Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the Free YouTube & Web AI Summarizer Chrome Extension ("we", "our", or "the extension") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our browser extension.

Information We Do Not Collect

We want to be clear that we do not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Personal identification information
  • Browsing history
  • Login credentials
  • Cookies or tracking data
  • Usage statistics
  • Any other personal data

Data Processing

When you use our extension to summarize content, the following occurs:

  • For web pages: The extension temporarily processes the visible text content of the current webpage to generate a summary. This content is immediately cleared after being copied to your clipboard.
  • For YouTube videos: The extension retrieves the video transcript through YouTube's public API. This transcript data is temporarily processed to generate a summary and is immediately cleared afterward.
  • All summaries are generated using your chosen AI service (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) through your own account. We do not have access to your AI service accounts or the generated summaries.

Local Storage

The extension stores the following information locally on your device only:

  • Your preferred AI service selection
  • Custom prompt templates you create
  • Extension settings and preferences

This data never leaves your device and is stored using Chrome's secure storage API.

Third-Party Services

The extension integrates with the following third-party services:

  • AI Services (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini): When you use the summarize feature, the content is processed through your chosen AI service. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for information about how they handle your data.
  • YouTube API: For video summarization, we use YouTube's public API to fetch video transcripts. This interaction follows YouTube's terms of service and privacy policy.

Permissions

Our extension requires certain permissions to function:

  • activeTab: To access the current webpage's content for summarization
  • clipboard: To copy summaries to your clipboard
  • storage: To save your preferences locally
  • host permissions: To integrate with AI services and YouTube

Updates to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the extension's documentation and this page. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
