Privacy Policy

Stop YouTube Shorts is designed to perform its single purpose without collecting personal or sensitive user data.

Information the extension handles

The extension stores one boolean preference named sidebar. This preference records whether the Shorts navigation entry should be hidden. It does not contain personal information.

The extension does not collect or store browsing history, URLs visited, video titles, page content, account identifiers, authentication information, personal communications, location, financial information, or analytics.

How the preference is used

The preference is used only to apply the sidebar setting selected by the user. Content scripts and styles run locally on www.youtube.com to hide supported Shorts interface elements. The extension does not send page content or activity to the developer.

Storage and synchronization

The preference is stored with chrome.storage.sync. If Chrome Sync is enabled, Google Chrome may synchronize it between browsers signed in to the same Google account. If sync is disabled, Chrome stores it locally. This processing is provided by Chrome and is subject to Google's privacy practices.

Sharing and third parties

The developer does not receive, sell, rent, disclose, or transfer extension user data to third parties. The extension contains no analytics, advertising, telemetry, remote code, or developer-operated backend.

Retention and deletion

Chrome retains the preference until the user changes it, removes it through Chrome, or uninstalls the extension. The developer cannot access or delete this preference because it is never transmitted to the developer.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

The use of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Information is used only to provide the extension's disclosed, user-facing purpose.

This website

This static website uses no cookies, analytics, forms, or third-party scripts. It is hosted by GitHub Pages, so GitHub may process ordinary connection information under the GitHub General Privacy Statement.

Changes to this policy

If the extension's data practices change, this page will be updated before the related extension version is published. The effective date at the top of the page identifies the current policy.
