Plain-language summary: We do not collect personal information, browsing history, page content, audio content, analytics events, or tracking identifiers. We do not sell or share user data.

1. Data collection

Smart Volume Control does not collect or transmit personal information. The extension does not include analytics, advertising SDKs, telemetry, tracking pixels, or remote audio processing.

We do not collect:

  • Names, email addresses, account details, or identifiers
  • Browsing history or visited-page content
  • Audio or video content
  • Usage analytics or advertising data
  • Payment or financial information

2. Local storage

The extension uses Chrome's local Storage API to remember settings on your device. Stored values may include:

  • A website domain associated with a saved site profile
  • Preferred volume level
  • Selected audio mode
  • Auto loudness and Safe Boost preferences
  • Global default settings

This information remains in your Chrome browser profile. It is not uploaded to a developer-operated server and is not used to build a browsing profile.

3. Audio processing

Supported HTML5 audio and video elements are processed in the browser using browser audio capabilities. Audio is not recorded, stored, or sent to a remote service by Smart Volume Control.

4. Permissions
