TurboTube – Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 20, 2026
────────────────────────────────────────
1. INTRODUCTION
TurboTube ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension
developed to save and automatically apply custom YouTube
playback speeds on a per-channel or global basis. This
Privacy Policy explains what information the Extension
accesses, how it is used, and your rights as a user.
By installing TurboTube, you agree to the practices
described in this policy.
────────────────────────────────────────
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
TurboTube does NOT collect personal information.
The only data stored by TurboTube is:
• Playback speed preferences — numeric values between
0.25 and 2.0 (example: 1.5, 1.75, 2.0)
• YouTube channel identifiers — short text strings
extracted from YouTube page URLs that identify which
channel a speed preference belongs to
(example: "CodeWithHarry" from youtube.com/@CodeWithHarry)
This data does not identify you personally. It contains
no names, email addresses, account information,
financial data, health information, or any other
personally identifiable information.
────────────────────────────────────────
3. HOW WE USE THIS INFORMATION
The data described above is used solely for one purpose:
• To remember your preferred playback speed for
specific YouTube channels and apply it automatically
when you open a video from that channel.
We do not use this data for advertising, analytics,
profiling, research, or any purpose beyond the core
functionality described above.
────────────────────────────────────────
4. WHERE YOUR DATA IS STORED
All data is stored locally on your own device using
Chrome's built-in Storage API (chrome.storage.local).
• No data is transmitted to any external server
• No data is stored in any cloud database
• No data is accessible to us or any third party
• Your data never leaves your browser
────────────────────────────────────────
5. DATA SHARING AND THIRD PARTIES
TurboTube does NOT:
• Sell user data to any third party
• Share user data with any third party
• Transfer user data for advertising purposes
• Use user data to determine loan or lending conditions
• Allow any human to read or access your stored data
There are no third-party services, SDKs, analytics
tools, or advertising networks integrated into
TurboTube.
────────────────────────────────────────
6. PERMISSIONS USED
TurboTube requests the following Chrome permissions:
• storage — Used exclusively to save and retrieve
your playback speed preferences locally on
your device.
• Host permission for youtube.com — Used to run
the content script on YouTube pages so the
extension can detect video elements, read the
channel name from the URL, and apply your saved
speed preference automatically.
No other permissions are requested. We follow the
principle of minimum permissions — we only request
what is strictly necessary for the extension
to function.
────────────────────────────────────────
7. DATA RETENTION
Your speed preferences remain stored in your browser
until you:
• Manually clear the extension's storage via
Chrome Settings
• Uninstall the TurboTube extension
• Clear all browser data in Chrome settings
There is no automatic expiry or remote deletion
of your data.
────────────────────────────────────────
8. YOUR RIGHTS
Since all data is stored locally on your device,
you have full control over it at all times.
You can:
• View your saved speeds by clicking the
TurboTube icon in your Chrome toolbar
• Delete all saved data by uninstalling the
extension or clearing its storage
• Opt out of per-channel memory at any time
by toggling the button to the OFF (gray) state
We do not hold your data on any server, so there
is no data request, export, or deletion process
to go through with us.
────────────────────────────────────────
9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
TurboTube does not knowingly collect any information
from children under the age of 13. The extension
collects no personal information from any user
regardless of age.
────────────────────────────────────────
10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will
update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Continued use of the extension after changes are posted
constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
