• Personally identifiable information such as name, address, email address or age
• Personal communications such as emails, texts or chat messages

This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.

What Chrome asks you to allow

When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:

• Read and change your data on a number of websites

Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

What it can reach

Specific sites only: 49 match patterns.

• https://digdeeper.fm/* only digdeeper.fm
• https://*.bandcamp.com/* bandcamp.com and all its subdomains
• https://bandcamp.com/* only bandcamp.com
• https://soundcloud.com/* only soundcloud.com
• https://www.youtube.com/* only www.youtube.com
• https://youtube.com/* only youtube.com
• https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/* only www.youtube-nocookie.com
• https://youtube-nocookie.com/embed/* only youtube-nocookie.com
• https://w.soundcloud.com/player/* only w.soundcloud.com
• https://embed.traxsource.com/player/* only embed.traxsource.com
• https://hardwax.com/* only hardwax.com
• https://www.hardwax.com/* only www.hardwax.com
• and 37 more

Worth knowing

• Run its own code on the pages it can access scripting

Routine for an extension

• Store data in your browser storage

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: the first 50 site patterns we keep.

• https://digdeeper.fm/* only digdeeper.fm
• https://*.bandcamp.com/* bandcamp.com and all its subdomains
• https://bandcamp.com/* only bandcamp.com

We keep the first 50 patterns of a list; the manifest may declare more.

A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.

What it may ask for later

Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse. It may later ask for access to every site.

• https://*/* every site
• http://*/* every site

What the store shows

Has it asked for more over time?

This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.
