PairedPlay - Watch Together (“PairedPlay”, “we”, “our”, or “the extension”) is a browser extension designed to help users synchronize video playback (play, pause, and seek) with others in real time on supported streaming platforms.
We value your privacy and are committed to transparency. This policy explains what data we do and do not collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.
PairedPlay uses secure third-party authentication providers (Google Sign-In) via Chrome's Identity API. The extension does not access or store user passwords. Authentication tokens are used only to enable premium features and room access. PairedPlay does not collect, store, or process any other personally identifiable information (PII), credentials, browsing history, or location data, except as outlined below.
The extension currently does not require user authentication to use its core features. It requires authentication only for premium features.
The extension uses the browser's local storage to temporarily store:
This data is stored only on the user's device and is not transmitted or shared.
PairedPlay uses Supabase as a backend service to support:
We only store the user's unique identifier, and email. Room information is session-based, and real-time events are not persisted. Supabase does not receive browsing history, website content, or video playback data. All data transmitted via Supabase is encrypted in transit.
On supported streaming websites, PairedPlay temporarily reads:
It can also programmatically access and press play, pause, and seek button elements on the pages to synchronize playback. This functionality is essential for the core purpose of the extension.
The extension might also read metadata such as video titles to display in the room interface. It can also read the current URL to identify the streaming platform being used.
The extension injects UI elements into supported websites solely to display its interface. It does not read, collect, or store website content, video data, or user interactions outside the extension's functionality.
This access is limited to the active tab, initiated by user interaction, and used solely for synchronization.
The extension enables real-time reactions and chat messages during shared viewing sessions.
Reactions and chat messages are transmitted in real time using Supabase Realtime channels and are not permanently stored by the extension or its servers. Messages and reactions exist only temporarily in memory to enable live interaction and are discarded once the session ends. We do not analyze, log, or profile user messages or reactions.
PairedPlay does not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties. No data is sold or used for advertising or tracking. Chrome web store might collect some anonymized usage statistics as per their own privacy policies.
Reasonable measures are taken to ensure local data remains on the user's device and that backend communication is encrypted.
PairedPlay does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.
This policy may be updated if new features are introduced. Users are encouraged to review it periodically.
Netflix, Jio-Hotstar, Disney+ Hotstar, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max and other third-party streaming platform names and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners. PairedPlay is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these companies. All trademarks are used solely for the purpose of identifying supported services.
