Privacy policy

Wavelift is a browser extension that converts media from web pages into audio and video files. This policy explains what data it handles, why, and for how long. We don't sell data, show ads, or use analytics or tracking tools.

Without an account

• A random install ID the extension creates on first use. It isn't tied to your name or email, and is used to count your free downloads.
• A one-way, salted hash of your network address. Used only to apply the free daily limit per network. The raw IP address is not stored in our database.
• The page link you ask us to convert, with the format and quality you chose. Needed to do the conversion. These records are deleted after 30 days.
• The converted file is stored on our server only until it reaches you, and deleted automatically within about an hour.

If you create an account

• Your email address, to sign you in and link your subscription to you.
• Your password, stored only as a secure one-way hash (scrypt). We can't read it.
• Your authenticator-app secret, if you set one up for password recovery. It's stored encrypted.
• Sign-in sessions, so you stay signed in. Only a hash of each session token is stored.
• Your plan: whether you have Pro, which plan, and until when.

Payments

Payments are handled by Whop. We never see or store your card details. Whop tells us whether a payment succeeded and the status of your subscription, which we use to turn Pro on or off. Whop's own privacy policy applies to the payment itself.

Feedback

If you send feedback, rate the extension, or answer the short survey shown after uninstalling, we store what you write, your rating, the extension version, and your email if you add it. We use this only to improve Wavelift.

Stays on your device

Your download history and your settings are stored in your browser and are never sent to us.

Who processes data for us

• netcup (Germany): the server that runs Wavelift.
• Neon: our database hosting.
• Whop: payments and subscriptions.
• The website you convert from receives the request for the media, as it would if you played it.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account at any time from the account page in the extension (Account, then Delete account). This removes your email, password hash, authenticator secret and sessions immediately, and stops any running subscription from renewing. Conversion records and usage counters are deleted automatically after 30 days. For anything else, use the "Suggest a feature or report a bug" link at the bottom of the extension popup or the developer contact on the Chrome Web Store listing.

Children

Wavelift is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Significant changes will be announced in the extension.
