隱私權政策
適用於 Chrome 擴充功能「TubeGist — YouTube Summary Sidebar」
一句話總結
- 不蒐集任何個人資料,也沒有伺服器可以蒐集。
- 你的 Anthropic API 金鑰只存在你自己的瀏覽器裡。
- 影片文字稿只會傳送給 Anthropic(你自己設定的 API),不會傳給我們或任何第三方。
- 沒有帳號、沒有登入、沒有使用行為追蹤、沒有分析工具。
我們是誰
TubeGist 是一個 Chrome 擴充功能,會在 YouTube 影片頁面加入一個側邊欄,讀取該影片的文字稿並整理成摘要,附上可點擊跳轉的時間戳記。
我們不會蒐集什麼
TubeGist 不會蒐集、儲存、出售或傳輸任何使用者個人資料給開發者或任何第三方(Anthropic 除外,且僅限你主動觸發摘要時)。具體來說:
- 我們沒有後端伺服器。TubeGist 完全在你的瀏覽器本機端執行。
- 我們不會建立使用者帳號,也不需要登入。
- 我們不會安裝任何分析或追蹤工具(沒有 Google Analytics、沒有像素、沒有遙測)。
- 我們看不到你摘要過哪些影片、你的文字稿內容,或你的 API 金鑰。
你的 API 金鑰如何處理
TubeGist 採「自備金鑰」(Bring Your Own API Key)模式:
- 你的 Anthropic API 金鑰只會儲存在瀏覽器本機儲存空間(
chrome.storage.local),不會同步到雲端,也不會傳送到我們手上。
- 金鑰唯一會被使用的時機,是當你在 TubeGist 側邊欄按下「Summarize」時,由你的瀏覽器直接呼叫 Anthropic 的 API 端點(
api.anthropic.com),使用你自己的金鑰付費。
- 移除擴充功能或清除瀏覽器資料,即可完全刪除本機儲存的金鑰。
影片文字稿與摘要內容如何處理
- 當你按下摘要按鈕,TubeGist 會讀取目前 YouTube 分頁提供的字幕/文字稿,連同你設定的語言偏好,直接從你的瀏覽器傳送給 Anthropic 的 Claude API 產生摘要。
- 這些內容不會先經過我們的伺服器(因為我們沒有伺服器),也不會被我們保存、記錄或用於任何其他用途。
- 該次請求會受 Anthropic 的隱私權政策規範,因為你是直接與 Anthropic 的 API 互動。
我們使用的權限
- storage:在本機儲存你的 API 金鑰與偏好設定(語言、模型選擇等)。
- activeTab / scripting / tabs:讀取目前 YouTube 分頁的文字稿,並在你點擊時間戳記時控制影片播放進度跳轉。
- sidePanel:在瀏覽器側邊顯示摘要介面。
- host permission(youtube.com):讀取影片文字稿。
- host permission(api.anthropic.com):使用你自己的金鑰呼叫 Claude API 產生摘要。
- host permission(api.gumroad.com):只在你於設定頁輸入授權金鑰並按下啟用時,向 Gumroad 驗證該金鑰是否有效。
付費與授權
TubeGist 提供每日 3 次免費摘要額度;如需解鎖無限次數,採用單次付費(非訂閱制)。金流由 Gumroad 處理(有其獨立的隱私權政策)。當你啟用授權時,你輸入的授權金鑰會傳送至 Gumroad 的驗證端點(api.gumroad.com)確認有效性;驗證結果只儲存在你的瀏覽器本機,我們不會收到任何資料。
兒童隱私
TubeGist 並非設計給兒童使用,也不會刻意蒐集兒童的個人資料。
政策異動
若本政策有重大變更,我們會更新此頁面頂端的「最後更新」日期。建議你在使用擴充功能前,先確認此頁面內容。

Privacy Policy
For the Chrome extension "TubeGist — YouTube Summary Sidebar"
TL;DR
- We don't collect any personal data — we don't even have a server to collect it on.
- Your Anthropic API key stays on your own device.
- Video transcripts are sent only to Anthropic (using your own API key), never to us or any other third party.
- No accounts, no login, no behavioral tracking, no analytics.
Who we are
TubeGist is a Chrome extension that adds a side panel to YouTube video pages. It reads the video's transcript and turns it into a summary with clickable, jump-to timestamps.
What we don't collect
TubeGist does not collect, store, sell, or transfer any personal data to the developer or any third party, other than Anthropic (and only when you actively trigger a summary). Specifically:
- We run no backend servers. TubeGist executes entirely on your local browser.
- We don't create user accounts and don't require login.
- We don't run any analytics or tracking (no Google Analytics, no pixels, no telemetry).
- We cannot see which videos you've summarized, your transcript content, or your API key.
How your API key is handled
TubeGist is a "Bring Your Own API Key" product:
- Your Anthropic API key is stored only in local browser storage (
chrome.storage.local). It is not synced to any cloud service and never reaches us.
- The key is used only at the moment you click "Summarize" in the TubeGist panel — your browser calls Anthropic's API endpoint (
api.anthropic.com) directly, billed to your own Anthropic account.
- Uninstalling the extension or clearing browser data permanently deletes the locally stored key.
How transcripts and summaries are handled
- When you click Summarize, TubeGist reads the captions/transcript already available on the current YouTube tab, along with your language preference, and sends it directly from your browser to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the summary.
- This content never passes through any server of ours (we don't operate one), and is never stored, logged, or used by us for any other purpose.
- That request is governed by Anthropic's Privacy Policy, since you are interacting directly with Anthropic's API.
Permissions we use
- storage: save your API key and preferences (language, model choice, etc.) locally.
- activeTab / scripting / tabs: read the transcript from the active YouTube tab, and seek the video when you click a timestamp.
- sidePanel: display the summary UI in the browser's side panel.
- Host permission (youtube.com): read the video transcript.
- Host permission (api.anthropic.com): call the Claude API using your own key to generate the summary.
- Host permission (api.gumroad.com): verify your license key with Gumroad, only when you enter a key on the options page and click Activate.
Payment & licensing
TubeGist offers 3 free summaries per day. Unlocking unlimited use is a single one-time purchase (no subscription), processed by Gumroad (see Gumroad's privacy policy). When you activate a license, the key you enter is sent to Gumroad's verification endpoint (api.gumroad.com) to confirm its validity; the result is stored only in your local browser storage and nothing is sent to us.
Children's privacy
TubeGist is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
