Terms of service

Last updated 10 November 2026. Applies to DeVeil version 1.x.

These terms cover your use of the DeVeil Chrome extension and the deveil.app website. By installing or using DeVeil you agree to them. If you do not agree, please uninstall it.

What DeVeil is

DeVeil is a free browser extension that hides YouTube videos on your own screen, based on words and channels you choose. It changes only how YouTube looks in your own browser. It does not change anything on YouTube's servers, your YouTube account or anyone else's view.

Your licence to use it

You may install and use DeVeil for personal use, free of charge. The extension's source code is published under the MIT licence, which governs your rights to the code itself.

Using it properly

• Use DeVeil only to change what you see in your own browser. Do not use it to scrape, copy or collect YouTube content or other people's data.
• Do not try to break or overload the website, or use DeVeil in a way that breaks the law or YouTube's own terms.
• You are responsible for how you use YouTube. These terms do not change your agreement with YouTube or Google.

Hiding is a best guess

DeVeil decides what to hide by matching the words and channels you chose, and, if you switch them on, short built-in word lists for AI-generated and adult content. These checks are best effort. DeVeil can miss videos you wanted hidden and can hide videos you wanted to see. It is not a parental control, a content-safety tool or a way to keep anyone away from harmful material, and you should not rely on it as one. Every hidden video can be revealed or restored.

YouTube can change

DeVeil works with the way YouTube's pages are built today. When YouTube changes its pages, some or all of DeVeil may stop working until it is updated. We do not promise that DeVeil will always work, always be available, or be updated by any particular date.

Your data

DeVeil keeps your filters and settings on your device only. How it handles information is described in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

No warranty

DeVeil is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. Some places do not allow some of these exclusions, and in those places they apply only as far as the law permits.

Limit of liability

As far as the law permits, the DeVeil developers are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost data, lost time or loss of access to any service, arising from your use of, or inability to use, DeVeil. Because DeVeil is free, any liability we do have, where the law does not allow it to be excluded, is limited to the amount you paid for it: nothing. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Stopping

You can stop using DeVeil at any time by removing it from Chrome, which deletes everything it stored on your device. We may change, pause or stop DeVeil or the website at any time.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and the current version is always at deveil.app/terms/. If you keep using DeVeil after a change, you accept the new terms. If a future version adds a paid plan or an account, these terms will be updated before that version is released.

Not affiliated with YouTube

DeVeil is an independent extension. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube or Google. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC, and "Chrome" is a trademark of Google LLC.
