Shelf: Playlist & Channel Exporter for YouTube — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
Shelf is a browser extension that loads and exports the list of videos in the YouTube playlist or channel you are viewing. This policy says what it does with data.
What Shelf handles
- The videos of the list you open. Shelf loads the list from YouTube, the same way the YouTube page does. When you are signed in to YouTube, that includes your own private playlists, which YouTube serves to you as it does on its page. The list stays in your browser tab and is gone when you leave the page. It is saved only to a file you export or to your clipboard when you copy it.
- Purchase status. If you buy Shelf Pro, the extension keeps a key and your purchase status in your browser’s extension storage so that Pro stays unlocked.
- How many times you exported. Shelf counts your exports in the same storage, only to ask once, after the second, whether you would review it on the Chrome Web Store. The count never leaves your browser.
Shelf has no servers of its own. It collects no browsing history, no analytics and no personal data, and it reads no site other than youtube.com and extensionpay.com.
Payments
Shelf Pro is sold through ExtensionPay (extensionpay.com), which uses Stripe for the payment. When you buy, ExtensionPay collects your email address and Stripe collects your payment details. The extension never sees your card. ExtensionPay (https://extensionpay.com) and Stripe (https://stripe.com/privacy) are responsible for that data.
ExtensionPay’s library uses Chrome sync storage for its purchase key, cached purchase information and installation time when available, so Chrome may synchronize those fields across your signed-in browsers if sync is enabled. Captured content and export counts do not use sync storage.
Sharing
Shelf does not sell data. Apart from the payment services and Chrome sync described above, it does not share data with anyone, or use it for anything but the features above.
