YouTube Focus AI Warden is designed to protect your privacy.

No personal data collected: The extension never accesses your YouTube account, cookies, or identity. Your username and personal information are never sent or stored.

Anonymous video data only: To filter your feed, basic video details already visible on YouTube (e.g., title, channel, duration) are processed. These are sent anonymously to our AI services (such as Google Gemini or OpenAI ChatGPT) through a secure Cloudflare proxy.

No linkage to you: There is no association between any video data and your identity. All processing is anonymous.

Local storage only: Your chosen intent is stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.sync).

Fail-open: If the AI service is unavailable, YouTube remains unchanged.

This ensures that all data handling is limited, anonymous, and only used to classify videos according to your chosen intent.
