Privacy Policy
This policy explains how YouTube Video & Channel Hider (the "Extension") handles information. Last updated: September 9, 2026.
Information stored locally
The identifiers, display names, hide durations, and theme preference for hidden videos and channels are stored in chrome.storage.local in your browser. They are used to hide and manage items you select on YouTube and are not sent to an external server during ordinary use.
Purchases and license verification
When you choose to purchase the paid upgrade, your region setting and extension ID are sent to the payment Worker to open Stripe Checkout. Stripe handles card and other payment details; the developer does not receive them.
A license key that you enter after purchase is sent to the Cloudflare Worker only to verify validity. The Worker keeps the license key, payment-session ID, payment identifier, purchase region, and creation time in its license record.
To prevent abuse and excessive requests, the Worker uses the request IP address with Cloudflare's short-term rate limiting. The IP address is not stored in the license record.
Service providers
Stripe provides payment processing and Cloudflare provides the license-verification infrastructure. These providers may process information under their respective privacy policies.
Purpose and sharing
Information is used only to provide hiding features, issue and verify one-time licenses, prevent abuse, and respond to support requests. We do not sell personal information or usage data.
Deletion and contact
You can remove local hidden-item data and saved license keys by clearing this extension's browser data. For purchase-record questions or deletion requests, contact us through this Extension's support channel in the Chrome Web Store.
