Privacy policy

Last updated November 8, 2026

ShuffleShows is a browser extension operated by Dincer Labs. This policy covers the extension and this website.

The short version

• Everything the extension stores stays in your browser, on your computer.
• We do not run servers for the extension, and it sends nothing to us or anyone else.
• No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking, and no sale or sharing of data.

What the extension stores, and where

The extension saves the following in Chrome’s extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your device:

• Your lists: their names, the shows, playlists, channels and single items in them, and their episode lists (ids, season and episode numbers, titles).
• Your favourites (starred episodes) and weights.
• A list of recently played episodes (up to 500), used to avoid repeats.
• Your settings (for example Channel mode and the countdown length).
• If you use Smart lists: the suggested lists from your last scan. Your raw watch history is not saved.

This data is never uploaded. If you remove the extension, Chrome deletes it. You can also clear the play history from the extension’s settings, and saved suggestions from the Smart lists page.

How the extension reads episode lists and history

When you click “Add”, “Refresh” or “Scan”, the extension runs a small script in your own open Netflix or YouTube tab. That script asks the service for the same information the page itself loads (an episode list, a playlist, your viewing activity or watch history), using your existing sign-in, and passes the result back to the extension. Requests go only from your browser to that service. The extension never sees or stores your password. On YouTube, the request carries the same sign-in header YouTube’s own page sends, so that private playlists and your history can be read; it is computed in the tab and not stored.

During Channel mode, the extension checks the page you are watching for the end of an episode (for example the credits screen) so it can start the next pick. It does not record what you watch beyond the recently played list described above.

Permissions the extension asks for

• Storage and unlimited storage: to keep your lists on your device (large YouTube channels can have thousands of videos).
• Tabs and scripting: to see which show or playlist you have open, run the episode-list script in that tab, and open the episode you shuffled to.
• Access to netflix.com and youtube.com: the only sites the extension works on.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. Changes that would send any data off your device would require a new version of the extension and would be described here first.
