Privacy

idenest is an independent YouTube subscription analysis tool. We are built around structure, not engagement.

Your privacy matters. We only access the minimum data required to analyze your subscription structure.

We only request read-only access to the list of YouTube channels you follow.

We do not access your watch history.
We do not access your likes or comments.
We do not modify or publish content on your behalf.
We do not post anything to your account.

Why we ask for YouTube access

idenest analyzes the long-term structure of your subscriptions to support channel discovery and organization.

To do this, we need read-only access to the list of channels you intentionally follow.

Subscriptions are treated as long-term interest signals. We do not analyze short-term engagement or activity.

Use of Google APIs

idenest uses the YouTube Data API in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy.

We request the following OAuth scope:

This scope provides read-only access to your YouTube subscription list. It is used solely to analyze your subscription structure and support channel discovery and organization.

Public Collections
