Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to M3U8 Scanner. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our browser extension and web Scanner. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

Data Collection

M3U8 Scanner is designed with privacy in mind. Here's what we DO and DON'T collect:

What We Don't Collect:

• Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Browsing history or activity
• Video URLs you play
• IP addresses or location data
• Cookies or tracking data
• Analytics or usage statistics

What We Store Locally:

• Recently played video URLs (stored only in your browser's local storage)
• User preferences and settings (stored only on your device)
• Extension configuration (never transmitted to any server)

All data stored is kept locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

How We Use Your Information

Since we don't collect any personal data, there's no information to use, share, or sell. The extension operates entirely on your device:

• Video playback happens directly in your browser
• All processing is done locally on your device
• No data is sent to external servers
• Your viewing habits remain completely private

Permissions

M3U8 Scanner requires certain browser permissions to function properly:

• Storage: To save your preferences and recently played videos locally
• Active Tab: To interact with the current tab for video playback

These permissions are used solely for the functionality of the extension and do not enable any form of tracking or data collection.

Third-Party Services

M3U8 Scanner uses the following open-source library:

• HLS.js: An open-source JavaScript library for playing HLS video streams. This library runs entirely in your browser and does not transmit data to any servers.

When you play a video, the video content is streamed directly from the video provider's server to your browser. We have no access to or control over this content.

Your Rights

As we don't collect personal data, there's no data to request, modify, or delete. However, you have complete control over the extension:

• You can clear local storage at any time through your browser settings
• You can uninstall the extension at any time
• You can disable specific permissions if desired

Children's Privacy

M3U8 Scanner does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect any personal data at all, our service is safe for users of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
