Privacy policy
Effective 11 November 2026
Studio by Kreatör is a Mac app that helps you edit your videos and upload them to YouTube. This page explains what data Studio uses, why, where it is kept and how to remove it.
In short. Studio runs on your Mac. Your videos are kept on your Mac and in your own iCloud, and the tokens for your accounts are stored only on your Mac. We have no server that stores your data, we do not sell data and we show no ads.
Who is responsible
Studio is made by Kreatör, which is run by Good Times AB in Sweden. Good Times AB is the data controller. If you have questions about your data, email vlad@kreator.nu.
Your YouTube account (Google user data)
When you connect YouTube, you sign in with Google in your web browser. Studio never sees your password. Studio asks for two permissions:
- Manage your YouTube videos (
youtube.upload): to upload the video you choose and set the thumbnail you chose on that video. - View your YouTube account (
youtube.readonly): only to read your channel name, so you can see which channel is connected.
What Studio reads and writes
- Your channel name, shown in Studio's settings.
- The video you upload, with the title and thumbnail you chose and the description you can see and edit in Studio. Studio adds chapters and your links to the description. The video is uploaded as private, marked as not made for kids, in Swedish in the People & Blogs category, and your subscribers are not notified. Making it public is a separate decision you make on YouTube.
Studio does not read your other videos, playlists, comments, subscribers or analytics, and does not change anything else on your channel.
How the data is used
Only to do what you ask: show which channel is connected, and upload the video you choose, with its thumbnail, when you press the button and confirm with Touch ID or your Mac password. Nothing is uploaded automatically.
Where the data is stored
The access token from Google and your channel name are stored in the folder ~/.config/vlogg-youtube in your user folder on your Mac. The token is only sent to Google, when Studio uploads or reads your channel name. Studio fetches your channel name again from YouTube at least every 30 days and deletes it if access is no longer valid. After an upload, Studio saves the video's YouTube link in the video's project folder (in your iCloud) so you can see that it is done. None of this is sent to Kreatör, to Good Times AB or to anyone else. The video goes directly from your Mac to YouTube.
Sharing
We do not share, sell or transfer data from your Google account to anyone. It is not used for advertising, not sent to AI services and not used to train AI models.
Removing access
In Studio, go to Inställningar › Konton & kanaler (Settings › Accounts & channels; the app is in Swedish) and click Logga ut (Sign out) next to YouTube. Studio then revokes its access with Google and deletes the token and channel name from your Mac. You can also remove Studio's access at any time on Google's third-party access page. The token then stops working at once, and the file is deleted when you sign out in Studio. We hold no data from your Google account, but if you have questions, email vlad@kreator.nu.
YouTube and Google
Studio uses YouTube API Services. By using Studio, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. How Google handles data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
Studio's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Other accounts you can connect
You can also connect TikTok (you sign in with TikTok in your browser) and Instagram (you paste an access token from Meta's developer site). The tokens are stored only on your Mac, and Studio only reads the account name. Studio does not upload anything to TikTok or Instagram today. If that is added, the same rule as for YouTube will apply: only with your button and Touch ID. You disconnect an account in Studio and in the service's own settings.
Your own footage and AI services
Speech in your footage is turned into text on your Mac (Whisper runs locally). To edit and to suggest titles and thumbnails, Studio sends parts of your material to the AI services you have connected, Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (Codex): the transcript, still frames from your footage (including faces that appear and the photos you chose under Mitt ansikte) and your comments. If you add a Google (Gemini) key, it is stored only on your Mac, and Studio does not currently send anything to Gemini. This happens for jobs you start or have switched on, such as automatic editing when you insert your camera card. Those services process the material under their own terms and your settings with them. We do not use your footage to train AI models. Data from your YouTube account is never sent to these services.
Studio also fetches public material when you ask for it, such as memes from GIPHY and Imgflip, a video from a link you paste, or a model from Hugging Face. Only the search term or the link is sent.
This website
The website studio.kreator.nu uses no cookies, tracking or analytics. If you switch language, your choice is saved in your browser. The site is hosted by Vercel, which keeps technical logs (such as IP addresses) for a short time to run the site securely.
How long
Tokens and your channel name stay on your Mac until you sign out in Studio, and the channel name is refreshed at least every 30 days. If you remove the app without signing out, the files stay in your user folder, so sign out first. If you email us, we keep the email as long as needed to reply.
Your rights
You have the right to know what data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to withdraw consent. Write to vlad@kreator.nu and we will reply within one month. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
Children
Studio is not intended for children. You must be at least 18 years old to use Studio.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
