Paradise Curators (curators.paradisemusic.io) is a private internal tool run by Paradise Music Group. It shows the owner and a small number of staff how the YouTube channels in our network are doing. It is not a public service and has no public sign-up.
What the app reads
With the permission of the channel owner, the app reads data from YouTube for channels that Paradise Music Group owns or manages. It uses only these read-only Google permissions:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly: channel details, uploads and video details such as titles, publish dates and durations.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics.readonly: channel and video analytics such as views, watch time, subscribers, audience and traffic, and click-through rate.https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics-monetary.readonly: estimated revenue figures for those channels.
The app cannot change, upload, delete or publish anything on YouTube. It never reads personal data about individual viewers; YouTube Analytics gives only totals and groups.
Music clearances
To keep track of permission to use licensed tracks, the app holds clearance records from the District portal: the track, the credited artists, the decision, and the name and email of the label contact who authorized it. It holds no personal data about the artists themselves.
Why
To produce internal analytics for the channel owner and staff so we can decide what to publish and how to present it. Revenue figures are visible only to the owner. Until staff permissions are fully tested, the analytics pages are visible only to the owner as well.
Where it is stored
Figures are stored in our database on Supabase. Raw report files and nightly backups of our database are archived to a private Google Drive folder in the Paradise Music shared drive, saved with the consent of the administrator's Google account. Once a month, channel totals (views, watch time, subscribers and estimated revenue) are also written into the administrator's own private Google Sheet. Private Cloudflare R2 storage holds videos only. None of these is public. Access tokens that let the app read a channel are stored encrypted and are never shown in the browser. Staff sign in with their Paradise Music Google account (we receive only the verified email address); sign-in attempts are rate limited and we keep a log of who changed who can see what, and an operations log of staff actions (which staff email did what, and any error text). We also keep Studio preferences such as favourite clips, per staff member (their user id and the clip id), and Studio review data: comments and timing edits by staff and, for each approved video, the machine's own lyric timing, how much staff changed it (counted per staff email) and an estimate of the minutes spent editing.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent this data.
- We do not share it with third parties, other than the infrastructure providers named above that store it for us.
- We do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to build profiles for advertising or to train general-purpose AI models.
- People read it only to run and improve our own channels.
Google API Services User Data Policy
The use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app by Paradise Curators will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Retention and deletion
We keep daily figures for recent videos and roll older figures into monthly totals; channel totals are kept for as long as we run the channel. Backups are kept for 14 days. If you want data deleted, or a channel disconnected and its stored data removed, email us and we will do it and confirm back.
How to revoke access
You can remove the app's access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. After that the app can no longer read your channel, and on request we delete the stored tokens and data.
