Mission Core

Yes — because Mission Core already reads **Facebook and Instagram organic analytics as well as YouTube**, I’d mention them. It makes the page accurately describe the system rather than looking like Mission Core exists only for YouTube.

The important thing is to keep the integrations separate: Google OAuth gives access only to YouTube; Meta access is authorised separately through Meta.

I’d change the page to this:

# Mission Core

**Mission Core** is a private analytics and artist-management system used by independent musician **Riki Buckingham**.

It brings together performance information from Riki Buckingham’s music, website, social media and other artist platforms so that content and audience activity can be understood in one place.

## Platform integrations

Mission Core connects to Riki Buckingham’s own accounts on platforms including:

– YouTube
– Instagram
– Facebook

Each platform connection is authorised separately using that platform’s official authentication and API systems.

## YouTube

Mission Core connects to Riki Buckingham’s YouTube channel using Google OAuth.

The connection uses **read-only access** to:

– identify the authorised YouTube channel;
– read channel and video information;
– read YouTube Analytics data;
– analyse views, watch time, audience engagement and content performance;
– compare video performance over time.

Mission Core does **not** use this connection to publish, edit or delete YouTube videos, comments or channel settings.

## Facebook and Instagram

Mission Core connects separately to Riki Buckingham’s Facebook Page and Instagram professional account through Meta’s APIs.

These connections are used to read information such as:

– published content;
– views and reach;
– reactions and interactions;
– comments;
– shares and saves;
– video and Reel performance;
– watch-time and engagement metrics where available.

Mission Core’s current Meta analytics integration does not automatically publish posts or send direct messages.

## How the data is used

Platform data accessed by Mission Core is used for Riki Buckingham’s own artist management, analytics and content planning.

This information may be combined with first-party website, mailing-list and sales analytics to better understand how music and content reach listeners and which content is most useful or engaging.

Mission Core does not sell platform user data or use it for third-party advertising.

## Access and security

Access to connected platform data is limited to permissions explicitly authorised by the relevant account owner.

OAuth credentials, access tokens and other private authentication information are not published on this website.

Access to connected services can be revoked through the relevant Google, Meta or other platform account settings.

## Privacy

For more information about how data is handled, please see the **Privacy Policy**:

**https://rikibuckingham.earth/privacy-policy/**

## Contact

For questions about Mission Core or its use of platform data:

**Riki Buckingham**
**[email protected]**

That version is better because it describes **what Mission Core actually is becoming**, while still giving Google a very clear YouTube-specific section.

After publishing this, the privacy policy should also mention **Google/YouTube API data and Meta/Facebook/Instagram API data** rather than only YouTube.
