AI YouTube Shorts Focus
Last updated: October 7, 2026
AI YouTube Shorts Focus is a Chrome extension that allows users to choose a topic and focus their YouTube Shorts experience on content related to that topic.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the extension, why it is processed, and how it is handled.
Depending on how you use the extension, we may process the following categories of information.
The extension operates on YouTube pages because access to YouTube content is necessary for its primary functionality.
The extension may read and process information available on YouTube pages or associated network responses in order to identify, filter, and navigate YouTube Shorts related to the topic selected by the user.
The extension is not designed to create a general browsing history of websites unrelated to its functionality.
The extension's content scripts are limited to YouTube pages required for the product's core functionality.
AI YouTube Shorts Focus may react to user actions such as clicks, keyboard input, scrolling, and navigation while the extension is active on YouTube.
These actions are processed only when necessary to provide navigation and filtering functionality and are not used to create advertising profiles.
Information is processed only for purposes related to the operation and improvement of AI YouTube Shorts Focus, including:
Topic text entered by a user may be sent through our backend to a third-party artificial intelligence service in order to interpret or expand the topic into search terms or other information used by the extension.
We currently use DeepSeek for AI-powered topic processing.
We do not intentionally send your email address to the AI provider as part of topic-processing requests.
Email verification is optional.
If you choose to verify an email address, the email address and temporary verification information are processed for the purpose of sending and validating a verification code.
We currently use Google's Gmail SMTP infrastructure to send verification emails.
The extension uses Chrome extension storage to save information required for normal operation.
This may include installation information, access state, user-selected topics, YouTube locale, and local navigation or seen-video state.
Local storage allows the extension to maintain functionality across tabs and browser sessions.
The extension may use access to the active browser tab when the user interacts with the extension.
This access is used only when necessary to determine whether the active tab is a supported YouTube page or to navigate the user to YouTube as part of the user-requested Focus Shorts workflow.
The extension communicates with:
Communication with our production backend is performed over HTTPS.
Our backend services are hosted on server infrastructure operated for AI YouTube Shorts Focus.
We use Cloudflare for services including network routing, security, and protection of our public backend.
Infrastructure providers may process technical information such as IP addresses and HTTP request metadata as necessary to provide their services.
We do not sell, rent, or trade user personal information.
Information may be shared with service providers only when reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, or improve the extension's user-facing functionality.
These providers may include:
Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or integrity of the service.
We do not sell user data.
We do not transfer user data to data brokers.
We do not use user data for personalized advertising.
We do not use user data for determining creditworthiness, lending eligibility, or financial decisions.
User data is used and transferred only as necessary to provide or improve the core user-facing functionality of AI YouTube Shorts Focus, maintain security, prevent abuse, and provide user-requested features.
The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
User data is not used or transferred for purposes unrelated to the extension's primary functionality.
AI YouTube Shorts Focus does not intentionally execute remotely hosted JavaScript or WebAssembly as part of the extension.
Executable extension code is packaged with the extension. Communication with our backend and external services is used to exchange data required by the extension's functionality, not to download executable extension code.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the extension, provide access, maintain security, prevent abuse, comply with applicable legal obligations, and resolve technical problems.
Temporary authentication or verification information may expire automatically when it is no longer required.
Local extension data may remain in Chrome extension storage until it is removed by the extension, cleared by the user, or deleted when the extension is uninstalled, subject to Chrome's storage behavior.
Communication between the production extension and our backend uses HTTPS.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no internet-based service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
You may stop using AI YouTube Shorts Focus at any time by disabling or uninstalling the extension from Chrome.
Email verification is optional unless a particular feature explicitly requires verified access.
You may contact us regarding personal information associated with your email address or to request deletion where applicable.
If you want to request deletion of personal information associated with your use of AI YouTube Shorts Focus, contact us using the email address listed below.
Please provide enough information for us to identify the relevant data without sending sensitive information that is not necessary for the request.
AI YouTube Shorts Focus is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If we become aware that personal information was collected in circumstances where deletion is required by law, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
We may update this Privacy Policy when the extension, our infrastructure, third-party services, or applicable requirements change.
The latest version of this Privacy Policy will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
