Privacy Policy
How Music Services Search respects and protects your privacy
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Music Services Search. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how our browser extension collects, uses, and safeguards your information. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Information We Collect
The Music Services Search extension collects and stores the following information:
- Your preferences regarding which music services you wish to enable (Spotify, YouTube, YouTube Music, Bandcamp)
- Your preference for using Spotify's web player or desktop application
Important: This information is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage sync API. It is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.
How We Use Your Information
The preferences you set are used solely to:
- Remember which music services you want to appear in your context menu
- Direct your music searches to either Spotify's web player or desktop application based on your preference
We do not use this information for any other purpose, such as tracking, profiling, or advertising.
Text Selection
When you select text and use our context menu to search, the selected text is processed only to construct a search URL for your chosen music service. This selected text is not stored by our extension and is only used for the immediate search operation.
Example: When you select "Daft Punk" and search with Spotify, we simply open: https://open.spotify.com/search/Daft%20Punk
Third-Party Services
When you perform a search using our extension, you will be directed to one of the following third-party services:
- Spotify - Music streaming service
- YouTube - Video sharing platform
- YouTube Music - Music streaming service by Google
- Bandcamp - Online music platform
Please note that these third-party services have their own privacy policies and terms of service. We encourage you to review their policies as we have no control over how they collect or process your information.
Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your information is protected by your browser's security measures. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your information on remote servers.
Your data stays on your device — We believe in privacy by design. Our extension operates without any data collection servers.
We designed Music Services Search with a "zero-data" approach. Your preferences are saved locally in your browser, not in the cloud.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
