Unsound extension privacy policy

Effective October 25, 2026.

The Unsound extension sends no data to the developer or anyone else. It has no analytics, ads or tracking, and needs no account.

What it uses

Data	Why	Where it stays
Audio of tabs you control	Volume, mute, Boost and EQ	Processed live; never recorded
Tab titles, sites, site icons	Labels in the controls	Session storage (icons not stored), cleared on quit
Volume settings for ≤100 sites	Restore a site's settings next time	Browser storage until you forget it
Sites you allow for playback	Pause and resume their media	Browser permissions until you remove
Playback state on allowed sites	Show and toggle play/pause	Session storage, cleared on quit
IDs of tabs turned down	Mute them again after an update	Browser storage; no titles or sites

Saved sites contain only the scheme, host and port, such as https://www.youtube.com, never paths or queries. On allowed sites the extension reads only audio and video elements, not page text, forms or passwords. Browser sync is not used.

Unsound.app

If you install Unsound.app on your Mac and connect it, the extension shares the titles, sites, icons and control state of its tabs with the app over local native messaging. The app keeps them only while connected. Audio stays in the browser.

Removing data

Saved volumes → Forget / Forget all: removes saved site settings.
Allowed sites → Remove / Remove all: removes playback access.
Stop controlling (✕): releases a tab.
Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stored.
