Shorts++ Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Introduction

Shorts++ ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Chrome extension.

Data Collection

We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal information or user data.

The extension operates entirely locally on your device. All functionality is performed in your browser without any external communication.

What the Extension Does

Shorts++ adds keyboard controls (Arrow Left/Right keys) to YouTube Shorts videos. The extension:

• Listens for keyboard events on YouTube Shorts pages
• Controls video playback position locally
• Does not communicate with any external servers
• Does not track your browsing habits
• Does not collect any analytics or usage data

Permissions

The extension requires access to https://www.youtube.com/shorts/* to:

• Inject a content script that listens for keyboard events
• Access the video element to control playback position
• Intercept arrow key events before YouTube's default handlers

This permission is scoped only to YouTube Shorts pages and is necessary for the extension's core functionality.

Third-Party Services

The extension does not use any third-party services, analytics tools, or external APIs. All code runs locally in your browser.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
