Audio Recorder Lite Privacy Policy

Audio Recorder Lite does not collect, track, or send any of your data. Everything stays on your device.

What We Collect

Nothing.

Audio Recorder Lite does not collect any personal information, browsing history, or usage data. No analytics. No accounts. No sign-ups.

What We Store Locally

The recording status flag (is a recording in progress?), the start timestamp, and the filename of the last saved recording. Saved locally on your device using chrome.storage.local. The captured audio itself is written straight to your Downloads folder and never read back by the extension.

This data never leaves your device. It is not sent to any server, and we have no way to access it.

Why We Need Each Permission

Audio Recorder Lite only asks for the permissions it needs to work. Here is what each one does:

activeTab

Read the active tab when you click the toolbar icon so tab capture knows which tab to record.

tabCapture

Get a stream ID for the active tab's audio. This is the standard MV3 API for capturing tab audio. The extension does not capture any other tab.

offscreen

Host the MediaRecorder in an offscreen document. Service workers cannot run MediaRecorder directly in MV3.

storage

Save the recording status, start time, and last filename so the popup can show accurate state when reopened.

downloads

Save the captured audio file to your Downloads folder when you press Stop. The extension calls chrome.downloads.download with a Blob URL that lives only in memory.

Third-Party Services

Audio Recorder Lite does not connect to any external servers, analytics tools, or advertising networks. It works fully offline after you install it.

Policy Updates

If we change this policy, we will update this page. The date at the bottom shows when it was last updated.
