Privacy Policy
What VolumeHub Does
VolumeHub is a Chrome extension that lets you boost and control audio volume for any browser tab, apply a 3-band equalizer, and save per-site volume preferences.
Data We Collect
VolumeHub does not collect any personal data. The extension does not:
- Transmit any data to external servers
- Use analytics or crash-reporting services
- Track browsing history or visited URLs beyond what is needed in the moment to read the current tab's domain
- Store or log any audio content
- Collect names, email addresses, or any identifying information
Data Stored Locally
VolumeHub saves the following settings to your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local), which never leaves your device:
- Per-domain volume levels — the volume you set for a given website
- EQ settings — bass, mid, and treble adjustments
- App preferences — dark mode, auto-apply toggle, default volume
This data is stored entirely on your device and is only accessible by the VolumeHub extension itself. It is never uploaded or synced to any external service.
Permissions Explained
VolumeHub requests only the permissions it needs to function:
- tabs — to read the current tab's URL so the correct saved volume can be applied
- tabCapture — to capture a tab's audio stream for volume boosting and EQ processing
- storage — to save your preferences locally
- offscreen — to run Web Audio API processing in an offscreen document, as required by Chrome's Manifest V3 architecture
- alarms — to keep the background service worker alive while audio processing is active
Third Parties
VolumeHub does not use any third-party libraries, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or external services. No data of any kind is shared with third parties.
Children's Privacy
VolumeHub does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
