What ActiveWatch Does
ActiveWatch turns YouTube lectures into interactive lessons. The Chrome extension adds a learning panel to YouTube so you can use generated check-ins, transcript-aware chat, chapters, and notes while watching.
Chrome Extension Data
The Chrome extension reads only the website content needed to run ActiveWatch on the current YouTube page: the current video ID, video title, playback time, playback state, and lecture/transcript context.
The extension does not collect browsing history across websites, location, health information, financial information, passwords, keystrokes, or general activity outside the ActiveWatch panel.
How We Use Information
We use the current YouTube video context to provide the ActiveWatch experience: showing the panel, syncing with the video, generating check-ins, answering questions about the lecture, and creating chapter or transcript-aware learning support.
We collect limited product analytics to understand whether the app is working, such as anonymous session identifiers, event names, video IDs, counts, feature modes, and status/source fields. We do not include transcript text, chat message text, emails, passwords, or saved notes in these analytics events.
We do not sell user data. We do not use user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
Service Providers
ActiveWatch uses service providers to operate the product, including hosting and AI processing. Current video context and user prompts may be sent to these providers only to generate the learning features you request.
Chrome Extension Permissions
The extension runs on YouTube pages so it can detect the current video, read the page title and playback time, and show the ActiveWatch panel. It connects to the hosted ActiveWatch app at activewatch.vercel.app.
Your Choices
You can close or disable the extension panel at any time, and you can remove the extension from Chrome. If you use optional account features in the hosted ActiveWatch app, those features are only used to save or restore your learning experience.
