Safest Volume Booster Chrome Extension

👋 Overview

Safest Volume Booster ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that amplifies the playback volume of HTML5 video elements on web pages using the browser's built-in Web Audio API. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Extension accesses, what it stores, and what it does not do.

The short version: we collect nothing, store nothing remotely, and share nothing.

🚫 Data We Do NOT Collect

The Extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any of the following:

• Personal identification information (name, email, IP address, etc.)
• Browsing history or URLs you visit
• Audio or video content on any page
• Cookies or tracking identifiers
• Usage analytics or telemetry
• Crash reports or error logs sent to any server

💾 Local Storage Only

The Extension uses Chrome's storage.local API to save two small pieces of data locally on your device:

• boostVolume — your chosen volume multiplier (e.g. 3.0)
• extensionEnabled — whether the extension is on or off

These values are stored solely to remember your preferences across page reloads and browser restarts. They are never synced to any cloud service and never sent anywhere. You can clear them at any time by removing the extension.

🔐 Permissions Explained

• activeTab — Allows the extension to access the tab you are currently viewing when you click the popup, so it can find and boost video elements on that page.
• scripting — Used to inject a small script that attaches a Web Audio GainNode to video elements to adjust their volume. No page content is read or recorded.
• storage — Used to save your volume preference and on/off state locally in your browser only.
• host permissions (<all_urls>) — Required so the extension's content script can automatically re-apply your saved volume boost when any page loads or reloads, eliminating the need to manually reopen the popup every time.

🌐 Third-Party Services

The Extension does not integrate with, load scripts from, or send data to any third-party service, analytics platform, advertising network, or API.

👶 Children's Privacy

The Extension does not collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. It is a simple audio-boosting tool with no accounts, no sign-up, and no data collection of any kind.

📝 Changes to This Policy

If the Extension's data practices ever change, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the revision. We recommend checking this page after any extension update if you have privacy concerns.
