Last Updated: April 14, 2026
1. Introduction
OmniDub AI is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Chrome extension. Our primary goal is to provide video translation and text-to-speech services while maintaining the highest standards of data minimalization.
2. Information We Collect
OmniDub AI only collects data that is strictly necessary for its core functionality:
Website Content: The extension reads subtitle text and video metadata from supported platforms (such as YouTube, Netflix, and Bilibili) to provide real-time translation and voiceover synchronization.
User Preferences: We store your settings, such as preferred languages, TTS voice selections, and playback volume, to ensure a consistent experience.
User Activity: We monitor interactions within the extension’s popup interface to trigger specific features like "Translate" or "Play."
3. How We Use Your Information
The data collected is used solely to:
Translate video subtitles into your chosen language.
Generate AI-powered voiceovers via Text-to-Speech engines.
Synchronize audio tracks with the video timeline.
Improve the extension’s performance and user interface.
4. Data Storage and Security
Local Processing: Most data processing, including subtitle parsing and settings storage, happens locally on your device.
No Permanent Storage: Subtitle content is processed in real-time and is not stored permanently on any server.
No Personal Identification: We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or browsing history outside of the supported video pages.
5. Third-Party Disclosure
No Data Selling: We do not sell, trade, or transfer your data to third parties.
Service Providers: Subtitle text may be sent to third-party translation and TTS APIs (such as browser-native tools) solely to fulfill your request for translation and audio generation. These services do not receive any information identifying you.
