Privacy Policy — Sampler

Last updated: April 23, 2025

Overview

Sampler is a Chrome extension that records audio from your browser tabs, lets you edit the waveform, and exports files to your computer for use in music software. All data stays on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or share any information.

Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not collect personal information of any kind.
• We do not transmit audio recordings or any other data to external servers.
• We do not use analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry services.
• We do not serve ads or use affiliate programs.

Local Storage

Sampler stores audio recordings and your settings exclusively in your browser's local IndexedDB storage. This data never leaves your device. You can delete all stored recordings at any time by clearing the extension's storage via Chrome's settings (Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → View permissions and data stored across sites).

Permissions Used

• tabCapture — Captures the audio stream from the active browser tab so you can record it. Audio is processed locally and never sent anywhere.
• storage / unlimitedStorage — Saves your recordings to local IndexedDB so they are available across browser sessions without uploading to any server. Unlimited storage is requested because audio files can be large and a standard 5 MB quota would prevent recording longer sessions.
• downloads — Writes exported audio files (WAV, MP3, etc.) directly to your computer's file system so you can open them in music production software.
• sidePanel — Displays the Sampler interface in Chrome's side panel while you browse.

Third Parties

Sampler does not integrate with or share data with any third-party services, SDKs, or APIs.

Children's Privacy

Sampler does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13.
