4. Why we process your data
- Contract performance: to provide video encoding, metadata handling, and YouTube upload features you request
- Legitimate interests: to secure our service, prevent abuse, improve reliability, and enforce our terms
- Legal obligations: where required by tax, accounting, or regulatory law

5. Third-party services
We use trusted third parties to operate Songs2YT, including:
- Google / YouTube: authentication and video uploads via Google OAuth and the YouTube Data API
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: servers, databases, queues, and storage

You may request deletion of your account data subject to legal retention obligations.
7. Self-hosted deployments
If you deploy Songs2YT on your own infrastructure, you are the data controller for data processed on your instance. This Privacy Policy applies to the hosted cloud service operated by us, not to independent self-hosted installations unless we provide managed hosting for you under contract.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and isolated processing environments. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
