Sift: YouTube Comment Search, Finder & Exporter — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
Sift is a browser extension that loads, searches and exports the comments of the YouTube video you are watching. This policy says what it does with data.
What Sift handles
- Comments of the video you open. Sift loads the video’s public comments from YouTube, the same way the YouTube page does. They stay in your browser tab and are gone when you leave the video. They are saved only to a file you export yourself.
- Purchase status. If you buy Sift 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. Sift 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.
Sift 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
Sift 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
Sift 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.
