Privacy Policy

Effective date: 14 August 2026 · Contact: www.resetmyfeed.app

Reset My YouTube Feed (“the extension”) is a browser extension that reformats YouTube's subscription and channel pages into a clean, single-column list view, with optional filters (hide Shorts, keyword blacklist, and more). This policy describes exactly what data the extension handles and where it goes.

What the extension stores (all local, on your device)

The extension saves the following in your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local). None of it is synced to any account or server:

• Your settings — view mode, layout (card size/width/spacing/colors/etc.), theme and skin, and filter preferences.
• Your blacklist — the keyword/channel terms and presets you configure.
• A description cache — short text descriptions of videos in your feed, fetched from YouTube (see below) and cached so they don't have to be re-fetched. This cache is capped and expires automatically.
• A small error log — the extension records its own internal warnings/errors (with a capped, de-duplicated ring buffer) to help diagnose problems. It contains no personal content — only messages about the extension's own code.

You can clear all of this at any time by removing the extension, or via your browser's extension storage controls.

The only network request the extension makes

To show each video's description inline in the list view, the extension fetches the YouTube watch page for that video (a same-origin request to youtube.com) and reads the description text from it (shortDescription in the page's JSON, falling back to the page's og:description meta tag). That text is cached locally (see above).

• These requests go only to youtube.com — the same site you are already on.
• They are made only for videos visible in your feed, and results are cached to minimize repeat fetches.
• The fetched page HTML is parsed for the description string only — it is never executed as code.

The extension makes no other network requests.

What the extension does NOT do

• No external backend / no servers we operate. There is no account, no login, and no licensing/payment service in this release.
• No data leaves your device. No settings, no blacklist, no cache, no error log, and no device or license identifiers are ever transmitted anywhere.
• No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking.
• No advertising and no ad networks.
• No selling or sharing of data — there is no data collected off-device to sell or share.
• No remote code. All of the extension's logic ships inside the extension bundle; nothing is downloaded and executed at runtime. (YouTube page HTML that is fetched for descriptions is parsed as text, never run.)

Permissions

The extension requests only the permissions it needs to run on YouTube and to apply your layout. Notably, the extension does not request the management permission and does not read your list of installed extensions.

Children's privacy

The extension collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at the URL where you found it, with a new effective date.
