Data accessible through WebExtensions API

WebExtension APIs used within extensioon have fine-grained permission levels that are enforced by the Web Browser, restricting information that our extension has access to within your browser. The PocketTube extension can only access specific information that you have explicitly granted permission for. We can not and do not track your browsing history.

Additional optional permissions may be requested when you enable specific features. When you enable a feature that requests an optional permission, your web browser will make it clear what permission(s) are being requested. The feature will be accessible once you choose to allow the requested permission(s).

Google Drive API

We use only Application Data folder in Google Drive Api. The 'Application Data folder' is a special folder that is only accessible by your application. Its content is hidden from the user, and from other apps. Despite being hidden from the user, the Application Data folder is stored on the user's Drive and therefore uses the user's Drive storage quota. The Application Data folder be used to store files with collection list, image list and configuration data.

We use Youtube API for reading your youtube subscription list. We don't change, update or delete any data.
