Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 28, 2025

Overview

yt2brave is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our macOS application handles information when you use our service to redirect YouTube links to your preferred browser.

Information We Do NOT Collect

yt2brave is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

  • Your browsing history or URLs you visit
  • Personal information or identifiers
  • Usage analytics or telemetry data
  • Device information beyond what's necessary for app functionality
  • Network activity or internet traffic
  • Any data that could identify you personally

How yt2brave Works

yt2brave operates entirely on your local device:

  • Local Processing: All URL monitoring and redirection happens locally on your Mac
  • No Network Communication: The app does not send any data to external servers
  • Browser Integration: Uses standard macOS APIs to interact with Safari and your chosen browser
  • Sandboxed Operation: Runs in a secure sandbox environment with minimal system permissions

Permissions and Access

yt2brave requires the following permissions to function:

  • Apple Events: To read the current Safari tab URL and control browser applications
  • Accessibility: To control your browser application

These permissions are used solely for the app's core functionality and never for data collection.

App Store and Payment Processing

yt2brave uses Apple's App Store and StoreKit 2 for purchase processing. Any payment information is handled entirely by Apple according to their privacy policy. We do not have access to your payment details or personal information from App Store transactions.

Third-Party Services

yt2brave does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The app operates independently without external dependencies that could compromise your privacy.

Data Security

Since yt2brave does not collect or store personal data, there is no risk of data breaches or unauthorized access to your information. All app preferences are stored locally on your device using standard macOS security practices.

Children's Privacy

yt2brave does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app's functionality does not require or involve any data collection that would be subject to COPPA regulations.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Since yt2brave does not collect personal data, changes are unlikely to affect your privacy significantly.
