Privacy Policy

The short version

Framewise collects nothing, sends nothing anywhere, and has no servers. Every setting you configure — shortcuts, speed presets, remembered volume per site, and everything else — stays on your device (and syncs only through your own browser's built-in sync, the same mechanism Chrome/Edge use for your bookmarks — Framewise never sees that data itself). There is no analytics, no tracking, and no third party involved anywhere in how the extension works.

Why it asks for access to every site

When you install Framewise, your browser warns that it can "read and change all your data on all websites." That's the standard warning for the host_permissions an extension like this needs — Framewise has no way of knowing in advance which site you'll want frame-by-frame video control on, so it asks for the ability to look for a <video> element on whatever page you're on. It only ever acts on that page's own video element, only when you use a Framewise shortcut or the popup — it does not read page content, forms, passwords, browsing history, or anything else on the page.

What each permission is for

• storage — saves your settings (shortcuts, presets, per-site memory) locally in your browser, and optionally syncs them across your own devices via your browser's account sync. Framewise itself never receives or stores this data anywhere else.
• scripting — lets Framewise run its control script on the page you're viewing, so it can find the video and respond to your shortcuts. Also used to recover automatically if the extension was just updated while a tab was already open.
• host_permissions (all sites) — needed for the reason above: video can be on any site, and Framewise doesn't pre-select which ones to support.

What Framewise never does

• Never sends any data to any server — there isn't one.
• Never includes analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting of any kind.
• Never sells, shares, or transfers any data to any third party, because none is ever collected in the first place.
• Never reads page content unrelated to the video element it controls (no forms, no passwords, no browsing history).

Children's privacy

Framewise is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age — there is simply nothing being collected.
