Data we collect
We collect nothing. Specifically:

- No data sent to external servers
- All video processing happens locally on your computer
How the extension works
The extension reads the current YouTube page URL and video metadata (title, duration, thumbnail) solely to display information in the popup. This data is never transmitted anywhere.
Downloads are processed by the SimplyClip Helper app running locally on your machine on port 9999. No data passes through any external server.
