Turn It Up, Son!

Privacy Policy

Volume Booster & Mixer - Turn It Up, Son! browser extension · Last updated: 2026-07-18

The short version

The extension does not collect, store or send any personal data. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads, no telemetry. Your audio is processed in real time on your computer and is never recorded, saved or transmitted anywhere.

What stays on your device

All of your settings live in the browser's local extension storage on your computer: volume levels, theme, language, bass and effect settings, saved mixes, auto-skip lists and per-tab state. None of it ever leaves your device.

Uninstalling the extension removes all of it. You can also wipe everything at any time with the Clear all extension data button in the extension settings.

Sound processing

To boost volume and apply effects, the extension processes the audio of a tab in real time using the browser's built-in audio tools. This happens entirely on your computer. The audio is never recorded, stored or sent - it only passes through, gets louder or gets effects, and plays.

Site access and permissions

The extension asks for access to a website only when you turn on a feature that needs it (playback speed, auto-skip, auto-continue), and gives that access back when you turn the feature off. When nothing is enabled, the extension keeps no code on any page.

  • storage - saving your settings locally
  • tabCapture - processing tab audio in real time
  • tabs - showing which tabs are playing audio
  • offscreen - running the audio engine in the background
  • scripting (optional) - playback speed and auto-skip on sites you enable them for

Network requests - the complete list

The extension makes no network requests during normal use. There are exactly two optional situations where a request happens:

  • Track link lookup. When you paste a song link into the auto-skip list, the extension asks the public track-info endpoint of YouTube, Spotify or SoundCloud for the title and artist of that one link. Only the link is sent, with no identifiers attached.
  • Voluntary, anonymous feedback. The uninstall page and the bug-report box send only the option you picked and the text you typed to a Google Form. No account, no e-mail, no identifiers. If you do not use them, nothing is sent.

That is the whole list. There is no telemetry and no usage reporting of any kind.

Third parties

Your data is never sold or shared - there is no data to sell. The only third-party services involved are the ones listed above (public track-info endpoints and Google Forms). Like any web request, those services technically see standard connection metadata (such as an IP address) under their own privacy policies. The extension adds nothing to that.

Changes and contact

If this policy ever changes, the new version will appear on this page with an updated date.
