Privacy Policy

Effective: July 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how YouTube Frame Capture ("the Extension") handles information.

1. Information We Collect

The Extension collects only what is strictly necessary to provide its service:

• License key: Entered by the user and stored locally on your device (chrome.storage.local). Used solely to verify your subscription status.
• Email address: Provided voluntarily by the user to look up an existing subscription. Stored locally on your device only.
• Subscription status: Retrieved from our server when verifying a license key. We store only the email and expiry date associated with the key.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• Browsing history or visited URLs
• YouTube video titles, watch history, or any video metadata
• The frames or images captured by the Extension
• Any personally identifiable information beyond what you voluntarily provide
• IP addresses or device identifiers (our server logs are minimal and not retained)

3. How Information Is Used

License keys and email addresses are used exclusively to verify and manage PRO subscriptions. No data is sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising.

4. Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store or access your payment card information. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment data.

5. Data Storage

Subscription data (license key, email, expiry date) is stored in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local) on your device. Server-side, we store only the minimum data needed to verify subscriptions, using Upstash Redis.

6. Data Retention

Subscription records are retained for the duration of the subscription plus 30 days. You can remove locally stored data at any time by clicking "Reset License" in the extension popup.

7. Third-Party Services

• Stripe — payment processing
• Upstash — subscription database
• Vercel — API hosting

Each service has its own privacy policy. The Extension does not share data with any other third parties.

8. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance.
