Privacy Policy

Am I Subscribed? Chrome Extension  ·  Last updated: June 2026

Overview

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.

Data collected and stored

The extension reads and locally caches two types of data, both stored exclusively on your device:

No account credentials, watch history, video data, or personally identifiable information is ever read or stored.

Network requests

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.

How to delete your data

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.

Analytics and telemetry

None. The extension contains no analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry of any kind.

Third-party services

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.

Children's privacy

The extension does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to this policy

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.
