CurateBox is a Chrome extension that helps you organize YouTube channels into categories and view their latest videos. This privacy policy explains how CurateBox handles your data.
The short version: we collect nothing. All your data stays on your device.
CurateBox does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on external servers. There is no backend, no database, and no account system.
All data created by CurateBox — including your categories, channel lists, and preferences — is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. This data never leaves your browser.
The following information is stored on your device only:
Category names and ordering
YouTube channel names and IDs you have added
Per-channel color preferences
Video seen/unsaved state
Your license key (if you have purchased CurateBox)
Installation date (used to calculate your free trial period)
None of this information is accessible to us or any third party.
CurateBox fetches publicly available RSS feeds from YouTube to display recent videos. This is the same data that is available to anyone on the internet and does not involve any personal information.
If you purchase CurateBox, your payment is processed by Lemon Squeezy. Their privacy policy governs how your payment information is handled. CurateBox only receives a license key confirming your purchase — no payment details are shared with us.
CurateBox requests the following Chrome permissions:
Storage — to save your categories and preferences locally on your device
Alarms — to periodically refresh YouTube RSS feeds in the background
Tabs — to open the purchase page when you click Buy
Host access to youtube.com — to inject the Add to Category button on YouTube channel pages and to fetch RSS feeds
No permission is used to track your browsing activity, collect personal data, or communicate with any server other than YouTube's public RSS feeds and Lemon Squeezy's license verification API.
When you enter a license key, CurateBox sends that key to Lemon Squeezy's API to verify it is valid. No other information is sent during this process.
CurateBox is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from children.
If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date.
