SpoilerGuard
Privacy policy
Last updated: 1 October 2026
Short version: SpoilerGuard does not collect, send, sell or share anything about you. Your lists and settings stay in your own Chrome. There is no account, no sign in and no tracking.
What SpoilerGuard looks at
On youtube.com, SpoilerGuard reads the title, channel name and upload date of the videos on your screen. It checks them against your lists to decide what to cover. This all happens inside your browser. Video titles, what you watch and what you search for are never sent to us or to anyone else.
AI powered hiding, when you switch it on, also runs inside your browser. Everything it needs comes with the extension, so it does not send titles anywhere either.
What SpoilerGuard saves
It saves your lists, your settings, and the videos and channels you chose to always show. These are kept in Chrome's own extension storage on your computer. We cannot see them. If you remove the extension, Chrome deletes them.
When SpoilerGuard goes online
- Community made lists. When you open that tab, SpoilerGuard downloads the list of shared lists from our public GitHub page. Nothing about you is sent with it. GitHub may keep normal web logs, like for any website you visit. See the GitHub privacy statement.
- Sharing a list. If you click to share a list, SpoilerGuard opens a GitHub page with that list filled in. Nothing is sent unless you choose to submit it there yourself, and anything you submit is public.
What we never do
- We do not collect personal information, browsing history or viewing history.
- We do not use analytics, ads or tracking of any kind.
- We do not sell or hand over data to anyone, because we do not have any.
- We do not need access to your YouTube or Google account.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
