# Privacy Policy — Glint

_Last updated: 12 November 2026_

Glint ("the extension") is a browser extension that changes the visual appearance of the YouTube Live Chat panel.

## Summary
**Glint does not collect, store on any server, sell or share any personal data.**

## What the extension stores
The extension saves the following **only on your own device**, using the browser's local extension storage (`chrome.storage.local`):

- Your preferences: selected theme, font size, density, effects and background settings.
- The background image you choose (resized and compressed on your device).

This data never leaves your browser. It is removed when you uninstall the extension, or when you click **Reset to defaults** / **Remove** in the extension popup.

## What the extension accesses
- The extension runs only on YouTube live chat pages (`https://www.youtube.com/live_chat*` and `https://www.youtube.com/live_chat_replay*`).
- It reads the on-screen layout of the chat (for example, which messages come from the same person, or the colour tier of a Super Chat) solely to apply visual styles.
- It does **not** read, record, store or transmit the content of chat messages, your YouTube account, your viewing history or any other browsing data.

## Network requests
The extension makes no network requests to any external server. Fonts and images used by the themes are bundled inside the extension package.

## Third parties
No data is shared with third parties. The extension contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code.

## Children's privacy
The extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

## Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same address with a new "Last updated" date.
