Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 13, 2026

1. Introduction

SoundScope is a Chrome browser extension developed and published by SoundScope Labs. This privacy policy describes how the SoundScope extension handles your data during use.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. SoundScope has been designed with the principle of data minimization: no personal data is collected, processed, or transmitted to external servers.

2. Data collected

SoundScope does not collect any personal data.

  • No audio is recorded or stored
  • No personal data is collected
  • No browsing history is tracked
  • No third-party cookies are used
  • No data is sent to external servers
  • No personal identifiers are created or stored

3. Local processing

All audio analysis is performed locally in your browser. The audio stream is analyzed in real-time by the extension and results are displayed directly in the interface. No audio samples, metrics, or analysis results ever leave your device.

4. Chrome permissions used

SoundScope uses the following Chrome permissions:

  • tabCapture: Used exclusively to capture the audio stream from the active tab for real-time spectrum analysis. Captured audio is never recorded, stored, or transmitted.
  • storage (chrome.storage.local): Used only to store your user preferences (theme, display settings) and analysis history locally. This data remains on your device and is never synchronized or transmitted.
  • activeTab: Used to detect the active streaming platform and adapt the interface accordingly.

5. Local storage

The only data stored by SoundScope is:

  • Your display and configuration preferences
  • Your analysis session history (metrics only, no audio)
  • Your subscription status (Free, Pro, or Studio)

This data is stored via chrome.storage.local and remains exclusively on your device.

6. Data sharing

SoundScope does not share any data with third parties. No data is sold, rented, or transmitted to partners, advertisers, or other entities.

7. GDPR and user rights

Since SoundScope does not collect or process personal data, GDPR obligations related to personal data processing do not directly apply. Nevertheless, we respect the spirit of the regulation:

  • Right to deletion: You can delete all locally stored data at any time through the extension settings or by uninstalling the extension.
  • Right to information: This privacy policy transparently informs you about how the extension works.
  • Data minimization: Only data strictly necessary for the extension's operation is stored locally.

8. Security

All analyses are performed locally. No network communication is initiated by the extension to transmit audio data or analysis results. Extension updates are managed by the Chrome Web Store through Google's standard security mechanisms.

9. Changes to this policy

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the extension after modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
