Enhance
for Youtube Music™

Privacy, in plain language.

Privacy policy · Updated October 8, 2026 · Extension version 1.0.0.

Enhance customizes your YouTube Music home and player. Your preferences stay in your browser. Music requests go to YouTube and Google services. The extension has no developer-operated server, analytics or advertising.

What the extension accesses.

  • Preferences. Selected artist names, channel IDs and image URLs; home section titles, order and visibility; home filter visibility; and the player side-panel setting.
  • YouTube Music content. Home sections, saved playlists, listening history, artist information and music metadata, including titles, artwork, channels, links and durations. This content builds the personalized shelves, long listens and recommendations.
  • Searches. Artist names you enter or that come from your listening history, used to find artists, songs and sets.
  • Existing session information. The extension reads YouTube Music page configuration and an available authentication cookie in page memory to sign requests to YouTube Music. It does not ask for your password, store the cookie or authentication signature in extension storage, or send them to the developer.

It does not read your general browser history or operate on unrelated websites. YouTube responses may include account or playlist-owner display information; the extension does not create an account profile on a developer server.

Where requests go.

Authenticated requests go directly to music.youtube.com using your existing session. Public set searches send artist names to www.youtube.com without account cookies. Artwork loads from YouTube and Google image services, including ytimg.com, googleusercontent.com, ggpht.com and gstatic.com.

These services receive normal network information such as your IP address and request details. Their handling is covered by the Google Privacy Policy. The extension does not sell data, send it to data brokers, or use it for advertising, credit or lending decisions.

Storage and retention.

Preferences are saved locally in your browser profile until you change them or uninstall the extension. They are not synced by the extension and are shared across YouTube accounts used in that browser profile.

Music responses, library content and listening history are held in the page's memory until the tab is reloaded or closed. Reload the tab after switching YouTube accounts.

Public set results and request timing information are kept in temporary browser session storage. Results may be reused for 30 minutes; this is a freshness limit, not a deletion deadline. Session entries can remain until replaced or until the browser session ends or the extension is disabled, reloaded or removed.

Your controls.

Open the gear beside the profile area on YouTube Music to change your artists, sections and player settings. Export and import at the bottom of settings contain preferences only, not listening history or authentication cookies. An exported file remains wherever you save it until you delete it.

Disabling the extension stops its activity after open YouTube Music tabs are reloaded. Uninstall it to remove its saved local preferences. This does not delete your YouTube account, playlists or history; manage those through YouTube or Google.

Permissions and limited use.

The storage permission saves preferences and temporary results. Access to www.youtube.com enables public set searches. Scripts on music.youtube.com add the settings interface and personalized shelves.

Data is used only to provide these visible features. Enhance's use and transfer of data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. The developer does not receive or review your listening activity through the extension.

Contact and changes.

For support or privacy questions, email [email protected]. If you contact support, your email address and the information you choose to send are handled through Gmail to respond to your request. You can request deletion of that correspondence.

Changes to this policy will appear on this page with a revised date. This is an independent extension, not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google. YouTube and YouTube Music are trademarks of Google LLC.
