Privacy Policy for SmartVideo For YouTube
Last updated: July 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the SmartVideo For YouTube browser extension (“the Extension”) handles information.
1. Overview
SmartVideo For YouTube helps you control YouTube playback settings such as buffering preferences, auto-loop, and video quality. We respect your privacy and designed the Extension to work without collecting personal information.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect, store, sell, rent, or share any personal data. In particular, we do not collect:
- Names, email addresses, or account information
- Browsing history outside the Extension’s intended use
- Video watch history or YouTube account details
- Location data
- Device identifiers used for tracking
- Analytics, advertising, or marketing profiles
The Extension does not use third-party analytics services and does not track you across websites.
3. Local Settings Only
Any preferences you choose in the Extension (for example, auto-loop, buffer strategy, buffer target, and quality preference) are saved locally on your device using the browser’s storage API (chrome.storage.local). These settings remain on your computer or device and are not transmitted to us.
You can clear these settings at any time by removing the Extension or clearing extension storage through your browser.
4. Permissions
The Extension may request limited browser permissions needed for its features, such as:
- storage – to save your settings locally on your device
- access to YouTube pages – to apply playback-related settings while you use YouTube
These permissions are used only to provide the Extension’s functionality and not to gather personal information about you.
5. Children’s Privacy
The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from children or from any users. Because we do not collect personal data, there is no personal information to delete in connection with children’s privacy laws.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this document will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the Extension after changes means you accept the updated policy.
7. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the support channel provided on the Extension’s store listing page.
