YT Link With TV Code (“the extension”)

Last updated: August 17, 2026

What this extension does

The extension lets you link a phone to Chrome with a YouTube TV pairing code and remote-control a YouTube tab (play, pause, seek, volume, queue).

Data we store on your computer

Settings are saved only in Chrome’s local extension storage on your device:

• TV name, screen id, and device id used for YouTube Lounge pairing
• Whether remote control is enabled
• Last volume and mute state
• Connection status (for example, whether a phone is linked)

This data stays on your computer. We do not operate a backend server that receives it.

Data sent over the network

To create a TV code and receive remote commands, the extension talks only to YouTube Lounge APIs on youtube.com / www.youtube.com. Playback is controlled in your YouTube tab. We do not send this traffic to any other company.

YouTube’s own privacy policy applies to data Google processes: https://policies.google.com/privacy

What we do not collect

• Google / YouTube account passwords
• Browsing history outside YouTube tabs used for remote control
• Analytics, advertising identifiers, or crash-reporting accounts
• Personal contacts, location, or payment information

Permissions

Storage, tabs, offscreen, alarms, notifications, scripting, and YouTube host access are used only to keep the pairing session alive and to control the YouTube player. They are not used to track you on other websites.

Sharing and sale of data

We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties.

Children

The extension is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top will be updated. Continued use of the extension after an update means you accept the revised policy.
