Privacy Policy

Voice Kit ("the extension") is a Chrome extension for local audio recording. It lets you record microphone audio, current-tab audio, or both mixed together, then replay, trim, rename, and export recordings from a local history stored in your browser.

Data stored locally

Voice Kit stores the following data locally on your device:

• Audio recordings created by you.
• Recording metadata such as title, duration, file size, format, timestamp, and playback or editing state.
• Source metadata for Tab and Voice + Tab recordings, including source tab title, URL, favicon, tab/window identifiers, and a start-time screenshot preview.
• Extension settings such as language, theme, color mode, output format, quality, microphone device, and input gain levels.
• Temporary session state used to keep recording controls in sync between the popup, side panel, service worker, and offscreen recorder.

Audio recordings are stored in IndexedDB. Settings and session state are stored with Chrome's local extension storage APIs.

Audio, screenshot, and tab processing

Voice Kit processes microphone and tab audio locally using browser APIs such as MediaRecorder, Web Audio, and Chrome tabCapture. Audio is recorded only after user interaction.

For Tab and Voice + Tab recordings, Voice Kit may capture a visible-tab screenshot at the start of recording. If a visible playing video is detected, the preview may be cropped locally to the video area; otherwise, the visible page snapshot is used. The preview remains local and is used only to help you recognize the recording in history.

Voice Kit reads tab title, URL, favicon, and window information only to label recordings, show the original source, and switch back to or reopen the source tab when requested by you.

Data transmission

None. Voice Kit does not transmit recordings, screenshots, tab metadata, settings, or usage data to external servers. It does not use analytics, advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, telemetry services, or remote configuration.

Data sharing

Voice Kit does not sell, rent, share, or transfer user data to third parties.

Remote code

Voice Kit does not load or execute remote code. All JavaScript, HTML, CSS, icons, locale files, and audio processing code are packaged with the extension.

Permissions

Voice Kit requests Chrome permissions only to support its core functionality:

• tabCapture captures the current tab's audio after user interaction.
• activeTab identifies the user-invoked active tab for Tab and Voice + Tab recording.
• tabs reads the active tab's title, URL, favicon, and window id so recordings can store source metadata and reopen or switch back to the source tab.
• scripting detects the visible playing video rectangle for local screenshot previews.
• offscreen keeps the recording document alive under Manifest V3 while the popup is closed.
• sidePanel opens the persistent Chrome side panel when you pin Voice Kit.
• storage saves local settings and session state.
• unlimitedStorage allows user-created recordings to remain in local IndexedDB without the small default extension quota.

Host permissions for http://*/* and https://*/* keep tab capture and screenshot preview permissions reliable for normal web pages after the popup or side panel has been open for a while. Chrome internal pages remain blocked by the browser.

User control

You can:

• Start, pause, resume, and stop recordings manually.
• Rename, trim, download, or delete individual recordings.
• Change recording format, quality, microphone device, gain levels, language, theme, and color mode.
• Remove Voice Kit from Chrome to delete extension-managed local storage according to Chrome behavior.

Children's privacy

Voice Kit is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. Voice Kit does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
