🖥️ How SubExtractor Works

SubExtractor operates entirely within your browser:

• Accesses publicly available caption data from supported video platforms
• Processes caption information locally on your device
• Stores processed captions temporarily in your browser's local storage
• Automatically cleans up stored data to prevent memory issues
• Never transmits any data to external servers

🌐 Third-Party Services

SubExtractor interacts with video platforms (YouTube, Dailymotion, JW.org) only to:

• Access publicly available caption/subtitle files
• Retrieve video metadata necessary for caption synchronization

These interactions are governed by the respective platforms' privacy policies. SubExtractor does not share any information with these platforms beyond what's necessary for basic functionality.

💾 Data Storage

All data processing and storage occurs locally:

• Local Storage: Captions and preferences stored in Chrome's local storage
• Automatic Cleanup: Old caption data is automatically removed
• No Cloud Storage: No data is uploaded to any cloud services
• User Control: You can clear all stored data by uninstalling the extension

🔐 Security

We implement security best practices:

• Content Security Policy (CSP) to prevent malicious code execution
• Minimal permissions required for functionality
• No external script loading or third-party integrations
• Regular security audits and updates

👤 User Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights don't apply. However:

• Transparency: This policy clearly explains our practices
• Control: You can uninstall the extension at any time
• No Tracking: We can't identify or track individual users
• Local Data: All extension data is under your control in your browser
