Hide Channels for Twitch & Kick is a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera and other Chromium-based browsers.
Controller: Craftory, a brand of Cerberus Dawid Szymański, ul. Hermanowska 103/18, 54-314 Wrocław, Poland, NIP 7842406338. Contact: contact@craftory.works.
In short
The extension collects no data about you. It has no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your list of hidden channels and categories and your settings are stored only in your browser and are never sent anywhere.
How the extension works
The extension runs on Twitch (twitch.tv) and Kick (kick.com). It reads the page you are viewing to find the names of channels and categories shown there, compares them with your list and hides the matching tiles, rows and sections. It also adds its own small buttons (the X used to hide something) to those pages.
All of this happens inside your browser. Nothing about the pages you visit, the channels you watch or the channels you hide is sent to us or to anyone else.
What is kept in your browser
In the browser's extension storage (storage.local):
- your list of hidden channels (login, display name, the date you added it, and whether it is hidden on Twitch, on Kick or on both);
- your list of hidden categories (name, its address on Twitch and Kick, the date you added it, the same switches);
- your settings (sites the extension works on, hidden sections, language, how hidden tiles look);
- one backup copy of the list, made automatically before an import.
This data never leaves your browser. Depending on the browser and its settings, the browser itself may include extension storage in its own backups or sync; that is handled by the browser vendor under its own privacy policy, not by us.
To delete it: remove the channels and categories in the extension's popup, or uninstall the extension, which deletes all of its data.
Updates of page rules
Twitch and Kick change their pages often. To keep working without waiting for a store update, the extension may periodically download a public file with page rules (which page elements are tiles, rows or sections) from our servers or from our public GitHub repository. This request contains nothing about you, your list or the pages you visit. Like every request on the internet, it reveals your IP address and browser version to the server that answers it (Craftory's hosting or GitHub), which process it only to deliver the file, under their own privacy policies.
Export and import
"Export" saves your list as a JSON file on your computer. "Import" reads a JSON file you choose and adds its entries to your list. The file stays where you save it; we never receive it.
What the websites can see
To hide things, the extension marks elements on the Twitch and Kick pages and adds its own buttons there. These marks are part of the page, so scripts of Twitch or Kick could technically detect that the extension is installed and which tiles it hides. The extension itself sends them nothing. Your use of Twitch and Kick remains subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
Permissions
- Storage: to save your list and settings in your browser.
- Access to twitch.tv and kick.com: to read the page you are viewing and hide what is on your list. The extension does not run on any other website.
Links to other sites
The extension contains links that open in a new tab: Craftory (craftory.works), the source code and issue tracker on GitHub, Ko-fi (to support the project) and an email link. Those sites have their own privacy policies; the extension sends them nothing when you open them.
Chrome Web Store
The use of information received by the extension adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The extension does not collect or use your data at all.
Contacting us
If you write to contact@craftory.works or open an issue on GitHub, we use what you send only to reply and keep it as long as needed for that. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering you (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)). GitHub processes issues under its own privacy policy.
This website
This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking. It is hosted on Cloudflare. To deliver the pages and protect the site from attacks, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, under its own privacy policy (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy). This is needed to keep the site running and secure (our legitimate interest, GDPR art. 6(1)(f)).
Children
The extension is not directed at children. Twitch and Kick set their own minimum ages.
Your rights
Because the extension does not send us any data about you, we hold no data about you from it. For emails you send us, under the GDPR you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or a copy of your data, by writing to contact@craftory.works. You can also lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland, uodo.gov.pl.
Changes
If the extension starts handling data differently, we will update this page, change the date above and describe the change in the extension's release notes.
