Privacy Policy — Smart PiP Video Player

Last updated: October 13, 2026

Smart PiP Video Player is a Chrome extension that helps users open supported webpage videos in Chrome's native Picture-in-Picture window and control playback.

Information processed

When you use the extension on a webpage, it may read standard HTML video element information needed to provide its features. This can include a video's title or accessible label, media source URL, dimensions, playback status, current playback time, duration, and mute status. This information is processed locally in your browser to identify videos and operate the controls.

The extension saves your preferences (such as whether the on-video PiP shortcut is enabled) using Chrome's local extension storage.

How information is used

Video element information is used only to identify supported videos, display their basic details in the extension popup, and perform user-requested Picture-in-Picture and playback actions. Settings are used to remember your extension preferences.

Collection, sharing, and sale

The extension's current version does not send video information, page content, browsing history, or saved preferences to the developer or to a remote analytics or advertising service. The developer does not sell this information or share it with third parties.

Storage and retention

Preferences are stored locally by Chrome on your device. The extension does not maintain a developer-operated database of video information. You can remove saved extension data by removing the extension or clearing its stored data through Chrome.

Permissions

The extension uses access to the active tab and webpage video elements to provide its user-requested Picture-in-Picture features, and Chrome storage to save preferences. Access is subject to Chrome's restrictions and the capabilities of each website. The extension does not attempt to bypass DRM, paywalls, authentication, or website security controls.

Children's privacy

The extension is a general-purpose browser utility and is not designed to collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the extension's functionality or data practices change. The revised policy will be published at this same URL, with an updated date.
