RatioYT Privacy Policy

Overview

RatioYT is designed with privacy as a foundational principle. We believe browser extensions should respect user agency, minimise network footprints, and operate without tracking, analytics, or data harvesting.

Zero Telemetry & No Personal Data → RatioYT does not collect, log, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information, browsing history, keystrokes, mouse events, accounts, or analytics. There are no tracking scripts, third-party cookies, or analytics SDKs anywhere in the extension or userscript.
Network Requests → RatioYT makes outbound network requests exclusively to two public endpoints:

(1) Return YouTube Dislike API (https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com/) — Public queries containing only the YouTube video ID to fetch public like/dislike counts. No user accounts or personal metadata are attached to these calls.

(2) RatioYT Config (https://ratioyt.bittu.dev/selectors.json) — Retrieves updated YouTube DOM selector strings to ensure badges continue displaying if YouTube alters its HTML markup. No user data is sent.
On-Device Local Storage → Ratings are cached locally in your browser's IndexedDB for up to 7 days so repeated video views skip the network entirely. Display preferences (format, color, score threshold, filter-only mode) are saved strictly inside your browser's local extension storage.
No Data Sharing or Monetisation → We do not sell, rent, trade, or transfer any user data to any third parties. We do not use data to profile users, determine creditworthiness, serve ads, or engage in lending.
Open Source & Auditable → RatioYT is 100% free software licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. The complete source code is public and fully auditable on GitHub.
