Privacy Policy

Overview

Netflix Speed Controller is a free browser extension. It is designed with a strict commitment to user privacy: it does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data whatsoever, and it never contacts a server. The only data it writes is your own settings, stored on your device — plus, if you explicitly enable it, the playback speeds you have chosen. See Data Storage for exactly what that includes.

Data Collection

We do not collect any data. Specifically:

• No personal information is collected
• No usage analytics or crash reports are transmitted
• No user identifiers are created and no cookies are set
• No fingerprinting techniques are used
• Nothing is ever sent off your device

Data Storage

All extension data is stored locally on your device only, using Chrome's built-in storage.sync and storage.local APIs. Two kinds of data are stored:

• Your settings — default speed, presets, overlay options, keyboard shortcuts, theme and language.
• Remembered playback speeds — only if you turn on Remember Playback Speed, which is off by default.

About remembered speeds

If you additionally enable Remember Speed Per Title, the extension saves the name of each show or movie you adjust the speed on, paired with that speed, so it can restore it next time. This means a list of titles you have watched and changed the speed on is kept on your device. Please be aware of this before enabling the setting.

• It is written to storage.local and is never synced to your Google account and never leaves your device.
• Only titles whose speed you changed are recorded — not your general viewing history.
• The list is capped at 300 titles; the least recently used entries are discarded automatically.
• Turning the setting off stops new entries being recorded. Reset to Defaults in Settings erases the entire list immediately, as does uninstalling the extension.

Note: If you have Chrome Sync enabled, Google may sync your settings across your devices. This is a browser feature not controlled by this extension. Remembered speeds are excluded from this.

Network Requests

This extension makes zero external network requests. It does not communicate with any server or third-party service. All functionality runs entirely on your local machine.
