UTTP Blocker - Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
TL;DR: UTTP Blocker does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All data processing happens locally on your device.
1. Information We Don't Collect
UTTP Blocker is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit:
- Your personal information
- Your YouTube viewing history
- Your comments or interactions
- Your browsing habits
- Any data that could identify you
2. How the Extension Works
UTTP Blocker operates entirely on your device and only:
- Reads YouTube comments to apply filtering rules locally
- Stores your preferences (filter settings) locally in your browser
- Fetches public blacklist data from our GitHub repository (no personal data involved)
- Hides filtered comments from your view without transmitting any data
3. Data Storage
All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:
- Filter preferences: Stored locally in your browser
- Blacklist data: Cached locally for performance
- No external servers: No data is sent to external services
4. Permissions Used
UTTP Blocker requests the following permissions:
- Storage: To save your filter preferences locally
- Alarms: To periodically update blacklist data
- YouTube access: To read and filter comments on YouTube pages
5. Third-Party Services
The extension only connects to:
- GitHub Pages: To fetch public blacklist data (no personal information involved)
- YouTube: To access comment sections for filtering
6. Data Security
Since all data processing happens locally on your device:
- No data transmission means no risk of data breaches
- Your preferences are only accessible to you
- No external parties can access your data
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- View and modify your stored preferences at any time
- Uninstall the extension, which will remove all locally stored data
