Comment Pulse Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 25, 2026

Comment Pulse helps users search, filter, export, and locally analyze public comment sections on supported websites.

Data Comment Pulse Processes

• Public comments from supported websites
• Public author display names shown with those comments
• Public reaction, like, reply, and timestamp metadata
• The current supported page URL, video ID, post ID, or thread ID needed to identify the comment source
• User actions inside the extension, such as searches, filters, sorting choices, fetch actions, and export actions

How Data Is Used

This data is used only to provide comment fetching, search, filtering, sorting, export, local caching, and local analysis features.

Local Storage

Fetched comments and user settings may be stored locally in the user's browser using browser extension storage and IndexedDB. Users can clear the local comment cache from the extension options page.

Backend Processing

For YouTube, Comment Pulse sends the current YouTube video ID to the Comment Pulse backend. The backend uses the YouTube Data API to fetch public comments. The YouTube Data API key is stored on the backend and is not included in the extension.

The backend may receive standard technical request data, such as IP address, request time, and user agent, as part of normal server operation and abuse prevention. This information is used for security, rate limiting, diagnostics, and service reliability.

Data Comment Pulse Does Not Collect

• Passwords
• Payment information
• Health information
• Private messages
• Emails, texts, or personal communications
• GPS location
• Authentication credentials

Data Sharing

Comment Pulse does not sell user data and does not share user data with advertisers. Comment Pulse uses a backend service only to fetch public YouTube comments and protect the YouTube API key.

Remote Code

Comment Pulse does not download or execute remote code. The backend returns comment data, not executable code.
