What can the extension see?
Youtube Pop Out Player runs only on youtube.com. It adds the pop-out button to the YouTube player and, when you click it, asks the browser to show the video that is already playing in a picture-in-picture window. It does not read the page content, comments or your account, and it does not run on other websites.
What does it store on your computer?
Your interface language, your settings and a counter used by the rating prompt. These stay in Chrome's extension storage on your computer and are deleted when you remove the extension.
What does it send to us?
| Data | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Random device ID | To recognise the same installation for the trial and plan | While the installation is active |
| Number of pop-outs | To count the free trial | With the device ID |
| IP address | To determine your country when the plan is checked | Not stored |
| E-mail (only if you buy) | To restore your purchase on another device | While the plan exists |
Payments are made on Lemon Squeezy's checkout page; we never see your card details.
What does it not collect?
- your YouTube account, subscriptions or comments;
- your watch history or search history;
- the content of other websites and tabs.
