Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 31, 2025
The Short Version
We don't collect your data. Period. All audio processing happens locally in your browser. The only external request we make is to validate Pro licenses through Gumroad.
Our Privacy Commitment
DualWield is built with a privacy-first philosophy. We believe your audio habits, browsing patterns, and personal data are none of our business. That's why we've designed our extension to work entirely on your device.
What We DON'T Collect
- ❌ Browsing history or tab information
- ❌ Audio content or metadata
- ❌ Personal information
- ❌ Usage analytics or statistics
- ❌ IP addresses or location data
- ❌ Any form of tracking cookies
What Stays Local
Everything important stays on your device:
- ✓ Your audio source assignments (which tabs go to which ear)
- ✓ Volume settings and preferences
- ✓ Your license key (encrypted in Chrome's local storage)
- ✓ All audio processing and routing
- ✓ Generated share images
The Only External Connection
DualWield makes exactly one type of external request:
- License Validation: When you enter a Pro license key, we send it to Gumroad's API (api.gumroad.com) to verify it's valid. This request contains only your license key - no personal information.
That's it. No analytics. No tracking. No data collection.
Chrome Permissions Explained
We request these permissions for core functionality only:
- Tabs: To identify which tabs have audio to route
- Tab Capture: To access and route audio streams
- Storage: To save your preferences locally (never sent anywhere)
- Downloads: To let you save share images you create
- Notifications: To confirm keyboard shortcut actions
- Offscreen: To process audio in the background
Your Data, Your Control
Since all data is stored locally:
- Uninstalling DualWield removes all stored data
- You can clear extension data anytime through Chrome settings
- No account creation means no data to delete from servers
- Your audio routing choices are never logged or analyzed
Third-Party Services
We use one third-party service:
- Gumroad: For Pro license validation and payment processing. See Gumroad's Privacy Policy
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change this privacy policy, we'll update the date at the top. Our commitment to not collecting your data won't change.
