Privacy Policy for YouTube Shorts Focus Fix

Last Updated: June 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how YouTube Shorts Focus Fix (“we”, “our”, or “the extension”) handles information when you use the browser extension.

1. Data Collection and Usage

• No Personal Data Collection: The extension does not collect, record, track, or share any personal information, browsing history, user credentials, or usage analytics.
• Local Storage Only: Any data used by the extension—specifically your enabled/disabled preference state and the aggregate count of prevented scroll-backs—is stored entirely on your local machine using the browser’s secure chrome.storage.local API.
• No External Transmission: No data is ever transmitted over the network, uploaded to external servers, or shared with third parties. The extension operates completely offline on your device.

2. Permissions Required

To function properly, the extension requires the following permissions:

• storage: Used solely to save your enable/disable settings and count statistics locally.
• Host Permissions (https://www.youtube.com/*): Required to run content scripts on YouTube pages in order to detect window focus/blur states and stabilize the scroll viewport.

3. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page or in the extension package updates. Your continued use of the extension constitutes acceptance of any changes.

4. Contact

If you have any questions or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact the developer via the extension support page.
