AudioWave Pro Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how AudioWave Pro handles information when you use the AudioWave Pro Chrome extension. AudioWave Pro is designed to record browser tab audio and microphone audio for the user who installs the extension. The extension is built to minimize data collection and keep recordings under the user's control.

Short version: AudioWave Pro stores recordings and app settings locally in your browser. It does not run analytics, sell personal data, or send recordings to our servers. The only exception is when you explicitly choose an optional transcription feature, in which case the selected audio file is sent to the transcription provider for processing.

Information AudioWave Pro Collects

Audio recordings: Recordings you make with the extension are stored locally on your device or inside the extension's local storage workflow.
Usage settings: The extension stores preferences such as plan status, recording format, and local usage counters inside Chrome extension storage.
Payment status: If you subscribe to Pro, ExtensionPay may provide payment status information so premium features can unlock inside the extension.

Information AudioWave Pro Does Not Collect

No third-party analytics or behavioral tracking.
No advertising identifiers.
No sale of personal information.
No remote upload of recordings by default.

How Audio Data Is Handled

AudioWave Pro requests microphone or tab-audio access only when you choose to record. The extension uses that permission to capture audio locally and create a recording file for you. By default, those recordings are not transmitted to any AudioWave Pro server.

Optional Transcription Features

If AudioWave Pro offers an optional transcription feature, the audio you choose to transcribe may be sent to a third-party transcription provider such as Deepgram, Groq Whisper, or another provider selected by the product operator. That transmission happens only after you explicitly invoke the transcription action. The privacy practices for that processing are governed by the applicable third-party provider.

Optional AI Analysis Features

When you configure an AI analysis key, transcript text is sent to the AI provider (Cerebras) for analysis. This only happens when you have explicitly configured a key and recorded audio. No audio data is sent to Cerebras - only the text transcript. The AI provider privacy policy governs that processing.

Payments

AudioWave Pro uses ExtensionPay for subscription and payment status handling. Payment processing is handled by ExtensionPay and its payment partners, not by AudioWave Pro directly. AudioWave Pro receives only the limited account status data needed to determine whether Pro features should be available.

Data Storage and Retention

Recordings remain in local storage until you delete them.
Usage settings remain in local extension storage until you clear them or uninstall the extension.
No central server retention policy applies to recordings because recordings are not stored on a product server by default.

Data Sharing

AudioWave Pro does not sell or rent user data. Information is shared only in the limited situations required to operate optional services you request, such as payment verification or transcription processing.

Security

AudioWave Pro is designed to keep recordings local whenever possible. No system can promise absolute security, but the product architecture aims to reduce risk by avoiding unnecessary remote storage and analytics tooling.

Your Choices

You can stop using the extension at any time.
You can delete recordings from the extension interface or local storage workflow.
You can uninstall the extension through Chrome.
You can decline microphone access, although recording features will not work without it.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if AudioWave Pro changes its features or data practices. The latest version should always be published at the public privacy policy URL linked in the Chrome Web Store listing.
