Privacy & support

What Capo can see, what it stores and where, and how to reach a human.

Privacy and permissions

Does Capo collect my data?

Yes — anonymous diagnostics, on by default, and you can turn them off.

Each diagnostic event carries:

  • A random ID minted on your device
  • The extension version
  • Your browser and locale
  • Which control you touched
  • The bare domain of the site — youtube.com, never the full URL

One switch in Settings ends it.

Does Capo upload my audio or video?

No — Capo never uploads your audio or video.

Sound is reshaped right inside the page with a Web Audio worklet — the audio never leaves your machine, because there's nowhere for it to go.

The only things Capo ever sends out are diagnostic events (an ID, a version, a domain) and a one-time ping when you install. No audio. Ever.

Does Capo require an account?

No — the free features need no account at all.

Pro is the only reason to have an account. To unlock the Pro workspace you sign in and pay for Pro — signing in is simply how Capo ties those extra controls to your account. Nothing in the free tier ever asks you to sign up.

Why does Capo need access to websites?

Because it can't know in advance where you'll play something.

Capo asks for access to all sites so it can slip its audio engine into whatever page you're on — YouTube, a lecture player, some tiny podcast site.

It also reads the track's title and artist to label your history, and that stays on your device.

Why does Capo need to run on pages with audio or video?

Because pitch and speed can't be bent from outside the page.

Capo injects a small engine into the page itself, taps into its Web Audio graph, and reshapes the sound as it plays.

That's also why it only wakes up where there's media — on a page with nothing playing, there's simply nothing to hook into.

What are optional anonymous diagnostics?
Settings · Data & privacy
Share diagnosticsHelps us find broken sites. Domain only — never full URLs.
Default on — id, version, browser, locale, domain

They're the breadcrumbs that tell us Capo broke somewhere.

Each event carries:

  • A random ID, born on your device, tied to nothing personal
  • The version, your browser, and locale
  • Which control you nudged
  • The bare domainyoutube.com, never the full URL or page title

Events batch up quietly and send in the background.

Does Capo store my listening history?
Settings · Reset
Clear historyRemoves saved pitch, speed, and volume for every page.
Clear
Stored locally — never sent to Capo's servers

Yes — but only on your device, and only for you.

  • What you played: title, artist, artwork, link
  • The pitch, speed, and volume you set — so coming back to a track restores your settings

The list is capped, oldest entries drop off, and it never leaves your browser. Settings → Reset → Clear history wipes it.

Are saved settings stored locally in my browser?

Mostly — with one wrinkle worth knowing.

  • Your play history and per-track pitch, speed, and volume stay strictly local to that browser.
  • Your preferences — language, ranges, skip interval — go to Chrome's synced storage, so they ride along to other devices on the same Chrome profile.

Neither ever reaches Capo's servers.

What should privacy-conscious users know before using Capo?

Four things worth knowing before you install.

  • Audio is processed on your device and never uploaded.
  • Diagnostics are on by default — opt-out, not opt-in. Switch them off in Settings.
  • Capo asks for access to all sites, because media lives anywhere.
  • Your history stays local; only bare domains ever travel.

Support and feedback

How do I contact Capo support?

Two ways: the in-extension feedback form, or email.

  • Settings → Send feedback — no account needed, and you can leave your email out entirely.
  • support@elyralabs.org — reaches the same people, and it's the address to use for privacy or data requests.

Settings → Support opens the FAQ.

How do I report a broken website?

Use Settings → Send feedback with category Bug.

  1. Open Settings → Send feedback.
  2. Pick Bug.
  3. Put the site's domain — like youtube.com, not the full URL — in the "Site this happened on" field.

Your Capo version and browser attach themselves. And when Capo tells you a page won't work, there's a Report a bug link right on that screen.

How do I report audio distortion, lag, or crackling?

Same route: Settings → Send feedback → Bug.

  1. Describe what you did and what you heard.
  2. Note the exact pitch, speed, and volume values.
  3. Note the site and your Audio quality setting — crackle usually tracks the heavier engines.

Worth trying first: drop Audio quality a notch. If that fixes it, tell us that too.

How do I request support for a specific website?

Send it through Settings → Send feedback.

  • Choose Idea if the site never worked, Bug if it used to.
  • Drop the domain in the site field.

Leaving anonymous diagnostics on helps here too: domain-level site diagnostics are exactly how we spot places where Capo quietly fails.

What should I include in a bug report?

The form asks for little, so your message does the work.

  • The domain — there's a field for it
  • What you tried, and what you saw or heard
  • Your settings at the time: pitch, speed, volume, audio quality
  • An email, if you want a reply — it's optional

Version and browser attach automatically.

How do I find my Capo version number?
Settings · footer, bottom-right
Also on chrome://extensions

Open Settings — the version sits in the bottom-right corner.

  • The footer there reads Capo with the version right beside it.
  • You'll also find it on chrome://extensions.

Honestly, you rarely need to look it up: the feedback form attaches your version automatically.

How do I send feedback about confusing UI or wording?

Yes, please — use Settings → Send feedback.

  1. Open Settings → Send feedback.
  2. Pick Idea or Other.
  3. Say which language you're running and quote the phrase that read wrong.

Wording notes are especially useful if you're running Capo in one of its ten non-English languages. Translation fixes ship like any other fix.

Where can I leave a review?
Settings · About
Leave a review
Opens the right store automatically — Chrome, Edge, or Firefox

Settings → About → Leave a review opens your store's listing.

It works out the right store by itself — Chrome Web Store, Edge Add-ons, or Firefox's AMO, depending on where you installed from.

Reviews genuinely help. If something's broken, though, the feedback form gets it fixed faster.
