Data Collection and Usage
The Extension only collects and processes the following types of user data:
-
Web History
- Data Collected: The URLs of YouTube video pages visited by the user.
- Purpose: To identify if a user is on a YouTube video page and enable bookmarking functionality for specific timestamps.
- How It Works: The Extension checks the URL of the active browser tab to determine if it matches the pattern youtube.com/watch. If it does, the Extension extracts the video ID from the URL to store bookmarks uniquely for that video.
-
Website Content
- Data Collected: DOM elements of YouTube video pages (e.g., player controls) are accessed to add bookmarking buttons and manage user interactions.
- Purpose: To allow users to save, view, and delete bookmarks directly on YouTube pages.
- How It Works: The Extension injects content scripts into YouTube pages to manipulate the DOM and add interactive features like bookmark buttons.
Data Storage
All data collected by the Extension is stored locally in the user's browser using Chrome's storage API. This includes:
- Saved bookmarks (timestamps associated with specific YouTube videos).
No data is transmitted to external servers or third parties.
Permissions
The Extension requires the following permissions to function:
- Tabs Permission: To access and read the URL of the active browser tab.
- Storage Permission: To save and retrieve bookmarks locally within the browser.

- Authentication information (e.g., passwords).
- Personal communications (e.g., emails or messages).
- Location data (e.g., IP address or GPS coordinates).
