What the Extension Does
YT Bulk Uploader is a browser extension that lets you upload multiple videos in bulk to YouTube Studio from a local folder. Here is exactly what it does:
- Opens YouTube Studio in a browser tab.
- Reads video files you select from your device using the browser's File System Access API.
- Injects those files directly into YouTube Studio's native upload dialog — exactly as if you had dragged and dropped them manually.
- Monitors upload progress inside YouTube Studio's interface to manage successive batches.
The extension performs no other operations. It has no user accounts, no dashboard, no backend.
No Data Collected
The extension does not collect, log, or transmit any of the following:
- Personal identifiers (name, email, Google account, etc.)
- Names, metadata, or content of the video files you select
- URLs or browsing history
- Performance or telemetry data
- Location or device data
- Error logs sent to any server
- Cookies or advertising trackers
Required Permissions
The extension requests the following permissions, each strictly necessary for it to function:
| Permission | Reason | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|
activeTab |
Detect whether the active tab is YouTube Studio before acting | None |
scripting |
Inject files into YouTube Studio's upload dialog | None |
tabs |
Open YouTube Studio and detect when the page is ready | None |
host: studio.youtube.com |
Restrict script access to YouTube Studio only | None |
These permissions do not allow the extension to read your emails, access other websites, or monitor your browsing.
Local Processing Only
All processing happens inside your browser:
- Video files are read from your disk via the browser's File System Access API — they pass through no intermediary server.
- Files are passed directly to YouTube Studio's upload interface, which sends them to YouTube via your own account and connection.
- The extension stores no data between sessions. No database, no persistent localStorage, no cookies are used.
Third-Party Services
YT Bulk Uploader integrates no third-party services — no analytics, no tracking SDK, no external CDN, no advertising.
The only external service the extension interacts with is YouTube Studio (studio.youtube.com), and only as part of the action you trigger yourself. Your use of YouTube Studio is governed by YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.
Children's Privacy
This extension collects no data from anyone, regardless of age. It is not specifically designed for children, but poses no data-collection risk to minor users.
Policy Changes
If the extension's behaviour were to change significantly — for example if a future version introduced any form of data collection — this policy would be updated accordingly and the revision date changed.
The fundamental commitment remains: no user data will ever be collected without explicit consent and prior update of this policy.
