Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

1. Overview

This privacy policy describes how the Chrome extension “sktoosh” (“the extension”) collects, uses, and handles data. The extension is designed to assist with YouTube video research by providing on-page tools that work directly within YouTube pages.

The extension operates only on https://www.youtube.com/* and functions only when the user actively interacts with it.

2. Data Collection

Publicly Available Information

The extension may access and process publicly visible information available on YouTube pages, such as:

• Video titles
• Channel names
• Video URLs
• Other metadata visible on the page

This information is accessed locally within the user’s browser and only to provide the extension’s research-related features.

User Preferences

The extension stores user-defined settings and preferences (such as feature toggles or interface options) using Chrome’s local storage APIs.

3. Data Not Collected

The extension does not:

• Collect personal or sensitive user data
• Collect authentication credentials
• Access private or restricted YouTube data
• Track browsing activity outside of YouTube
• Collect keystrokes, form inputs, or private communications
• Transmit data to external servers

4. Data Usage

Data accessed by the extension is used solely to provide user-visible, research-related functionality, including displaying on-page tools and enabling user-initiated research workflows.

All data processing occurs locally within the user’s browser.

The extension does not use any accessed data for advertising, analytics, profiling, or tracking purposes.

5. Data Sharing

The extension does not share, sell, or transfer data to any third parties, including advertisers, analytics providers, or external services.

6. Remote Code and External Requests

The extension does not load or execute remote JavaScript code. All executable code is bundled directly within the extension package, and no external code execution mechanisms (such as dynamic scripts or eval) are used.

7. Data Storage and Retention

• User preferences are stored locally on the user’s device.
• Stored data remains until cleared by the user or the extension is removed.
• No data is stored on external servers.

8. User Control

Users may disable or remove the extension at any time via Chrome’s extension settings. Stored extension data can also be cleared using standard browser controls.

9. Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated to reflect changes to the extension or applicable policies. Any updates will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
