ETA Tube ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome browser extension ETA Tube (the "Extension") handles information when you use it.
Information We Collect
The Short Answer: We Don't Collect Anything
ETA Tube is a completely local extension. Everything happens in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Information We DO NOT Collect
- Personal information (name, email, phone number, address)
- Browsing history or website activity
- Video viewing data or watch history
- Usage analytics, statistics, or telemetry
- Playback preferences or settings
- Any information transmitted to external servers
- Location data or device information
- Cookies or tracking identifiers
Information Stored Locally
ETA Tube uses Chrome's local storage API to temporarily cache calculation data:
- Current video timestamp and playback speed (to calculate ETA)
- This data is stored only in your browser's memory
- Data is cleared when you close the video or tab
- No data persists between browser sessions
- Data never leaves your device
Permissions Explained
ETA Tube requests the following Chrome permissions:
Storage Permission
Used to temporarily store calculation data in your browser's local memory. This allows the extension to track video progress and calculate the estimated completion time. All data is local and temporary.
YouTube Access
The extension only runs on YouTube.com pages to access video player information (current time, duration, playback speed) needed to calculate when the video will end. This data is processed locally and never transmitted anywhere.
How We Use Information
The locally stored data is used exclusively to:
- Calculate the estimated time your video will finish
- Update the displayed ETA as you change playback speed
- Adjust calculations when you skip forward or backward in the video
That's it. Nothing else.
Data Storage and Security
- All calculations happen locally in your browser
- No data is transmitted to any external servers or third parties
- The extension does not make any network requests
- All data is automatically cleared when you close the video
- Uninstalling the extension removes all traces of data
Third-Party Services
ETA Tube does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or data collection tools. The extension operates in complete isolation and does not communicate with any external servers.
Changes to This Policy
If we make any changes to this privacy policy, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Since the extension doesn't collect data, any changes would likely be clarifications rather than fundamental shifts in how we handle information.
