# Privacy Policy for Coverlay
**Last Updated:** April 2026
Coverlay takes your privacy incredibly seriously. We firmly believe that your personal data and browsing habits are your own. This Privacy Policy outlines how Coverlay handles information when you install and use our Chrome Extension.
## 1. Data Collection and Usage
Coverlay **does NOT** collect, transmit, distribute, or sell any of your personal data, browsing history, user analytics, or music preferences. All computational operations and modifications are performed strictly and entirely locally within your browser.
## 2. Image Uploads and Local Storage
When you choose to upload a custom album cover using Coverlay, the image is securely processed directly within your browser window. It is resized for performance and stored exclusively in your browser's local environment using the `chrome.storage.local` API.
Your image is **never** uploaded to any cloud service, external server, analytic service, or database. If you delete the extension, your settings and images are permanently wiped from your hard drive.
## 3. Extension Permissions Explained
To function properly, Coverlay requests specific permissions. Here is why we need them:
* **`storage`**: Used solely for saving your aesthetic preferences (e.g., enabled status, opacity values, language selection) and your chosen custom cover locally on your device.
* **Host Permissions (`*://music.youtube.com/*`, `*://open.spotify.com/*`) & `scripting`**: Used strictly to locate and visually alter the album cover HTML elements on these supported platforms. Coverlay does not read your login sessions, passwords, or track which songs you are listening to.
* **`activeTab`**: To allow the extension popup to instantly communicate styling changes to the tab you are currently viewing.
## 4. Third-Party Services
Coverlay operates as a standalone tool. We do not use any third-party tracking scripts (such as Google Analytics) or advertising modules within the extension.
## 5. Contact
If you have any questions, concerns, or technical inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy or the security practices of Coverlay, please reach out to the developer via the "Support" tab on the Chrome Web Store listing.
