TubeWizard — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-22

TubeWizard ("the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the Extension accesses and how it is used.

Summary

The Extension does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data. It has no servers, no analytics, and no third-party tracking. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Data the Extension uses

DataPurposeWhere it stays
Your feature settings (toggles, preferred quality/FPS) Remember your preferences between sessions Stored locally via chrome.storage.sync; synced only across your own signed-in Chrome profile by Google, never sent to us
Open YouTube tab information (tab IDs, URLs) Coordinate single playback — pausing background YouTube tabs when you start a video Held in memory only, never persisted or transmitted

The Extension reads the buffered duration and the browser's existing network timing for the currently playing video (for the optional Buffer + Speed HUD). This information is displayed on screen only and is never recorded or sent anywhere.

Permissions explained

Remote code

Data sharing
