Rewire for YouTube - Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2026

1. No Data Collection Rewire for YouTube does not collect, capture, store, or transmit any personal data, user information, or browsing history. Your online activity on YouTube remains completely private to you.
2. Local Processing and Storage All settings, custom daily time limits, focus mode configurations, streak tracking metrics, and weekly usage analytics are processed and stored locally on your device using the browser's standard local storage APIs (chrome.storage.local). No data is sent to external servers or cloud systems.
3. No Third-Party Sharing We do not share, sell, distribute, or rent any of your usage data to third-party companies, advertisers, or analytical services because we never collect or have access to it in the first place.
4. External Interactions The extension interacts with YouTube pages locally inside your browser to hide distracting elements (such as Shorts, comments, and sidebars) and track active screen time. This processing occurs dynamically and privately on your machine.
