Bakene Content Factory icon Bakene Content Factory Automated content publishing

Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data Bakene Content Factory (the "Service", at content.bakene.tech) accesses, how it is used, and what it does not do. The Service is a single-operator automation tool with no public user accounts — most of this policy exists to describe the limited data the Service handles through the TikTok and YouTube APIs on the operator's own behalf.

1. Summary

2. Data accessed via the TikTok API

The Service connects to TikTok using OAuth 2.0 and requests only the video.publish scope. This scope allows the Service to upload video content to the authorized TikTok account's inbox/drafts for the account holder to review and publish. It does not grant access to private messages, contacts, browsing activity, or any other TikTok user's data. The resulting access and refresh tokens are stored on the operator's private server, are never transmitted to or shared with any third party, and are used solely to authenticate upload requests.

3. Data accessed via the YouTube API

The Service connects to YouTube using OAuth 2.0 (Google) to upload videos and read basic public channel metrics (view counts, likes, comments, subscriber counts) for the operator's own YouTube channels, and to post text comments providing context on published videos. Tokens are stored and protected the same way as described in Section 2. The Service's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

4. What the Service does not collect

The Service does not collect, process, or store any personal data belonging to TikTok users, YouTube viewers, or any visitor to this website. There is no visitor tracking, no cookies, no analytics scripts, and no advertising of any kind on this website. The web server infrastructure may retain standard, short-lived technical access logs (such as IP address, requested page, and timestamp) purely for security and operational purposes (e.g. detecting abuse); these logs are not used for tracking or profiling, are never sold or shared, and are periodically purged.

5. Third-party content sources

The Service sources content from public, free APIs: Quranic text and translations from alquran.cloud, recitation audio from cdn.islamic.network, and background footage from Pexels. These integrations exchange only content-retrieval requests — no personal or visitor data is sent to them.

6. AI-assisted content generation

Some video scripts (for the stories and humor formats) are drafted with the help of third-party AI text-generation providers. Only content-topic prompts are sent to these providers — never personal data about any visitor, viewer, or TikTok/YouTube user.

7. Data retention

OAuth tokens described in Sections 2 and 3 are retained until they are revoked (see Section 8) or until the operator rotates them. Because the Service collects no personal data from visitors or end users, there is no visitor data retention period to disclose.

8. Revoking access

The TikTok account holder can revoke the Service's access at any time from TikTok's app settings ("Manage apps and devices" in the TikTok app). The YouTube/Google account holder can revoke access from Google Account → Security → Third-party apps with account access. Revoking access immediately invalidates the corresponding token and stops all further API activity for that account.

9. Children's privacy

This Service and website are not directed at children, and the Service does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction) — consistent with there being no public data collection at all.

10. Data security

Access tokens and API credentials are stored on infrastructure the operator controls directly and are never made publicly accessible. The administrative dashboard used to manage the Service is protected by authentication.

11. Compliance

This Policy is intended to comply with the requirements TikTok places on developers under the TikTok Developer Terms of Service and with the Google API Services User Data Policy referenced in Section 3.

12. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The "Effective date" above reflects the most recent revision.
