VidSwipe Lite is a Chrome extension that finds the playable video and audio on the web page you are viewing and saves the file you choose to your Downloads folder. This policy explains what stays on your device, the connections the extension makes, and the only information we ever receive.
What the extension keeps on your device
- The media detected for each tab is held in
chrome.storage.session, which Chrome clears automatically when the browser closes. - There is no persistent storage and no account. Nothing about what you browse or download is written to disk by the extension or synced anywhere.
Connections the extension makes on its own
- Downloading what you save. When you save a file, the extension downloads the media and its playlists directly from the site hosting them.
- YouTube thumbnails. When you open the popup on a YouTube page,
it loads that video's thumbnail from Google's image server
(
i.ytimg.com). This request tells Google the video's ID and your IP address. - The optional desktop app, on your own computer. If the
companion VidSwipe desktop app is installed, the popup contacts
http://127.0.0.1:8710, an address on your own computer that never leaves your machine.
The extension sends nothing to us automatically. There is no analytics, telemetry, tracking, advertising, or usage reporting.
The bug report form: the only data we receive
The only way information reaches us is if you choose to send a bug report. In the extension you press “Found a bug? Submit it”, which opens a report form hosted on this website, and then you press Send.
Opening the form sends nothing. The technical details travel in the
part of the web address after the #, which browsers never transmit to a
server. They are shown to you in the form, and you can edit or delete any of them before
sending.
When you press Send, we receive:
- the extension version;
- your browser and operating system;
- the address of the page you were on;
- whether the desktop app was detected;
- a summary of the media found;
- up to four detected media addresses;
- the description you typed; and
- your email address, if you provide one.
The report is delivered to us through Formspree, a third-party form service acting on our behalf; as with any web request, that submission records your IP address and user-agent. All of this is used only to diagnose and fix bugs. It is never sold, shared, or used for advertising or profiling.
The email you type is collected by this website
Email is optional. When you provide it, you type it into the report form on this website (ascendedent.com), so it is collected by the website, not by the extension. The extension only opens the form; it does not read or handle your email. We use the email only to reply to you about your report, and it is deleted together with the report.
The Review button
The Review button opens our listing on the Chrome Web Store in a new tab. It sends nothing.
How long we keep reports, and how to delete yours
- Bug reports, and any email attached to them, are kept for up to 12 months and then deleted.
- You can ask us to delete your report at any time by emailing info@ascendedent.com. Please include enough detail for us to find it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the “Last updated” date above will be revised and the new version published at this same URL.

Questions about this policy, or requests to delete a bug report you sent, can be emailed to info@ascendedent.com, or sent through the Ascended Entertainment contact page.
