Privacy Policy for YouTube Live Translator

Effective date: June 20, 2026

```

Summary: YouTube Live Translator is a Chrome extension that translates spoken audio from the active YouTube video into the user’s selected language. The extension does not sell user data, does not use user data for advertising, and does not send user data to the developer.

1. Extension Purpose

YouTube Live Translator has one primary purpose: to translate spoken audio from the active YouTube video into the user’s selected language in real time and play the translated voice in the browser.

2. Data Handled by the Extension

The extension may handle the following data only when required for its translation function:

User-provided API key
Selected target language
Original video audio volume setting
Translated audio volume setting
Audio captured from the active YouTube tab after the user starts translation
Detected speech and translated text shown temporarily in the extension interface

3. How Data Is Used

The data is used only to provide the live translation feature selected by the user. The API key is used to connect to the external live translation service. Audio from the active YouTube tab is processed only during an active translation session.

4. Local Storage

The extension stores the user’s API key, language preference, and audio volume settings locally in Chrome storage on the user’s device. This allows the user to avoid entering the same settings repeatedly.

The developer does not receive, collect, or remotely store the user’s API key or local extension settings.

5. Audio Processing

When the user clicks “Start Translation,” the extension captures audio from the active YouTube tab and sends it directly to the external AI translation service endpoint used by the extension. The translated audio and transcription results are returned to the browser and displayed or played to the user.

Audio capture stops when the user clicks “Stop,” closes the tab, or ends the translation session.

6. Third-Party Sharing

The extension sends audio data and related translation requests only to the external AI translation service required to provide the live translation function. This transfer is necessary for the extension’s single purpose.

The developer does not sell, rent, trade, or transfer user data to advertising networks, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.

7. No Advertising Use

User data is not used for personalized advertising, retargeting, interest-based advertising, or creditworthiness evaluation.

8. No Human Reading of User Data

The developer does not access, review, or read the user’s audio, API key, translation transcripts, or browsing activity.

9. Data Retention

The extension does not create a permanent translation history. Transcripts shown in the popup are temporary during the active session. Locally stored settings remain on the user’s device until the user clears extension data, removes the extension, or changes the saved settings.

10. Security

The extension uses secure connections when communicating with the external translation service. API keys and settings are stored locally in Chrome storage and are not sent to the developer.

11. Chrome Web Store Limited Use Disclosure

The use of information received from Chrome extension permissions and Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

User data is used only to provide or improve the extension’s single purpose, which is live audio translation for YouTube videos. User data is not sold, transferred for advertising, used for unrelated purposes, or accessed by humans except where required by law or security obligations.

12. User Control

Users can stop translation at any time by clicking the “Stop” button. Users can also remove the extension or clear Chrome extension storage to delete locally stored settings.

13. Children’s Privacy

The extension is not directed to children under the age of 13. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
