Privacy Policy for YouTube Sampler

Overview

YouTube Sampler ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we handle data when you use our Chrome extension.

Data We Do NOT Collect

YouTube Sampler does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any of the following:

• Personal identification information (name, email, address)
• Browsing history or web activity
• Location data
• Audio or video content from YouTube
• YouTube account information
• Search queries or watch history
• Any personally identifiable information

Data Stored Locally

The extension stores minimal data locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:

• Export Count: A number tracking how many times you've exported audio (used only for free tier limitation of 3 exports)
• User Preferences: Your last used settings for effects (reverb level, delay time, etc.)

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any servers.

Audio Processing

All audio processing happens entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API:

• Audio is processed in real-time locally on your device
• No audio data is uploaded, transmitted, or stored on any servers
• When you record, the audio is saved directly to your device's download folder
• We have no access to the audio you process or record

Third-Party Services
