Distraction-Free for YouTube is a Chrome browser extension that helps users reduce distractions on YouTube by hiding UI elements and controlling video playback settings. This policy explains exactly what data the extension accesses, stores, and transmits.

required so the content script (which hides page elements) and the player script
(which controls video quality) can share settings synchronously without an
asynchronous message round-trip. These values are purely the user's own preferences
and are never read or transmitted by any party other than this extension.
chrome.storage.sync as described above.
Because no user data is collected, there is nothing to share, sell, or disclose to any third party. All extension functionality is entirely local to your browser.
If this policy is ever updated, the "Last updated" date above will change and the new version will be published at the same URL.
