Privacy policy

Updated 4 November 2026. Covers the Loop YouTube Chrome extension and this website, oneclickloop.com.

The extension

The extension collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere. It has no analytics, no account and no servers.

• It works only on www.youtube.com. It switches YouTube's own loop on in the tab where you ask for it, and reads nothing else from the page.
• It keeps two things in Chrome on your device: whether one-click mode is on, and which open tabs are looping. The second is forgotten when you close the browser.
• Right after you install it, Chrome opens our welcome page. After you remove it, Chrome opens our goodbye page with the extension's version number in the address (for example /bye?v=1.0.0). Nothing else is in those addresses.

This website

We use PostHog (EU cloud, Frankfurt) to count a few anonymous events:

• a visit to the home page, with the page that linked to it (without its query string);
• whether the looper started a video or could not play it (for example, when the owner blocks playing it on other sites);
• clicks on the Chrome Web Store link;
• one event when the welcome page opens after an install, and one when the goodbye page opens after a removal, with the extension version.

If you fill in the goodbye form, your chosen reason and your optional comment are sent the same way. We try to remove email addresses and phone numbers from the comment before it is sent, but please don't put names, contact details or links in it.

With each event PostHog also records what any website sees: browser, operating system, device type, screen size and language. Your IP address is used only to make a daily anonymous code, so that two events from the same browser on the same day count as one visitor; it is then discarded. It is not stored and we don't work out your location from it.

We set no cookies and store nothing in your browser, so these counts cannot recognise you on a later visit. We never send the videos you loop, their links or titles. There are no session recordings or heatmaps, no tracking of clicks other than the store link above, and no ads.

The looper and YouTube

The looper on the home page plays videos in YouTube's embedded player, in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Nothing from YouTube loads until you press Loop. The player is YouTube's: when you play a video, YouTube receives your request and may store data in your browser under its own rules. See Google's privacy policy. The video's id appears after the # in this page's address so you can share the loop; browsers never send that part to a server.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Netlify, which processes your IP address to serve the pages and keeps short-lived server logs for security and operations. We do not use those logs to track anyone.

Who is responsible, why, and for how long

• The controller is the developer of Loop YouTube, reachable at privacy@oneclickloop.com.
• Legal basis: our legitimate interest in knowing whether the extension and the site work and why people remove the extension (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). For the goodbye form, also your choice to send it.
• Processors: PostHog Inc. (analytics, data stored in the EU) and Netlify Inc. (hosting, USA, under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses).
• Retention: analytics events and form answers are kept for up to 12 months, then deleted. We do not sell or share them.
• Your rights: you can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it or to stop processing it. Because we record no identity, we can usually only find a form answer if you tell us roughly when you sent it and what it said. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
