Privacy policy

What PlayStop stores

• Your settings: whether PlayStop is on, and your list of allowed sites. Chrome keeps them in your browser. If Chrome sync is on, Chrome also copies them to your other computers through your Google Account, under Google’s privacy policy. The developer never receives them.
• Blocked-play counts: how many plays were blocked on each tab’s current page, for the number on the toolbar icon. They are kept in memory only, start over on every new page, and are deleted when Chrome closes.

What PlayStop reads

• On websites, PlayStop watches for videos and audio that try to start, so it can block them until you click. It does not read page text, forms, passwords, cookies or your browsing history.
• When you open its popup, PlayStop reads the address of the current tab to show the site’s name and offer “Allow this site”. The address is saved only if you add the site to your allowed sites.

Why it needs its permissions

• Storage: saves your settings.
• Scripting: turns the blocker on or off for each site.
• Access to websites: lets the blocker start on each page before the page’s own scripts can play anything.

Removing your data

Remove a site from the Allowed sites page at any time. Uninstalling PlayStop removes its settings and counts from your browser. If Chrome sync is on, Chrome may keep a synced copy of the settings in your Google Account and restore it if you install PlayStop again.

Chrome Web Store policy

PlayStop’s use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
