Boundless Insight Privacy Policy

Boundless Insight is a Chrome extension that adds a transcript panel and AI analysis tab to YouTube watch pages. This page explains exactly what data the extension touches, where that data goes, and what we will never do with it.

What the extension stores on your device

All data the extension keeps is stored locally in your browser. Two Chrome storage areas are used.

API keys (chrome.storage.sync)

When you paste an API key into the options page, that key is stored in chrome.storage.sync. This is Chrome's built-in synced storage that rides along with your Chrome profile. Keys sync across devices you are signed into with the same Google account. They survive extension reinstalls. We never see them.

The keys that live here are the ones you add yourself:

• Anthropic API key (if you chose Claude)
• OpenAI API key (if you chose GPT)
• Google Gemini API key (if you chose Gemini)
• YouTube Data API key (optional, enables top-comments context)

You can export a JSON backup of your keys from the options page. You can also delete every key from the same page, or uninstall the extension to remove them entirely.

Transcript and analysis cache (chrome.storage.local)

When you load a transcript or generate an analysis, the result is cached in chrome.storage.local so you do not have to regenerate it on every page reload. Cached entries are keyed by YouTube video ID and held for seven days. The cache is never uploaded anywhere. It exists only on the device that generated it.

Clearing Chrome's site data or uninstalling the extension removes the cache.

What the extension sends over the network

Boundless Insight makes network requests only to the services listed below. Every request goes directly from your browser. None of it is routed through a Boundless Creator server.

YouTube (youtube.com)

The extension fetches transcript data from YouTube's public endpoints on the watch pages you visit. No YouTube account credentials are accessed. No YouTube data is sent off-platform by the extension.

Your chosen AI provider

When you click Generate on the Analysis tab, the extension sends three pieces of data straight to the AI provider whose key you configured:

• The transcript of the video you are analyzing
• The top comments (only if you added a YouTube Data API key, and only from that specific video)
• The API key you pasted into options, sent as an authorization header

The destination depends on which provider you picked:

• Anthropic (Claude): api.anthropic.com
• OpenAI (GPT): api.openai.com
• Google (Gemini): generativelanguage.googleapis.com

Each provider has its own privacy policy that governs what happens to the data once it arrives. Please read their terms if you need to know what they retain or use for model training. Links:

• OpenAI Privacy Policy

YouTube Data API (optional)

If you added a YouTube Data API key, the extension calls googleapis.com/youtube/v3/* to fetch top comments for the current video. Only the video ID and your API key are sent. No other YouTube data or account information is touched.

Google Fonts

The extension loads its interface font from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Google may log the request in the standard way any webpage loading Google Fonts would. No identifying information about you or the video is attached to these requests by the extension.

What the extension does not do

• It does not collect analytics or usage statistics.
• It does not send crash reports, error logs, or telemetry to any server.
• It does not track the videos you watch or the analyses you generate.
• It does not create or require a Boundless Creator account.
• It does not share your data with advertisers, brokers, or third parties.
• It does not monitor your browsing outside of YouTube watch pages.

Your control over your data

You are in control of everything the extension stores.

• Clear your keys. Open the extension options page and use the delete or overwrite controls for each field.
• Clear your cache. Chrome's Site Settings page for YouTube lets you clear the extension's local storage. Uninstalling the extension also clears it.
• Uninstall. Right-click the extension icon in Chrome and pick Remove from Chrome. Every trace the extension added to your browser is removed.

Children

Boundless Insight is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them. The extension collects no personal information from any user, regardless of age.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the extension handles data, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. Material changes will also be noted in the extension's release notes on the Chrome Web Store.
