YouTube Timestamps: Right Next to the Video by Immersium.code
Privacy Policy
EFFECTIVE DATE: JUNE 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy governs the data practices of the Timestamps Chrome extension (hereinafter
referred to as "the Extension"). We value your privacy and are committed to maintaining the absolute
confidentiality and security of your browsing experience.
1. Information Collection and Usage
The Extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, browsing history, or user
identifiable information. All operations are performed locally within your browser environment.
Specifically:
No Account Registration: You are not required to create an account, register, or provide any
personal details to use the Extension.
No Analytics: We do not use any third-party tracking, analytics tools, or telemetry to monitor your
behavior.
Local Processing: The Extension only processes YouTube video description metadata locally to
extract timecodes and display them in a side panel. This data is never sent to any external servers.
2. Permissions and Justifications
To provide its core functionality, the Extension requests minimal and specific permissions within the
Google Chrome browser:
activeTab: This permission is used exclusively to interact with the current open YouTube tab when
you view a video. It allows the Extension to safely read the video description and inject the timestamp
navigation block into the page layout without requesting broad, continuous access to all your browsing
data.
- Data Security
Since the Extension does not collect or transmit any data across the internet, your information remains
entirely secure within your local device. We follow official Google Chrome Extension developer best
practices to ensure that code execution remains isolated and safe.
