Privacy, made simple.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the Ambient Flow Chrome browser extension and its associated website. By installing or using Ambient Flow, you acknowledge this policy.

Our goal is simple: provide an enhanced video viewing experience without unnecessarily collecting or sharing your personal information.

Information We Access

Ambient Flow accesses limited information necessary to provide its ambient lighting functionality.

Video content and colors

While you use the extension on YouTube, Ambient Flow accesses the currently playing video to sample visual colors and generate the surrounding ambient lighting effect.

Extension preferences

Ambient Flow may store your preferences, including ambient lighting status, intensity, blur level, and other customization settings.

Personal information

Ambient Flow does not require you to create an account or provide your name, email address, phone number, or other personal details to use its core functionality.

How Information Is Used

Information accessed by Ambient Flow is used only to provide its intended functionality.

• Analyze video colors to generate ambient lighting.
• Update the lighting effect as video scenes change.
• Save and restore your extension preferences.
• Apply your selected display and focus settings.

We do not use video content or sampled colors to create advertising profiles or track your viewing interests.

Data Storage and Processing

Ambient Flow is designed to process video colors locally within your browser.

Video frames and sampled color information are processed in the browser to generate the ambient lighting effect. They are not uploaded to Ambient Flow servers.

Extension preferences are stored locally using Chrome extension storage. These settings remain within your browser profile and are not sent to our servers.

We do not maintain a server-side database of your video content, YouTube watch history, or personal viewing activity.

Data Sharing and Selling

Ambient Flow does not sell, rent, or share personal information with advertisers, marketing companies, or data brokers.

We do not transmit your video content, sampled video colors, YouTube watch history, or extension preferences to third parties.

If our data practices change in the future, this policy will be updated to accurately explain those changes.

Third-Party Services

Ambient Flow operates as a browser extension and works with YouTube pages to provide its intended functionality.

YouTube and Google are third-party services governed by their own privacy policies. Ambient Flow is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.

Our associated website currently uses Google Fonts to display its typography. When visiting the website, your browser may request font files from Google, which may receive standard technical connection information.

For more information, review Google's Privacy Policy ↗ .

Browser Permissions

Ambient Flow requests browser permissions only as necessary to provide its features.

YouTube access

Used to interact with the YouTube video player and process visual information for ambient lighting.

Storage access

Used to save your extension preferences so your customized experience can be restored.

We aim to use the minimum permissions necessary for the extension's functionality.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information handled by Ambient Flow.

Local processing reduces the need to transmit video-related information to external servers. However, no software or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Ambient Flow is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. The extension does not require users to submit personal information to access its core features.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the extension's functionality, data practices, or applicable requirements change.

Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised update date.

We encourage users to review this page periodically.
