Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-04-08
This Privacy Policy explains how NextWatch AI and its related website handle information when users visit the website, install the browser extension, and use its features.
Who we are
NextWatch AI is operated by Sidebrain. For privacy questions, contact: litesbook@hotmail.com.
What NextWatch AI does
NextWatch AI is a browser extension and related website experience designed to improve YouTube discovery, recommendation flow, audio control, and user convenience through a premium sidepanel-style interface.
Website and custom domain
The official NextWatch AI website is available at https://nextwatchaitool.com/. Website pages, policy pages, and hosted wrapper pages may be served through this custom domain and the infrastructure used to operate it.
Information that may be processed
- Current YouTube page context, such as the video title, channel name, page URL, and visible recommendation cards.
- User-entered prompts and actions inside the extension interface.
- Extension settings and preference data, such as theme, audio state, recommendation feedback, and similar user-facing controls.
- Basic website request data that may be collected by hosting, analytics, advertising, security, or platform infrastructure providers.
- Ad wrapper page requests when advertising features are enabled.
How information is used
- To operate the extension’s user-facing features, including recommendation ranking, navigation support, and audio controls.
- To remember settings and improve continuity across sessions.
- To maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and extension experience.
- To display clearly labeled advertising or sponsored placements where enabled.
Local storage and extension data
NextWatch AI may store settings, preferences, and learning-related signals locally in the user’s browser or extension storage so that features can continue working between sessions.
Advertising
If advertising is enabled, sponsored placements may be served through hosted wrapper pages and related advertising tools. Advertising partners or infrastructure providers may process request data according to their own policies and any applicable consent or legal requirements.
Third-party services
NextWatch AI may rely on third-party service providers for website hosting, CDN delivery, DNS, security, Chrome Web Store distribution, analytics, advertising infrastructure, and other technical services used to operate the product.
Data sharing
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, website delivery, analytics, advertising, security, and core product functionality, but only as reasonably necessary to operate the service.
Data retention
Extension-side local data is generally retained until the user clears it, resets extension storage, uninstalls the extension, or until the data is otherwise removed through product updates or normal technical operation.
User choices
- Users can uninstall the extension at any time.
- Users can clear extension state by removing extension storage or reinstalling the extension.
- Users can choose whether to interact with optional features such as prompts, settings, and ad-supported surfaces.
- Users can review this Privacy Policy on the public website at any time.
Children’s privacy
NextWatch AI is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly design the service to collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Analytics and extension usage events
NextWatch AI may use Google Analytics to collect privacy-safe extension usage events, such as when the extension panel is opened, when inline controls are used, when a video question feature is triggered, when transcript availability is detected, when timestamp jump support is used, or when recommendation cards are clicked.
These analytics events are used to understand feature usage, improve reliability, troubleshoot issues, and improve the product experience.
NextWatch AI does not use Google Analytics to send private YouTube transcript text, typed prompt contents, full YouTube watch history, Google account information, payment information, or personally identifying information. Analytics events may include non-sensitive event names, timestamps, general device/browser information, and an anonymous extension-generated user identifier.
Google may process analytics data according to its own policies, including Google’s explanation of how it uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we may revise the effective date shown on this page.
