Video Stats — Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Video Stats is a Chrome extension that overlays real-time technical playback statistics (resolution, frame rate, codec, bitrate, buffer health, and similar metrics) on top of video elements on the page you're viewing.

What data we collect

None. Video Stats does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal, sensitive, or browsing data, and it has no server or backend of any kind.

What the extension stores locally

The extension uses Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API to remember your display preferences on your own device only:

• Light/dark theme selection
• Chosen font and text size
• Which stat fields are shown, and in what order

This data never leaves your browser, is never transmitted anywhere, and contains nothing about you personally — only interface preferences.

What the extension reads from web pages

To display playback statistics, the extension reads information already exposed by the browser's standard HTMLVideoElement and MediaSource APIs for video elements present on the page (e.g., resolution, playback rate, buffered ranges, codec information). This information is displayed to you locally in the overlay panel and is never stored beyond the current page session or transmitted anywhere.

Third parties

Video Stats does not use any analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking services. It makes no network requests of its own.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will be revised accordingly.
