Milo Radar privacy

Updated November 12, 2026. Milo Radar is a personal research workspace for the owner of Milo Gets Hired.

YouTube account access

Connecting Google grants read-only YouTube Analytics access. Radar checks access to the fixed Milo channel. This connection does not authorize uploading, editing or deleting YouTube videos, accessing Gmail, or reading Google Drive.

Data used

The private analytics workspace uses video-level views, engaged views, watch duration, average percentage viewed, engagement and subscriber metrics, alongside public video titles and duration. Reports can lag. The public dashboard does not return these private analytics reports.

Before each full daily research scan, Radar reads the public uploads of the fixed Milo channel through the YouTube Data API. Video IDs prevent duplicates. Exact saved-title and description matches link to Uploaded stories; uncertain matches remain metadata-only references for originality review. This does not upload or edit videos.

Storage and access

OAuth access and refresh credentials are encrypted in private server storage. Private application secrets stay in server settings. Analytics reports are stored separately from public research and are available only in Owner mode. Refreshing a report replaces its cached snapshot. Reports older than 29 days are removed when the analytics service next accesses them. Disconnect removes local analytics credentials, the cached report and its learning handoff record, after Google revocation succeeds or reports the token already invalid.

AI research

Only when the Owner enables the analytics learning preference, Radar may send public video titles and qualitative, provisional performance comparisons to its configured OpenAI writing model to help the owner develop new stories. The writing request does not receive OAuth credentials or raw private numeric analytics metrics. Performance comparisons are associations rather than evidence that a creative choice caused views. Existing story-history checks still apply. Public source-video analysis uses the separately configured Gemini service.

Your choices

The owner can refresh reports or disconnect YouTube in Milo Analytics. Google access can also be reviewed or revoked in Google Account connections. For changes to the workspace, contact its owner through the support details shown on the Google consent screen.

Google API data is used for the requested personal research features, not sold or used by Radar to train a general-purpose AI model. Use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
