Privacy Policy — YT Transcript Scraper
This extension reads transcripts in your own browser, on your own connection. There is no account, no server of ours that watches you use it, and nothing at all is sent anywhere unless you press something that asks for it.
What it reads
- The caption text of a YouTube video, after you ask for it — by clicking Scrape Transcript, by giving it a list of links, by pressing a button on one of the sites listed further down, or by sending a link from a phone you paired.
- Your own YouTube Studio content list — video titles, ids, links and visibility — and only when you press Load my video list for the Names → Links feature. This works because you are already signed in; the extension is reading a page you can see.
What stays on your computer
All of this is kept in your browser's own storage (chrome.storage.local).
None of it is sent to the developer, and none of it can be read by anyone else:
- the most recent transcript, so the popup can show it to you again
- your video list from YouTube Studio, for matching names to links
- the ids of videos already downloaded, so a batch never downloads the same one twice
- the batch queue and Tella job list, so a long job survives Chrome shutting the extension down and starting it again
- anything you have typed into the extension but not yet run
- a random device id for the Phone feature, which is what your paired phone talks to
Removing the extension, or clearing its storage, deletes every bit of it.
The only times something leaves your browser
Each one happens because you started it, and only then:
1. Handing a transcript to a page you are already on
When you press a button on one of these sites, the extension scrapes the transcript and gives it to that page — in the same tab, in front of you:
- pulltranscript.com transcript tool
- devrant.99dfy.com video editor
- wisekid.99dfy.com children's video quizzes
- painfinder.99dfy.com audience research
- course.99dfy.com course lesson quizzes
- tellatotube.up.railway.app video uploader
2. Tella → Council
If you paste a Tella call link, that link is sent to
tellatotube.up.railway.app, which uploads the recording to
your own YouTube account as unlisted. The transcript is then sent to
The Closer's Council to write a follow-up message back to you. Nothing here runs on its
own — it starts when you paste a link and press the button.
3. The Phone feature
Turned off unless you turn it on. When you pair a phone with the six-digit code, this
computer checks pockettranscript.up.railway.app for links your phone has
sent, scrapes them here, and posts the finished transcript back to that queue so your
phone can collect it. The pairing is a random id held on this computer. Switching the
feature off stops all of it immediately.
Signing in to YouTube
Connect your YouTube uses Google's own sign-in screen. The extension never sees your Google password and never stores it. The access is used for one thing: uploading the video you asked it to upload. You can withdraw it at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
What this extension never does
- No analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising, no profile of you.
- Nothing is sold, rented, or shared with any third party.
- The developer has no way to read your transcripts — there is no account to log in to and no copy kept anywhere he can reach.
- It does not read, or ask to read, any page other than the ones named on this page.
- It does not run in the background on ordinary browsing.
Children
The extension is a tool for people making and studying videos. It is not directed at children and asks for no personal details from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If the extension ever starts doing something that is not described here, this page is updated first, with the date at the top changed. The version it applies to is named at the top too.
