Privacy
Policy

Updated August 18, 2026

The short version

No accounts, no personal data collected. Everything stays on your device unless a section below says otherwise — and we don't sell data, ever.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you — no accounts, no names, no email addresses. Whatever this extension stores (settings, saved data) is kept in your browser via chrome.storage . Because it uses sync storage, that data roams across your devices through your own Google account — Chrome handles the sync, and we never see or have access to it.

Permissions and what they're for

activeTab: Read the comments only on the YouTube tab where you click the icon or use the menu
scripting: Open the export panel on the active YouTube tab when you click
contextMenus: Add an "Export comments to CSV…" option to the right-click menu on video pages
downloads: Save the exported CSV/XLSX file with a readable name
storage: Remember your column and format settings and export stats

Every permission above is used for one thing: the single purpose this extension exists for. Nothing is used for anything else.

This extension reads the content of the page you're on —only when you activate it. That content is processed locally, in your browser, and is not sent to us.

Files are saved to your computer only when you ask for them — there's no background or automatic downloading.

Data leaving your browser

This extension talks to the following third-party services:

YouTube — Reads the comments of the video you're on, with the same request the page itself makes while you scroll, using the YouTube session you're already signed in with. Nothing is added to that request, and no copy of the comments is sent anywhere else (https://www.youtube.com)

Each of these is contacted only on your explicit action, only with the data needed for that specific action, and is governed by that service's own privacy policy.

Analytics

This extension does not collect analytics.

Chrome Web Store User Data Policy

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs, and any data this extension collects, adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. We don't sell user data. We don't use or transfer it for purposes unrelated to this extension's single stated purpose, to determine creditworthiness or for lending, or to serve advertising.

No remote code

All code ships inside the extension package reviewed by the Chrome Web Store. Nothing is downloaded or loaded from a server at runtime.

Third parties

Other than what's listed above, we don't share, sell, or transfer data to anyone.

Children

This extension is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.

Deleting your data

Removing the extension removes everything stored locally in your browser. Since we don't hold anything tied to your identity on our side, there's nothing further to delete on request — but you're welcome to reach out with any questions.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
