Overview

TLDR for YouTube is a browser extension that extracts on‑page subtitles from YouTube videos and opens ChatGPT with a pre‑filled prompt. We care about your privacy and keep data handling minimal.

Information We Collect

• No accounts are required for the extension to run.
• We do not collect or store your browsing history.
• Subtitles are read directly from the YouTube page in your browser and sent to ChatGPT on your device.
• For Pro licensing, we may store a license status token locally (in the browser). License validation is performed via our server.

How We Use Data

• Operate the extension’s core features (subtitle extraction and prompt generation).
• Validate Pro access (license verification).
• Improve reliability and resolve issues (aggregate error logs on our server, if any).

Permissions

The extension requests only the permissions necessary to read YouTube page content and open a new tab to ChatGPT. We do not inject tracking code or third‑party analytics into web pages.

Third‑Party Services

• OpenAI ChatGPT: Opened in your browser with pre‑filled text.
• Lemon Squeezy: Used for payments and license distribution for Pro features.

Data Retention

We do not store your video transcripts on our servers. Any local settings (e.g., custom prompts, license token) are stored in your browser storage and can be removed at any time.

Your Choices

• Remove the extension at any time via the browser’s extensions page.
• Clear extension data via your browser settings or the extension’s settings page.

Changes

We may update this policy to reflect improvements or legal requirements. We will update the “Last updated” date above.
