Privacy policy.

01 / Scope and purpose

This policy describes how Netflix Skip handles information when you use the Chrome extension. It also explains what happens when you visit this privacy page or choose to contact the developer. Netflix Skip is an independent extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Netflix, Google, or OpenAI.

02 / Information processed on your device

When enabled, the extension checks the Netflix page for the intro-skip and next-episode button elements and attempts to click them. This page interaction happens locally, approximately once per second. Button detection results are not saved as a viewing history or transmitted to the developer.

The extension reads Chrome’s interface language to choose Chinese or English when no language preference has been saved. Other interface languages fall back to Chinese. You may switch languages manually.

The extension does not collect or transmit your name, email address, Netflix credentials, cookies, payment information, video titles, browsing history, or viewing history. It does not include advertising, analytics, tracking pixels, remote code, or a developer-operated server.

03 / Local settings and their use

The extension uses chrome.storage.local for these preferences:

Changes apply to Netflix tabs in the same Chrome profile. The extension does not use Chrome’s storage sync API and does not implement cross-device or cloud synchronization. Its console messages report generic start, stop, and button-click events; they do not include account information or video titles and are not uploaded by the extension.

04 / Collection, sharing, and Limited Use

The developer does not receive the locally processed page information or stored preferences. The extension does not sell, rent, share, or transfer this information to advertisers, data brokers, analytics providers, or other third parties.

Netflix Skip’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Information handled by the extension is used only to provide its visible automatic-skipping and preference features, not for personalized advertising, unrelated profiling, or creditworthiness decisions. The developer does not remotely access or review the locally processed page information.

05 / Browser permissions

• Netflix website access: the content script runs on https://www.netflix.com/* to find and click the relevant playback buttons.
• Storage: saves and reads the local on/off and language preferences described above.
• Active tab and scripting: version 0.4 declares activeTab and scripting. The current implementation does not call these APIs; it uses the content script declared in the manifest. These declarations do not mean the extension collects information from other websites.

Browser permission prompts describe capabilities granted to the extension. This policy describes how the current version actually uses those capabilities.

06 / Your choices, retention, and deletion

You may turn automatic skipping off at any time using the extension’s switch. Turning it off stops its button-scanning timer and automatic clicks while retaining your preferences. You can change your language selection in the popup.

Preferences remain in extension-local storage until changed or cleared. Removing the extension through Chrome removes its local extension settings from that Chrome profile. Reinstalling starts with default settings unless Chrome restores settings through a browser-managed mechanism. There is no developer-held user database to request access to or deletion from.

07 / Security and children

Processing is performed within Chrome’s extension environment. The extension does not transmit its locally handled information, so it does not operate a data-transfer endpoint or a remote account system. Local settings remain subject to the security of your device and Chrome profile; no software can guarantee absolute security.

The extension does not request age information or intentionally collect personal information from children. Netflix account access, content restrictions, and parental controls remain governed by Netflix and your browser settings.

08 / This page and independent services

This privacy page is hosted on GitHub Pages. Opening it sends a normal website request to GitHub, which may process technical request information such as an IP address under the GitHub Privacy Statement. This page includes no analytics, cookies, embedded media, external fonts, or third-party scripts of its own.

Netflix and the Chrome Web Store operate independently and may handle information under their own privacy policies. This policy covers Netflix Skip’s behavior, not those services.

09 / Contact and policy changes

For privacy questions, contact IceCokei through the GitHub issue tracker. GitHub issues are public: do not include passwords, account details, or other sensitive information. Information you voluntarily post is processed by GitHub and may be read by the developer to respond to your request.

This policy may be updated when the extension or its data practices change. Updates will be published at this URL with a revised date. Material changes to data handling will also be disclosed as required by Chrome Web Store policies.
