Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2, 2026
CleanTube is a Chrome extension that helps you have a cleaner YouTube experience by hiding or dimming videos you've already watched. We've built CleanTube with a privacy-first mindset: the extension does as little as possible, and shares nothing.
What we don't collect
CleanTube does not collect, sell, rent, or transmit personal information. We have no servers that receive your data, no user accounts, and no profiles tied to you.
What we store
The extension stores only the preferences you configure — such as whether CleanTube is enabled, your chosen display mode (Hide or Dim + Badge), and your watched threshold.
These preferences are saved using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage API so the extension remembers your settings between sessions. They stay in your browser.
No analytics, ads, or tracking
CleanTube does not use analytics services, advertising networks, or third-party tracking scripts. The extension does not send telemetry of any kind.
Permissions
CleanTube only runs on YouTube pages, and uses the minimum permissions required to hide or dim watched videos and to save your preferences locally.
