Read-only YouTube Analytics
SponsorsMetrics requests analytics access so it can build campaign reports. It cannot upload, edit, delete, publish, or manage videos on your channel.
Security
Connect YouTube Analytics without giving sponsors access to your account.
SponsorsMetrics uses read-only Google OAuth to generate verified sponsor reports. Your sponsor receives a campaign report link, not access to your YouTube channel or private dashboard.

What happens when you connect YouTube.
The product needs analytics data to prove sponsor performance, but the access is intentionally narrow.
Sponsors never get account access
A sponsor only sees the public report link you share. They do not receive your OAuth tokens, dashboard access, private channel settings, or other campaign data.
Encrypted and revocable
OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. You can revoke Google access from your Google Account permissions at any time.
Limited report surface
Reports show campaign-level performance such as views, watch time, retention, demographics, countries, traffic sources, and sponsor-segment context.
Sponsor visibility
What your sponsor can and cannot see.
They can see the report page you send them.
They can see the campaign metrics included in that report.
They cannot see your YouTube account, revenue dashboard, unpublished videos, OAuth tokens, or other SponsorsMetrics campaigns.
Common security questions.
Can SponsorsMetrics upload, edit, delete, or publish YouTube videos?
No. SponsorsMetrics uses read-only YouTube Analytics access and cannot upload, edit, delete, or publish videos.
Can sponsors access my YouTube account?
No. Sponsors only see the report link you share. They do not receive your OAuth tokens, dashboard access, private channel settings, or other campaigns.
Can I revoke YouTube access later?
Yes. You can revoke access from your Google Account permissions at any time. Reports that already exist remain separate from your Google account access.
