Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 28, 2026
Introduction
Dislikes ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy policy explains how our application accesses, uses, and protects your Google user data.
Data We Access
Our application requests access to the following Google user data through the YouTube Data API:
- Your YouTube rating history (specifically identifying videos you have disliked).
- Basic video metadata (titles, channel names, thumbnails, view counts).
We use the youtube.readonly scope to ensure read-only access to your data.
How We Use Your Data
The data we access is used solely to provide the core functionality of the application: displaying, searching, and sorting your list of disliked videos. This processing happens entirely within your web browser.
Data Protection & Security
We do not store your personal YouTube data on any servers. All information is fetched directly from Google's APIs and resides only in your browser's temporary memory while the app is open.
To protect your sensitive data, we implement the following:
- Encryption: All communication between your browser and Google is encrypted via TLS/HTTPS.
- Local Processing: Data is processed entirely on your local device.
- Token Security: Authentication tokens are stored in your browser's local storage and used only to authorize requests to Google on your behalf.
Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, or trade your Google user data with any third parties. Your data never leaves the connection between your browser and Google's official endpoints.
User Control
You can revoke access at any time by:
- Clicking "Sign out" within the application.
- Removing access in your Google Account Security settings.
Retention & Deletion
We follow a strict minimization policy:
- User Data: We hold no permanent record of your data. Browser memory is cleared when the tab is closed.
- Tokens: Authentication tokens are retained locally to keep you signed in. You can delete them by signing out.
