Clickbait Score is a Chrome extension that scores a YouTube video's title against its transcript and lets you download the transcript as a .txt file. This policy explains exactly what data the extension touches and where it goes.
When you open a YouTube watch page and run the extension, it reads the following from that page:
It does not read other tabs, browsing history, account details, comments, watch history, or any other YouTube data.
The extension uses chrome.storage.local to remember two things between sessions: your OpenRouter API key and your selected model. Both stay on your device. They are never synced, never sent to me, and never sent to anyone other than OpenRouter (where the key is meant to be used).
When you ask for a score, the extension sends one HTTPS request to OpenRouter containing:
OpenRouter returns the score, which is shown in the popup. That is the only outbound request the extension makes. There is no analytics, no tracking, no telemetry, and no server operated by me.
The data sent to OpenRouter is handled under their privacy policy and the policy of whichever model provider you select. Please review OpenRouter's privacy policy if that matters to you.
No personally identifiable information, health data, financial data, location data, browsing history, keystrokes, clicks, scroll activity, or personal communications are collected or transmitted. The extension does not sell or transfer any user data, and does not use data for any purpose unrelated to scoring the title against the transcript.
Uninstalling the extension clears its local storage and removes everything it kept on your device. Anything you previously sent to OpenRouter is governed by their retention policy, not mine.
