# Privacy policy

> Adios collects no personal data. This page states that in full.

## Data collected

None. Adios contains no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers and no user accounts, and the developer operates no server that Adios communicates with.

- No personal information is collected, stored or transmitted.
- No browsing history, no record of videos watched, no page contents.
- No device identifiers, no IP logging, no fingerprinting.
- No third-party SDKs, analytics libraries or advertising networks.
- No account, email address or sign-up.

## Data stored on the device

Three values, all local, none transmitted:

- The Auto or Manual mode preference.
- The count of videos used in the current calendar month, and which month that is, so the free allowance can reset.
- Whether the lifetime unlock has been purchased, as reported by Apple's App Store framework on the device.

These are held in the extension's local storage and the app's preferences. Deleting the app deletes them.

## Network connections

Adios makes no network requests to the developer, as no developer server exists.

The only traffic involved is Safari loading YouTube's player from YouTube, exactly as it would without Adios installed. Two third parties are involved in the ordinary way and under their own policies: **YouTube/Google**, who serve the video and the player, and **Apple**, who process the App Store purchase and its receipt. Payment details are handled by Apple and are never visible to Adios.

## Permissions

| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Content script on youtube.com | To detect a video page and insert the embed player. Scoped to youtube.com, with no access to any other site. |
| Local storage | The mode preference and the monthly video count. |
| Native messaging | So the extension and app can exchange setup and purchase status on the device. |

## GDPR, CCPA and children

Because Adios collects no personal data, there is nothing to access, export, correct or delete. No data-controller relationship arises from using Adios, there is no processing requiring consent, and no sale or sharing of personal information under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or comparable regimes. Adios is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from users of any age.

*Adios is a Safari extension for macOS 13+ that makes YouTube ads disappear by swapping in YouTube's own ad-free embed player. 30 videos per month free, then a one-time $4.99 purchase — not a subscription. Contact: adios.contact@pm.me*
