Media-Remote-Control

Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Overview

This Chrome extension is designed to enable remote control of media playback within the user’s browser. We respect user privacy and are committed to transparency regarding data usage.

This extension does not collect, sell, or share personal data.

Data Collection

The extension does not collect any personally identifiable information, including but not limited to:

• Name, email address, phone number
• Browsing history or search history
• Website content (text, images, forms, or inputs)
• Credentials, passwords, or payment information

Limited Technical Data Usage

To function correctly, the extension temporarily processes non-personal technical data, including:

• Active media tab identifiers
• Media playback state (e.g., playing, paused, muted)
• Session identifiers and trusted device tokens

This data:

• Is used only within an authenticated session
• Is not shared with third parties
• Is not used for analytics, tracking, or advertising

Data Storage

The extension uses Chrome’s storage API to store:

• Connection state
• Session or pairing identifiers
• User preferences related to the extension

All stored data:

• Remains on the user’s device
• Can be cleared by removing the extension or clearing browser data
• Is never transmitted for profiling or analytics

Network Communication

The extension may communicate with a user-controlled or trusted server using secure WebSocket connections for media control synchronization.

Important clarifications:

• No remote JavaScript or executable code is downloaded or executed
• Network communication is limited to structured control messages
• No personal data is transmitted

Permissions Usage

Permissions requested by the extension are used strictly to:

• Detect media-capable tabs
• Control media playback based on user action
• Maintain session continuity

Permissions are not used to monitor general browsing activity.

Third Parties

This extension:

• Does not use third-party analytics
• Does not integrate ads or trackers
• Does not sell or share data with any third party

User Control

Users can:

• Disconnect remote sessions at any time
• Remove the extension to delete all stored data
• Control when the extension is active

The extension remains inactive unless explicitly connected by the user.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be published with a new extension release.
