Last updated: January 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains the information collection, use, and sharing practices of YouTube Description Generator ("we," "us," and "our").
This Policy describes and governs the information collection, use, and sharing practices with respect to your use of our browser extension and services ("Services") we provide and/or host on our servers.
Before you use or submit any information through or in connection with the Services, please carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using any part of the Services, you understand that your information will be collected, used, and disclosed as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to this privacy policy, please do not use our Services.
YouTube Description Generator has designed this policy to be consistent with the following principles:
We collect information in multiple ways, including when you provide information directly to us, when we passively collect information from you such as from your browser or device, and from third parties.
We will collect any information you provide to us, including:
We collect aggregate information about video popularity:
Important: This data is completely anonymous. We know "Video X was processed 1,000 times" but we do NOT know which specific users processed it.
We collect information about your usage patterns:
Privacy guarantee: User activity data is stored separately from video statistics. We cannot link your User ID to specific videos you process (except in error logs, see below).
When technical errors occur, we collect detailed context to fix bugs:
Purpose: Error logs help us identify and fix bugs quickly. This is the only place where user and video information may be temporarily linked, and only for debugging purposes.
We may use the information we collect from and about you to:
We may aggregate and/or de-identify information collected through the Services. We may use de-identified and/or aggregated data for any purpose, including research and service improvement.
We may disclose and/or share your information under the following circumstances:
We use the following third-party services to operate our extension:
Important: We do NOT sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers. Third-party services are used strictly for technical functionality.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce our Terms of Use; (c) respond to claims; (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of our users and the public.
If we engage in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
We may disclose your information to any third parties based on your consent to do so.
We may disclose de-identified and/or aggregated data for any purpose, including service improvement and research.
