Privacy Policy: Lyrics for YouTube Music & Videos
Last updated: 2026-11-07
Lyrics for YouTube Music & Videos (“the extension”) shows lyrics for the song playing on YouTube and YouTube Music. This policy explains what data the extension handles.
Data the extension uses
- Video information: when a video or song starts, the extension reads the title, channel name, video ID and length from the page you are viewing. This happens only in your browser.
- Lyrics requests: to find lyrics, the extension sends the song's artist, title and length to LRCLIB (lrclib.net). LRCLIB receives the request the same way any website does, so it also sees your IP address.
- Google search: if you choose “Display in new tab”, your browser opens a Google search for the song. This is a normal Google search, and Google's privacy policy applies to it.
- License check: when you activate a license key, and about once a day after that while the extension is in use, it sends your license key (on activation only), a random install ID that the extension creates, and the license token to our license server at codeheda.pages.dev. The server stores a hash of each key (not the key itself), the install IDs that use it, the date it was issued, and the buyer name or order reference we record for it. The server, like any website, also sees your IP address when it receives these requests.
Data stored on your device
The extension saves the following in your browser's local extension storage:
- Lyrics you have looked up or saved, with the video ID, title, artist and scroll settings.
- Panel settings, such as text size, position and size.
- The date the free trial started, the random install ID, and the signed license token once you activate a key. The key itself is not stored.
Apart from the license check described above, this data stays on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else. You can delete it by removing the extension from your browser.
Purchases
If you buy a license key, the payment is handled by the payment provider you use: PayPal or Ko-fi. They collect the details they need to take the payment, and their privacy policies apply. We receive your name or username and email address from the payment provider, and we use your email address to send you your license key and answer questions about your order. We don't use it for marketing.
Data we do not collect
- No account or sign-in inside the extension.
- No analytics, tracking or advertising.
- No selling or sharing of personal data.
Permissions
- storage: saves your settings, saved lyrics and trial and license status on your device.
- contextMenus: adds the “Send selection to Lyrics panel” right-click option.
- Access to the lyrics service: needed to fetch lyrics from LRCLIB.
Children
The extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at the same address and the “Last updated” date will change.
