Privacy Policy
Last Updated & Effective Date: October 6, 2026
Our Privacy Guarantee: 100% Client-Side Operation
CwinScraper operates with a strict privacy-first architecture. We do NOT collect, harvest, transmit, store, sell, or monetize any of your personal data, browser history, cookies, or personal identity.
1. Scope of the Application
CwinScraper operates exclusively as a client-side browser productivity extension. It enables content creators, digital marketers, and market researchers to inspect and export publicly accessible YouTube channel video statistics (titles, URLs, view counts, like counts, and comment counts) into standardized files (Excel, CSV, JSON).
2. What Data Is Processed and How It Is Used
- Public YouTube Video Metadata: When you activate CwinScraper on a YouTube channel page, the extension queries public video elements and watch pages solely from YouTube's public web responses. This data remains 100% on your local machine in your browser's private IndexedDB storage.
- User Preferences: Your display preferences (dark/light theme, selected language, scrape throttling speed) are saved locally using
chrome.storage.local. - Optional YouTube Data API v3 Key: If you optionally provide your own Google YouTube Data API Key in Settings, it is saved locally on your device and sent directly from your browser to Google's official endpoint. We never intercept, log, or store your API key.
- Optional Pro License Verification: If you activate a Pro license, your license key and an anonymous installation identifier are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS to our Cloudflare Worker licensing proxy solely to verify active subscription status with Creem.io. No browsing or channel data is ever transmitted.
3. Storage, Retention, and Deletion
All gathered data, session logs, and settings reside in your browser's local sandbox:
- You can purge individual scrape sessions or your entire history at any time inside the "History" tab.
- Uninstalling the extension permanently eradicates all local databases and settings from your machine.
4. Third-Party Web Services & Secure Payment Processing
The extension and website interface with vetted, industry-leading infrastructure partners:
- YouTube / Google LLC: To fetch public channel video listings and metrics on demand. Subject to official YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
- Creem (Creem.io) — Merchant of Record: Our authorized Merchant of Record responsible for processing subscription and license payments under strict PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance. CwinScraper NEVER captures, stores, or has access to your full credit card numbers, CVVs, or financial credentials. Creem manages payment security, invoicing, and refunds in accordance with Creem's Privacy Policy.
