Data Collection

What We DON'T Collect

  • Personal information (name, email, etc.)
  • Browsing history or activity
  • YouTube viewing habits
  • Audio preferences or settings beyond what's stored locally
  • IP addresses or location data
  • Device information or identifiers

What We DO Store (Locally Only)

  • Extension Settings: Your volume levels, equalizer presets, and other preferences are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API.
  • Per-Video Settings: If you enable the "Remember settings for this video" feature, your audio preferences for specific videos are stored locally.

All data is stored exclusively on your device and never transmitted to any external servers.

How SonicBoost Elite Works

Our extension operates entirely within your browser:

  1. When you visit YouTube, SonicBoost Elite injects audio processing scripts into the page
  2. These scripts intercept YouTube's audio stream and apply your chosen enhancements
  3. All processing happens in real-time on your device
  4. No audio data or user information ever leaves your browser

Permissions Explained

SonicBoost Elite requires certain permissions to function. Here's why:

"Access to youtube.com"

Required to inject our audio processing scripts into YouTube pages. We only access YouTube pages and no other websites.

"Storage"

Used to save your preferences locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.

"ActiveTab"

Allows the extension to work on the current YouTube tab when you click the extension icon.

Third-Party Services

SonicBoost Elite does not use any third-party services, analytics tools, or external APIs. The extension is completely self-contained and operates independently.

Data Security

Since we don't collect any data, there's no risk of data breaches or unauthorized access to your information through our extension. Your settings are secured by Chrome's built-in storage security measures.

Updates and Changes

Extension updates are delivered through the Chrome Web Store. Updates may include:

  • Bug fixes and performance improvements
  • New features or audio presets
  • Compatibility updates for YouTube changes

We will never introduce data collection or tracking in future updates. Any significant changes to privacy practices would require updating this policy and notifying users.

Children's Privacy

SonicBoost Elite does not collect any data from users of any age. The extension is safe for use by anyone who has access to YouTube.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect any personal data, there's no need for data access, correction, or deletion requests. You maintain complete control over your data:

  • You can clear your local settings at any time through the extension options
  • Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data
  • You can disable the extension at any time without losing your settings
