Privacy Policy

Overview

Your privacy is extremely important to us. The YouTube Pause on Tab Switch browser extension is built with a strict privacy-first architecture. It operates entirely locally on your device and does not collect, track, or share any personal information or web browsing activity.

Information Collection and Usage

We do not collect any personal data or transmit information to external servers. The extension performs its function (pausing and playing videos) locally in your browser session.

• No Analytics: We do not track how you use the extension.
• No Cloud Storage: All extension logic operates in-memory on your device.
• No Third-Party SDKs: There are no advertising networks, trackers, or cookies loaded by this extension.

Permissions Used

To perform its single, simple task, the extension requires the following permissions:

• tabs / activeTab: Used to detect when you navigate to or away from a YouTube tab.
• scripting: Used to send the play/pause signals to the YouTube video elements.
• Host Permissions (*://*.youtube.com/*): Allows the extension to interact only with YouTube.com to control the video player.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published directly to this page and will go into effect immediately upon posting.
