Privacy Policy – LICO Portal

Last updated: 5 November 2026

This policy explains how LICO Global ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects information in LICO Portal, our internal business portal, in particular the information we receive from Google APIs when a YouTube channel owner connects their channel.

1. Who we are

LICO Global licenses and distributes video content and manages YouTube channels together with content partners. Contact: thinhnhp@licoglobal.net, Company Address: No. 47 Nguyen Xien Street, Khuong Dinh Ward, Hanoi City, Vietnam.

2. Information we receive from Google

When a channel owner clicks "Connect YouTube" in LICO Portal and gives consent, we request these permissions:

  • Basic account information (openid, email): the email address of the Google account that gave consent, to record who authorised the connection.

  • Read-only access to YouTube (youtube.readonly): used only once after consent to read the ID and name of the authorised channel, so we can match it to the channel record in the portal.

  • Read-only access to YouTube Analytics monetary reports (yt-analytics-monetary.readonly): the channel's estimated revenue per day.

We store: the Google account email, the YouTube channel ID and name, the channel's daily estimated revenue, and an authorisation (refresh) token that lets us read the revenue report automatically. We do not access videos, comments, subscribers' personal data, or any other Google data.

3. How we use it

  • To prepare internal revenue reports for the channel.

  • To calculate, reconcile and pay the revenue share agreed with the partner.

  • To show the connection status of the channel to authorised LICO Global staff.

We do not use the data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to build profiles of individuals. We never write to the YouTube account: no uploads, edits, deletions, comments or setting changes.

4. Limited Use disclosure

LICO Portal's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

5. Sharing

We do not share information received from Google APIs with third parties. Inside LICO Global it is visible only to employees whose role requires it (for example accounting and channel managers). We may disclose information only where required by law.

6. Storage and security

  • Data is stored on servers operated by LICO Global and is accessible only over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

  • Authorisation tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and never leave our servers.

  • Backups are encrypted (AES-256) before they are copied to off-site storage.

  • Staff sign in with company Google Workspace accounts; access is limited by role and changes are recorded in an audit log.

7. Retention and deletion

  • The authorisation token is deleted as soon as the channel is disconnected in LICO Portal. If access is withdrawn from the Google Account, the token stops working and the automatic reading stops.

  • Daily revenue figures already received are kept as part of our accounting records for as long as required by our agreement with the partner and by law.

  • Encrypted backups are kept for up to 12 months and then deleted.
