Privacy Policy for BetterShare
Last Updated: March 2026
BetterShare ("the Extension") is provided by SouL ("the Developer") free of charge and is intended for use "as is". This page informs users about our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information.
Data Collection and Usage
BetterShare is designed with user privacy as its primary principle.
1. No Personal Data Collection
The Extension **does not collect, store, transmit, or share** any personal information, browsing history, or user data. We do not use analytics or telemetry of any kind.
2. Local Storage
The Extension uses your browser's local storage (`chrome.storage.local`) exclusively to save your functional preferences (e.g., whether the extension is toggled "Active" or "Inactive"). This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to the Developer or any third parties.
3. Permissions Justification
- `<all_urls>` (Read and change all your data on all websites): BetterShare intercepts the navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia API to force the inclusion of system audio when sharing your entire screen. Because screen sharing can be initiated from any web domain that uses the browser’s native screen sharing API, the extension requires access to all URLs. BetterShare only modifies the screen sharing method to include system audio and does not read, store, or transmit page content or user data.
- `storage`: Required to save your extension toggle state locally on your device.
Support / Donation Page
BetterShare includes an optional “Support” button that redirects users to an external GitHub Pages website owned by the developer.
This page only provides links to third-party payment platforms if the user chooses to support the project.
BetterShare does not collect payment information, process transactions, or track users. Any payment interaction is handled entirely by the selected third-party payment provider.
Visiting the support page is optional and not required to use the extension.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
