OverallTube Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-02-20

What this extension does

OverallTube adds an AI panel on YouTube watch pages and generates a summary, critical review, or Q&A response based on the video transcript.

Data we process

• User-provided API keys (Gemini and/or OpenAI).
• YouTube page URL and extracted transcript text for the current video.
• User prompts entered in Ask mode.
• Selected response language.

How data is used

• API keys are used only to call the selected LLM provider API.
• Transcript text and user prompts are sent to Gemini and/or OpenAI to generate responses.
• Response language is used to control output language.

Data storage

• API keys and language preference are stored locally in chrome.storage.local on the user's device.
• Temporary in-memory transcript cache is used only during extension runtime and is not persisted remotely.

Data sharing

• No data is sold.
• No analytics or advertising SDKs are used by default.
• Data is shared only with the AI provider chosen by the user:
  • Google Gemini API
  • OpenAI API

Data retention and deletion

• Users can remove stored API keys and preferences from extension storage at any time by clearing extension data in Chrome.
• The extension has no backend database and does not keep server-side user profiles.

Permissions rationale

• storage: save API keys and language preference locally.
• https://www.youtube.com/*: run content script on watch pages and read transcript context.
• https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/*: call Gemini API.
• https://api.openai.com/*: call OpenAI API.
