Privacy Policy
ytclip is a small open-source tool for saving named YouTube timestamps. This page describes what data the web app and the browser extension collect, where it is stored, and what we do not do.
What we collect
- Account email — when you sign in (Google or email/password) we store your email address so we can identify your clips.
- Clip data — for each clip you save: the YouTube video ID, the original video title, the timestamp in seconds, an optional clip name, and an optional note.
- Like and view counters — aggregate counts on clips, used to power the Popular tab. Not tied to user identity.
Where it lives
All data is stored in a Supabase project owned by the ytclip author. Authentication and storage are handled by Supabase. The browser extension stores your session token locally in Chrome's extension storage; the web app stores it in the browser's localStorage.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share data with third parties.
- We do not run analytics or tracking scripts.
- We do not read or store anything from your YouTube viewing history.
- The extension only reads the active YouTube tab's video ID, title, and current playback time when you explicitly open the popup or click the in-page Save button.
Public visibility
Clips you save are private to your account by default. The "All Clips" and "Popular" tabs
on the web show only clips from videos whose YouTube title contains gameon (or
game on). All other clips are visible only to you in "My Clips".
Deleting your data
You can delete individual clips from the web app. To delete your entire account and all associated clips, contact the maintainer at github.com/toho36/ytclip/issues.
