Am I Subscribed? is a browser extension that helps you identify which YouTube videos are from channels you follow. This policy explains what data the extension touches, where it stays, and what it never does.
The extension reads and locally caches two types of data, both stored exclusively on your device:
/@channelname)
of channels shown on your YouTube Subscriptions page
(youtube.com/feed/channels). These are captured as you scroll through
that page and stored in chrome.storage.local.
/channel/UCxxxxx) rather than the handle. The extension fetches
the corresponding YouTube channel page once per channel to resolve the handle, then
caches the result locally so the request is never repeated. See
Network requests below.
No account credentials, watch history, video data, or personally identifiable information is ever read or stored.
The extension makes background requests to https://www.youtube.com/channel/{id}
to resolve the canonical handle for channels whose home-feed cards do not include a
handle link. These requests are made at most once per channel (subsequent visits use
the local cache), are sent to YouTube's own servers only, and carry no data other than
the channel ID in the URL. No information is transmitted to any third party, and no
data leaves your device.
The extension does not use the YouTube Data API, does not authenticate with Google on your behalf, and does not make any requests beyond those described above.
Click the extension icon in your toolbar and press Clear data. This immediately removes all data the extension has stored — cached channel handles and the channel ID → handle mapping — from your browser.
None. The extension contains no analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry of any kind.
The extension interacts with YouTube / Google (youtube.com) in two ways: it reads the rendered HTML of pages you visit, and it makes background fetch requests to YouTube channel pages as described under Network requests above. No data is shared with any other third-party service.
The popup contains an optional link to Ko-fi for voluntary support. Clicking it opens Ko-fi's website in a new tab; the extension passes no data to Ko-fi.
The extension does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
If this policy is updated, the "Last updated" date above will change. Substantive changes will be noted in the extension's Chrome Web Store changelog.
