Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Universal Video Speed Controller extension ("the Extension") collects, how it is used, and how it is protected. We have designed this extension with a strict "privacy-first" approach.
The Universal Video Speed Controller operates entirely on your local device. The Extension does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data, browsing history, or identifiable information on remote servers. All processing occurs strictly locally within your browser.
To function correctly, the Extension requests the following browser permissions, used solely for their intended local purpose:
storage: Used to save your settings, preferences (e.g., custom playback speeds, theme, shortcut configurations), and local analytics (such as time saved) directly on your device.activeTab & tabs: Used exclusively to detect HTML5 video players on the active webpage you are viewing. This allows the Extension to overlay its controls and apply your requested playback speeds dynamically.The Extension includes an "Insights" panel that calculates statistics like "Time saved" and your "Most used" speeds. This data is generated and stored locally on your hard drive. It is never uploaded, tracked, synced to the cloud, or shared with us or any third parties.
The Extension operates entirely independently. It does not use any third-party tracking services, analytics frameworks (such as Google Analytics), or advertising SDKs. Your browsing history, video preferences, and viewing habits are completely private and never monetized.
Because all data remains locally on your machine, the security of your settings and local analytics is tied directly to the security of your device and web browser. We do not maintain any databases of user information, ensuring there is no risk of a data breach compromising your extension data from our end.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly if we introduce new features that require different browser permissions. We will notify users of any significant changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
