# Privacy Policy for NonSlop

**Effective Date:** August 23, 2026

## 1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing to use **NonSlop – Mark YouTube Videos as Slop** ("NonSlop", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience while using our Chrome extension.

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use NonSlop.

## 2. Information We Collect

NonSlop is designed to respect your privacy. We minimize the data we collect.

*   **Video Interaction Data:** NonSlop allows you to mark YouTube videos as "slop." When you interact with this feature, the extension may communicate with a backend service to log your vote (e.g., associating a video ID with a "slop" mark). This data is crowdsourced and aggregated to display community consensus.
*   **Local Storage Data:** We use Chrome's `storage` API to store your local preferences or status (such as whether you have marked a particular video). This information is kept on your device.
*   **Active Tab URL:** We use the `activeTab` permission to identify when you are on a YouTube video page (`https://www.youtube.com/watch*`) so that the extension's features can be activated. We do not track your broader browsing history.

We **do not** collect personal identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address.

## 3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
*   To provide and maintain the core functionality of the extension (allowing you to mark videos and view community ratings).
*   To improve the extension's performance and user experience.

## 4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties. 
Aggregated, anonymized statistics about which videos are marked as "slop" may be publicly available to other users of the extension, as that is the core purpose of the tool.

## 5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free.

## 6. Your Choices

You can stop all collection of information by the extension by uninstalling it. You may use the standard uninstall processes available as part of your web browser. 
You can also clear the extension's local data by clearing your browser's local storage/extension data.

## 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the extension to stay informed about our information practices.
