TurboTube – Privacy Policy 

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.
