Bulk Unsub Tool — last updated September 2026

Bulk Unsub Tool ("the extension") is a Chrome extension that lets you view and unsubscribe from your YouTube channel subscriptions in bulk. This page explains what data the extension accesses and how it is used.

What data we access

When you click "Connect and load my subscriptions," the extension asks you to sign in with your Google account through Google's own sign-in screen. You explicitly grant (or deny) access — the extension never sees your Google password.

Once authorized, the extension uses the official YouTube Data API v3 with the youtube.force-ssl scope to:

• Read the list of channels you are subscribed to (channel name, description, thumbnail, subscription date)
• Remove subscriptions you explicitly select for unsubscribing

What we don't do

• We do not operate any server. The extension talks directly, from your browser, to Google's own API — no data passes through us or any third party.
• We do not collect, sell, or share your data with anyone.
• We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising of any kind.
• We do not access your email, contacts, or any other Google data outside of YouTube subscriptions.

Data storage

Your subscription list is temporarily kept in your browser's session storage (chrome.storage.session) so it survives closing and reopening the extension window. This data is automatically erased when you close your browser and is never sent anywhere outside your own device.

Data protection

We apply the following measures to protect your data, including the sensitive data accessed through the youtube.force-ssl scope:

• Encryption in transit — every request between your browser and Google's YouTube API is made over HTTPS/TLS. We never transmit data over an unencrypted connection.
• No persistent storage — we do not operate a server or database. Your subscription list exists only in your browser's temporary session storage and is erased automatically when you close your browser. Nothing is written to disk or stored remotely by us.
• Credential security — your Google sign-in and OAuth access token are handled entirely by Chrome's built-in Identity API. The extension never sees, stores, or transmits your Google password.
• Narrowest scope — we request only the youtube.force-ssl scope, the minimum needed to list and remove subscriptions. We cannot access your email, contacts, Drive, or any other Google data.
• No third-party access — data flows exclusively between your browser and Google's own servers; it is never routed through, or made accessible to, us or any other party.

Permissions used

• identity — to sign you in with your Google account via OAuth.
• storage — to temporarily keep your loaded subscription list during your browsing session.
• system.display — to correctly size and position the extension's window on your screen.
• Host permission (googleapis.com) — to call the YouTube Data API.

Revoking access

You can revoke the extension's access to your Google account at any time from myaccount.google.com/connections.
