Privacy Policy for YT Playlist Tools

Effective date: November 5, 2026. This policy describes the v3.6.0 source build.

YT Playlist Tools does not send analytics, usage statistics, saved playlists or
browsing history to the developer. It has no developer-operated data service and
does not sell user data.

Data kept in your browser

The extension uses local browser storage for saved lists and tags, custom video
orders, watched status, playback positions, preferences and local usage counters.
Counters include feature uses, videos completed and watch time; the popup displays
them locally. They are not telemetry sent to the developer.

The most recently loaded complete playlist can also be cached locally to continue
an order across navigation. It is eligible for restoration for ten minutes. The
stored entry may remain until it is replaced or extension storage is cleared;
this is not a promise of automatic deletion after ten minutes.

You can delete saved lists in the extension. Uninstalling the extension or clearing
its local storage removes its stored data. There is no automatic cloud sync.

YouTube and other network requests

The extension operates on normal YouTube pages, reads their displayed playlist
metadata and can load YouTube thumbnails. Playback and navigation still contact
YouTube under YouTube's own privacy policy. When the watch sidebar exposes only
part of a long playlist, the extension can open a temporary background playlist
page to load the remaining rows, then close that tab.

The extension does not use a YouTube Data API key. It does not require an extension
account or ask for your Google password. Private YouTube lists require your normal
YouTube sign-in and remain subject to YouTube's access controls.

Support, donation, source and store links open their respective websites when you
choose them. Those websites have their own privacy policies.

Export and sharing

Export creates a text, CSV or JSON file on your device, or copies text to your
clipboard at your request. JSON backups include saved playlists and settings.
The popup's Share button copies a local usage summary and store link. You decide
whether and where to share these files or clipboard contents. Import reads the
backup file you select; it does not upload it to a server.
