Privacy Policy — Sattva

Short version

Sattva collects no personal data and has no accounts. To score how well a video matches your chosen goal, the titles and channel names of the video cards currently on your screen are sent to Sattva’s own backend, which scores them using an AI provider and caches the result. Nothing that identifies you is ever collected — no account, no IP-linked profile, no watch history.

What Sattva stores locally

Three things, saved on your device through Chrome’s storage.local API:

• the goal you picked (for example, “Clear-minded”)
• your override strength setting (No override, Halfway, or Full override)
• whether the extension is currently active or paused

What Sattva sends, and to whom

On youtube.com, the extension reads the title and channel name of the video cards visible on the page and sends them to Sattva’s backend (sattva-api.vercel.app) to be scored against your chosen goal. That backend:

• forwards the title and channel name to Groq, an AI inference provider, to judge how well the video matches each of the seven goals
• stores the resulting scores in a database (Supabase), keyed only by YouTube’s own video ID — never by your identity

No account, device ID, IP address, or any other identifier is stored alongside a video’s score. The cache exists so that once any video has been scored, it’s never sent to Groq again — you benefit from every prior score without your device being the one that requested it. Sattva cannot tell which scores came from which user, because it never records that association in the first place.

Sattva does not send your watch history, subscriptions, account details, comments, or any page outside youtube.com. It only ever sends what’s already publicly visible on the video card: a title and a channel name.

What Sattva changes

It reorders the recommendation cards on YouTube pages you visit, blended with their existing order rather than replacing it. It does not hide videos, block channels, click anything on your behalf, or send any signal back to YouTube. Pause it or uninstall it and your feed goes back to normal on the next refresh.

Permissions

• storage — saves your goal and settings so you don’t re-pick them every time.
• host permission for https://www.youtube.com/*— required to read and reorder the cards on YouTube pages. This is the only site Sattva runs on.
• host permission for https://sattva-api.vercel.app/*— required to send video titles/channels for scoring and receive the result back.

Third parties

Two, both scoped narrowly to the function described above:

• Groq— receives video titles and channel names to score them. Does not receive anything that identifies you as a person.
• Supabase— stores the video_id → score cache. Does not receive anything that identifies you as a person.

No analytics services, no advertising networks, no tracking pixels, no remote code execution beyond the scoring call described above.

Children

Sattva does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The data sent (public video titles and channel names) is never linked to any individual, of any age.

Deleting your data

Your local settings: uninstall the extension, or use Chrome’s “Clear browsing data” for extension storage. The video score cache holds no data tied to you specifically — there’s nothing keyed by your identity to delete, because none was ever collected.

Changes

If Sattva’s data flow changes again, this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the change will be described in the store listing.
