Privacy Policy
Effective: May 14, 2026
YourMother is a Chrome extension that plays a voice clip when you switch to a tab outside your approved-sites list. This policy explains what the extension does and doesn't do with your data.
Short version
Nothing leaves your computer. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your data. We have no servers, no accounts, no analytics. Your mom does, though.
What gets stored on your device
The extension stores two things in your browser's built-in local storage (chrome.storage.local):
- The list of websites you've added as "approved" sites
- Whether the extension is currently on or off
This data is stored only in your browser, on your computer. It is not transmitted anywhere, not shared with us, and not shared with any third party. Uninstalling the extension deletes it.
What the extension reads
To detect when you switch to a non-approved tab, the extension reads:
- The URL of your currently active browser tab (specifically, the domain — e.g.
github.com) - When you switch between tabs
The active tab's domain is used only for a local comparison against your approved-sites list. It is never logged, stored, or transmitted off your computer.
What we don't do
- We don't collect personal information.
- We don't track your browsing history.
- We don't use analytics or telemetry.
- We don't show ads.
- We don't sell, share, or transfer data to any third party.
- We don't require an account.
Audio clips
All voice clips ship bundled inside the extension as static .mp3 files. No audio is streamed from any server, and no network request is made when a clip plays.
Permissions explained
tabs— to detect when you switch tabs and read the active tab's domain.offscreen— required by Chrome to play audio from a Manifest V3 extension.storage— to save your approved-sites list and on/off toggle locally.
