Is Clarify Al: YouTube Summaries safe?
Clarify AI sends YouTube transcripts and Google OAuth codes to its own backend, which may retain persistent Google refresh tokens.
When a user requests a summary, the extension collects the video transcript, title, video ID, and duration and transmits them to clarify.up.railway.app for AI processing. The extension also handles Google sign-in by forwarding the OAuth authorization code to the vendor backend, which exchanges it with Google using offline access — meaning the vendor backend may hold a persistent Google refresh token. No evidence was found of additional data collection beyond the summarization and authentication flows.
