Privacy Policy — Video Player & Reels Controls for Facebook™

Effective Date: October 24, 2026
Extension Name: Video Player & Reels Controls for Facebook™
Supported Browsers: Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox

1. Overview

Video Player & Reels Controls for Facebook™ (the "Extension") is a browser extension designed to improve the experience of watching Facebook videos, Watch content, and Reels.

We respect your privacy and aim to minimize data collection.

The Extension does not use developer-operated analytics, advertising trackers, or external servers to collect personal information. It does not sell or share your personal data with advertisers or data brokers.

Player preferences, optional watch history, and playback positions are stored locally in your browser.

The Extension communicates with Facebook and its media delivery services when necessary to retrieve and play videos.

1. Information Stored Locally

The Extension uses your browser's built-in extension storage APIs to save information needed for its functionality.

2.1 Player Preferences

The following settings may be stored locally:

Preferred video quality and playback speed

Volume and player preferences

Auto-open and autoplay settings

Player configuration and feature preferences

These settings remain in your browser's extension storage and are not uploaded to developer-operated servers.

2.2 Watch History and Playback Positions

If enabled, the Extension may save:

Previously watched Facebook video references and metadata

Playback progress and resume timestamps

Information needed to reopen recently watched videos

This information is stored locally in your browser.

You can disable optional history saving, clear your watch history, and remove saved playback positions using the Extension's settings.

2.3 Temporary Session Data

To improve playback performance, the Extension may temporarily cache:

Video stream URLs and metadata

Available playback quality information

Video and Reel navigation queues

Temporary information needed to resolve media streams

This information is used for playback and caching and is not intentionally transmitted to developer-operated servers.

Session data is generally cleared when the browser session ends, subject to browser behavior.

2.4 Private Browsing

The Extension is designed to avoid saving watch history and resume positions while operating in supported Incognito or Private Browsing sessions.

Other browser-level storage and privacy behavior may depend on the browser and its configuration.

1. Network Requests and Facebook Content

To provide video playback features, the Extension communicates with Facebook and its associated media delivery services, including:

facebook.com

fbcdn.net

fbsbx.com

These requests may be required to:

Retrieve video and Reel information

Resolve available media streams

Load video, audio, and subtitle content

Display Facebook comments

Refresh expired playback URLs

Retrieve information for user-initiated downloads

Requests to Facebook may use your existing browser session. Facebook may process these requests according to its own privacy practices.

The Extension does not operate a separate backend service for collecting or storing your browsing history, video history, or playback preferences.

1. Browser Permissions

The Extension requests browser permissions necessary for its features.

Storage

Used to store player settings, optional watch history, resume positions, and temporary playback information.

Downloads

Used to save videos or screenshots when you initiate a download from the player.

Scripting

Used to support the enhanced video player and dynamically load playback functionality where required.

Declarative Network Requests

Used to support network request handling and fallback mechanisms for retrieving Facebook media streams.

Context Menus

Used to provide a right-click option for opening supported Facebook videos and Reels in the enhanced player.

Website Access

The Extension requests access to relevant Facebook domains and associated media content delivery domains.

This access is necessary to identify supported video content, retrieve playback information, and provide enhanced controls.

1. Video Downloads and Screenshots

The Extension allows users to download supported video content and capture screenshots.

Where supported, separate video and audio streams may be processed and combined into a standard MP4 file directly within your browser.

This processing does not require uploading the media to a developer-operated conversion server.

Downloaded files and screenshots are saved to a location managed by your browser or selected by you.

Users are responsible for ensuring that their downloading and use of content comply with applicable laws and the rights of content owners.

1. Third-Party Services

The Extension interacts with Facebook and its associated media delivery infrastructure to provide its functionality.

Facebook content and related network requests are subject to Meta Platforms, Inc.'s own policies and terms.

The Extension does not intentionally collect or transmit your Facebook password or authentication credentials to the extension developer.

Your browser may automatically include session cookies or other authentication information in requests to Facebook, as part of normal authenticated browsing.

The Extension is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc.

1. Analytics, Advertising, and Data Sharing

The Extension does not include developer-operated analytics or advertising trackers.

We do not:

Sell personal information

Share user data with advertisers

Build advertising profiles

Upload locally stored watch history to developer-operated servers

Use personal data for targeted advertising

Network requests made directly to Facebook and its media services are separate from developer-operated data collection.

1. Data Retention and User Control

Locally stored preferences and optional watch history may remain available until they are cleared, expire under the Extension's retention rules, or the Extension is removed.

You can manage your data by:

Disabling optional watch history

Clearing saved watch history and playback positions

Changing Extension preferences

Removing the Extension from your browser

Temporary session data is managed through browser extension storage and is generally cleared when the relevant session ends.

1. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not specifically designed for children and does not knowingly collect children's personal information through a developer-operated service.

Use of Facebook remains subject to Meta's age requirements and policies.

1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Extension's functionality, browser requirements, or applicable privacy practices.

When changes are made, the Effective Date at the top of this document will be updated.
