Your privacy choices and rights
The Surprise Me! extension operates with minimal data interaction. You can use Netflix and YouTube without installing our extension, and you have complete control over the extension's access through your browser settings. No personal information is required to use the extension.
Our extension doesn't use cookies or store any personal data. All preferences are stored locally in your browser and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings. The extension will continue to function normally even after clearing local storage, simply resetting any genre preferences you may have set.
We do not collect any data for marketing purposes, and we don't share any information with third parties. The extension's functionality is completely local to your browser.
Your Choices
Given that our extension doesn't collect or store personal data, many standard data rights don't apply. However, you still have important rights regarding the extension's usage:
You have complete control over the extension's access to Netflix and YouTube through your browser settings. You can disable or enable the extension at any time, and you can uninstall it completely to remove all local preferences.
The extension only accesses publicly visible content on Netflix and YouTube to provide its random selection functionality. We don't track, store, or process any personal information about you or your viewing habits.
We don't maintain any user database or cloud storage. All functionality happens locally in your browser, meaning there's no personal data to correct, port, or erase.
For any questions or concerns about privacy and your rights, please contact us at kunalb.design@gmail.com. We're committed to maintaining transparency and protecting your privacy while providing a helpful streaming experience.

Your Rights
How secure is the data we collect?
The Surprise Me! extension was built with security and privacy as fundamental principles. Since all data (consisting only of basic preferences) is stored locally in your browser and never transmitted elsewhere, there are no external security risks to consider. We don't maintain any servers, databases, or cloud storage systems that could be compromised.
Your privacy and security are inherently protected by this local-only design. The extension only interacts with publicly visible content on Netflix and YouTube, and all processing happens within your browser. There's no personal data collection, no data transmission, and no external storage to secure.
However, if you have any security concerns or questions about how the extension works, please contact us immediately at kunalb.design@gmail.com
We're committed to maintaining complete transparency about our privacy and security practices.
Where do we store the data?
The Surprise Me! extension is designed with a strict local-only approach to data handling. All functionality and storage occurs entirely within your browser's local storage system. We don't maintain any external servers, databases, or cloud storage solutions. The only data stored consists of basic preferences like genre filters, which are kept locally in your browser and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
This local-only design choice was made intentionally to ensure maximum privacy and security while still providing seamless functionality for random content selection on Netflix and YouTube. You have complete control over this data through your browser's settings, and no information ever leaves your browser or gets transmitted to external locations.
How long do we store your data?
The Surprise Me! extension only stores basic preferences locally in your browser. This data remains in your browser's local storage until you choose to clear it through your browser settings or uninstall the extension. Since we don't collect or store any data on external servers, there's no long-term data retention to consider.
When you uninstall the extension or clear your browser data, all extension-related preferences are immediately and permanently removed. We have no backup copies, archives, or stored versions of your data, as we never collect or transmit any information in the first place.
Cookies
The Surprise Me! extension doesn't use cookies or any similar tracking technologies. As a privacy-focused extension that operates entirely within your browser, we've designed it to function without the need for cookies or external data storage.
No browser cookies are created, modified, or accessed by our extension. The only storage used is your browser's local storage for maintaining basic preferences like genre filters. This local storage is entirely different from cookies and doesn't track or store any personal information.
You don't need to manage any cookie settings for our extension, as we don't use them. The extension will work perfectly regardless of your browser's cookie settings. We believe in keeping things simple and privacy-focused.
Making this policy great
This privacy policy is designed to be clear, transparent, and simple to understand. It reflects our commitment to protecting your privacy while providing a helpful browser extension. We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or functionality, though given our local-only approach and minimal data handling, significant changes are unlikely.
Any updates to this privacy policy will be reflected with a new "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Since we don't collect email addresses or maintain user accounts, we encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
