Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

No personal data collected. Nothing sent to a server. Only your settings, stored on your own device.

Summary

The short version

Volume Master does not collect personal data. It does not send anything to a server. It stores a small number of settings — your volume preferences and display choices — in Chrome’s local storage on your own device, and nowhere else. Your audio is never recorded.

If you want the full detail, it is below. If you have a question the page does not answer, see the contact section at the bottom.

Effective date: 6 November 2026

No collection

What the extension does not collect

Volume Master does not collect, store or transmit any of the following:

  • Your name, email address or any other identifying information.
  • Your browsing history or a list of the pages you visit.
  • The content of any web page, including text, images or form fields.
  • Any audio. The extension processes audio locally on your device; it does not record it, save it to disk or send it anywhere.
  • Crash reports, error logs or usage statistics sent to any server.
  • Advertising identifiers or any data used for advertising.

There are no user accounts. There is no registration. The extension does not know who you are.

On your device

What the extension stores on your device

The extension saves three categories of data, all in Chrome’s local storage on your own device. None of this data is accessible to us or to anyone else. It never leaves your device.

Per-website preferences

When you set a volume level or sound mode for a website, the extension saves that preference under the website’s hostname. The next time you open the extension on that site, the saved setting is applied automatically.

Examples of what is stored: the hostname of a website (for example, “bbc.co.uk”) and the volume level you chose for it.

You can delete any per-website preference inside the extension’s Advanced view. Uninstalling the extension removes all stored preferences.

Global settings

The extension saves your chosen equaliser band positions, Night Mode on or off, Clean Boost on or off, and your light or dark theme preference. These settings apply across all tabs.

Uninstalling the extension removes these settings.

Temporary session data

While Chrome is open, the extension keeps a record of which tabs are currently being boosted. This lets it resume boosting correctly if a tab reloads.

This data is temporary. It is cleared automatically when you close the browser. It is never written to permanent storage.

Audio

Audio

When you boost a tab, Volume Master captures the audio stream of that tab, processes it on your device to raise the volume, and plays it back through your speakers or headphones.

The audio is processed entirely on your device. It is never recorded. It is never saved to disk. It is never transmitted to any server or third party. No copy of the audio exists anywhere outside your device.

Permissions

Chrome permissions

Volume Master uses five Chrome permissions: activeTab, offscreen, storage, tabCapture and tabs. It has no host permissions.

A plain-language explanation of what each permission does and why the extension needs it is on the Safety and Permissions page.

Sharing

Data sharing

No user data is held on any server, so there is nothing to share with anyone. The extension does not share data with third parties, advertisers, analytics providers or any other organisation, because it does not collect data in the first place.

The website

The website (volumemasterr.com)

This section covers the website that hosts this policy, separately from the extension.

What the website does not do

The website has no user accounts and no registration. It has no comments section. It has no checkout. The owner has not installed website analytics. The only form on the website is the contact form on the Contact Us page.

A check on 6 November 2026 found that the website sets no cookies for a guest visitor.

Hosting

The website is hosted by Hostinger and uses the Hostinger CDN.

Hostinger’s own privacy practices — including whether and how long it retains server access logs, and what those logs contain — are governed by Hostinger’s privacy policy, not this one.

What the host may log

Web hosts typically record server access logs that may include the IP addresses of visitors, the pages requested and the time of each request. Hostinger’s handling of any such records is governed by Hostinger’s privacy policy.

Updates

Changes to this policy

If the extension’s data practices ever change — for example in a future update — this policy will be updated before the change takes effect. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when that happens.

The statements on this page describe the reviewed build, v1.0.3, as it existed on the date of review.
