing workflow. These may include cloud file storage and coding-assistance services when we authorize their access to project materials. We do not sell YouTube API data or use it to build advertising profiles.
The desktop uploader does not serve advertisements or use browser tracking cookies. This public article is hosted on KidsOutAndAbout.com and remains subject to the website's separate privacy practices. Following links to Google or YouTube takes visitors to services governed by those providers' policies.
Retention and deletion
Our retention policy is to keep OAuth tokens only while needed for authorized operation. Stored API-derived metadata must be refreshed or deleted within 30 calendar days, subject to any applicable exceptions in YouTube's policies. Our original production files are maintained separately from information retrieved through the API.
Authorized users may request deletion of application-stored account information by contacting us below. We will delete the applicable API data and authorization tokens as soon as possible and within seven calendar days of a deletion request or a revocation request made directly to us. Removal includes applicable copies in synchronized project storage.
Deleting application-stored data does not delete videos, captions, playlists, or other content already stored on YouTube. Those resources must be managed separately through YouTube Studio or an expressly authorized management action.
Revoking access
Authorized users can revoke the application's access through Google's account permissions page. Revocation prevents further authorized access. We will remove associated stored API data and tokens as soon as possible and no later than 30 calendar days after revocation through Google. A direct deletion request to us is handled within the seven-day period above.
Google and YouTube policies
This application uses YouTube API Services. Google's handling of information is described in the Google Privacy Policy. Use of YouTube is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service.
Terms of use
KOAA Community Broadcast Video Publisher is intended solely for operators authorized by Kids Out And About, LLC to manage company-approved content. By using the application, operators agree to this privacy policy and to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.
Operators must have permission to use the connected channel and the materials they upload. They retain control over the approved content, publishing destination, and visibility settings. Publication or other changes to YouTube content require their authorization.
The application is independently operated by Kids Out And About, LLC and is not sponsored or endorsed by Google or YouTube. Access may be restricted or discontinued by the company. Material changes to the application's data practices will be reflected on this page and communicated to authorized operators before the changed practices are used.
