Tunewise privacy policy

• Your Tunewise settings — which options are on and their values (for example, "Hide Shorts" on, watched videos dimmed from 90 %). They are saved with Chrome's sync storage so that they follow you to other Chrome browsers where you are signed in. Syncing is done by Chrome under Google's Privacy Policy; the developer of Tunewise cannot see or access your settings.
• Nothing else. Tunewise does not store your browsing history, watch history, search terms, account details or any content from YouTube.

To apply your options, the extension runs on www.youtube.com pages and looks at the page inside your browser, for example:

• which part of the page is shown (Home, a video, search results, a channel), and which sections and video tiles it contains;
• the "watched" progress bar and the live, upcoming or members-only badges that YouTube shows on video tiles, to dim or hide them as you chose;
• on channel pages, the list of the channel's tabs, so that a tab you chose to hide (Shorts, Posts, Live) can be hidden.

This is used only at that moment, on your device, to show or hide parts of the page. It is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere.

When you open the popup and change the Home redirect, the popup checks the address of the tab you are on once (Chrome's "active tab" permission), to offer "Go to …" for that tab. The address is not stored or sent.

Settings → Export saves your settings as a JSON file on your computer. Import reads a file you choose, in your browser, and replaces your settings with it. These files are never uploaded; what you do with an exported file is up to you. Reset all settings returns every option to its default.

• No analytics, tracking, advertising or crash reporting.
• No network requests: no servers, no remote code; fonts and icons are bundled with the extension.
• No sale or transfer of data to anyone, and no use of data for advertising, credit or lending decisions.

• Storage — to save your settings and sync them through Chrome.
• Active tab — to read the address of the current tab once, when you change the Home redirect in the popup.
• Access to www.youtube.com — to apply your options on YouTube pages, including a small script that only marks the tabs of a channel page so they can be hidden. The extension runs on no other site.

The use of information received by Tunewise adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changing or turning off an option changes your settings immediately; Reset all settings clears them. Uninstalling Tunewise removes its settings from Chrome.

If this policy changes, the new version is published at the same address with a new effective date. A change that would collect or share data would be stated in the release notes and would require your consent before it applies.
