Reset My YouTube Feed (“the extension”), published by Sphnix, Inc. (“we”, “us”), is a browser extension that reformats YouTube's subscription and channel pages into a clean, single-column list view, with optional filters (hide Shorts, keyword blacklist, and more). This policy describes what data the extension and our website (resetmyfeed.app) handle, and where it goes.

What the extension stores (locally, on your device)

Saved in your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local); not synced to any account:

• Your settings — view mode, layout, theme/skin, and filter preferences.
• Your blacklist — the keyword/channel terms and presets you configure.
• A description cache — short video descriptions fetched from YouTube (see below), capped and auto-expiring.
• A small error log — the extension's own internal warnings/errors (capped, de-duplicated); no personal content.
• Premium only: your license key and the signed entitlement token returned by our server, so Premium stays unlocked between sessions.

You can clear all of this by removing the extension.

Network requests the extension makes

• Video descriptions (all users). To show each video's description inline, the extension fetches the YouTube watch page for that video (a same-origin request to youtube.com) and reads the description text (shortDescription in the page JSON, falling back to og:description). The HTML is parsed for the description string only — never executed. Results are cached locally.
• License activation & validation (Premium only). If you enter a license key to unlock Premium, the extension contacts our license API at https://www.resetmyfeed.app and sends your license key, a random per-install device identifier (a hash used to bind the license to your installation), and the extension version. Our server verifies the key and returns a short-lived signed entitlement token, on activation and periodically to re-validate. If you do not buy or enter a license, none of this occurs.

The extension makes no other network requests, and contains no analytics, telemetry, advertising, or usage tracking.

Data handled by our website (only if you purchase)

Payments are processed by Stripe on our website — never inside the extension. When you buy Premium:

• Stripe collects and processes your payment details. We never receive or store your full card number.
• We receive and store your email address (from Stripe checkout) and an encrypted copy of your license key, so we can email you your key and let you recover it later. The key is stored encrypted; a separate hashed form is used for lookups. It is never stored in plaintext.
• We store your subscription / customer / entitlement records (plan, status, expiry) to issue and manage your license.

We use this data only to deliver and manage your license. We do not sell or share it, and we run no advertising or third-party behavioral analytics on it.

Website analytics

Our website (resetmyfeed.app) uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic — pages viewed, approximate location, and device/browser type. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes this data as our processor (see Google's privacy policy). This applies to the website only — the extension itself contains no analytics. You can opt out with Google's opt-out browser add-on or your browser's cookie controls.

What we do NOT do

• We do not sell your data.
• No advertising and no ad networks.
• No remote code. All of the extension's logic ships inside the extension bundle; fetched YouTube HTML is parsed as text, never run.
• No management permission — we do not read your list of installed extensions.

Permissions

The extension requests only the permissions it needs to run on YouTube and apply your layout.

Data retention & your choices

• Local data (settings, blacklist, cache, error log, license token): clear it any time by removing the extension.
• Purchase data (email, encrypted license key, license records): kept while your license is active and as required for legal/accounting purposes. To access, correct, deactivate, or delete your purchase data, contact us at privacy@resetmyfeed.app.

Children's privacy

The extension is not directed to children and collects no personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at the URL where you found it, with a new effective date.
