Privacy Policy for YouTube™ Comment Blocker – Focus & Clean Mode
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how YouTube™ Comment Blocker – Focus & Clean Mode ("the Extension") manages, collects, uses, and discloses information. The Extension is designed to provide users with a simple way to toggle the visibility of comments on YouTube videos.
2. Information Collection and Use
The Extension does not collect, transmit, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive user data.
Data Stored Locally (User Preferences)
The Extension uses the Chrome Browser's local storage solely to save user settings.
Data Stored: The preference to hide or show YouTube comments (e.g., a simple setting indicating the display state).
Purpose: This data is stored only locally on your device and is used solely to maintain your custom setting across browser sessions and page reloads. This information is never transmitted to the developer or any third-party servers.
3. Permissions Justification
The Extension requires the following permissions to operate as intended:
storage: This permission is required to save and retrieve the user's persistent preference for hiding or showing comments.
tabs and activeTab: These permissions are required to identify if the currently active tab is a YouTube page and to send the toggle command directly to that tab's content script for execution.
host_permissions (https://www.youtube.com/*): This host permission is essential to execute the necessary script code (Content Script) directly on YouTube web pages, allowing the extension to successfully locate and apply CSS styling to hide or show the comment section.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
The Extension does not share, sell, or disclose any data or information with any third parties, including advertisers or other extensions.
