TabPanEQ ("the extension") is a Chrome browser extension that gives users per-tab control over stereo audio panning, volume, and a 12-band equalizer. This policy explains what data the extension accesses and how it is used.
TabPanEQ does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal or browsing data. All processing happens locally on your device.
tabCapture): captured only for the tab you actively adjust, and routed through a local Web Audio graph to apply your panning, volume, and EQ settings. The audio is processed in real time and is never recorded, saved, or transmitted anywhere.activeTab): used to identify which tab your panning/volume/EQ adjustments should apply to.storage): your per-tab settings (pan position, volume level, and 12 EQ band values) are stored locally using chrome.storage.session, so they persist for your browsing session and survive the extension's background process restarting. This data never leaves your device and is cleared when the tab closes or the browser session ends.offscreen): used only to host the Web Audio processing graph (required because Chrome's Manifest V3 service workers cannot process audio directly). No data is collected here — it exists purely to keep audio processing running.TabPanEQ does not share any data with third parties, does not use analytics or tracking, and does not communicate with any external server. The extension contains no remote code — all code is bundled in the extension package.
Settings stored via chrome.storage.session are automatically cleared when the browser session ends or when the associated tab is closed. No data is retained beyond your active browsing session, and nothing is ever stored outside your own device.
TabPanEQ does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
