Effective date: 11 November 2026
Scoop is published by ToolShip.app. Contact: scoop@toolship.app.
Transcripts, chapters, comments and resources are read from the page data YouTube already loads in your browser. Copying and exporting happen in your browser. Your preferences are kept on your device.
Scoop sends anonymous usage statistics to our server: which features are used, whether things worked, basic technical details such as the extension version, and your approximate country. They use a random install id that is not linked to your Google account or your email address. This is on by default. To turn it off, click the gear icon in the panel and untick "Share anonymous usage stats". "See what Scoop sends" in the same view shows what is waiting to be sent.
We collect your email address only if you type it into Scoop. You may also choose a profession; this is optional. We use your address to send what you asked for, such as a transcript or your confirmation code, and occasional Scoop updates. The first message to a new address contains only a confirmation link. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. We keep your address until you ask us to delete it. If you unsubscribe, we keep the address only so we never email it again.
If you use "Email me", the transcript is sent from your browser to our server and then to your inbox. It is deleted after delivery. We do not read or keep copies. Nothing is sent to our server unless you use this feature.
We use an email delivery service and our own server. We do not sell your data and do not use it for advertising.
Transcripts waiting for delivery are deleted after delivery, and in any case within 24 hours. Email addresses are kept until you ask us to delete them. Anonymous statistics are kept without a fixed deletion date; they never include your email address, video details or transcript text.
Scoop asks only for what it needs: storage on your device, a timer to send statistics in batches, and access to YouTube and our server. It loads no remote code.
You can turn off statistics at any time, unsubscribe from any email, and ask us to delete your email address or tell you what we hold about it. Write to us from the address in question.
Scoop is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect their email addresses.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new effective date.
