Phase Pal Music Bridge Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 October 2026
What this policy covers
Consistency AI provides Phase Pal Music Bridge. This policy covers the Chrome extension and its local music helper. They connect supported browser music to Dance to Music in the Phase Pal desktop app. This policy does not replace the general Phase Pal privacy policy for the website, accounts, or other app features.
Data accessed on your device
On Spotify Web, YouTube Music, and SoundCloud, the extension checks whether media is playing and whether a title, artist, and playback timeline are present. It reads supported-tab URLs to identify the music provider. It can read music metadata and selected page elements, but converts title and artist text to presence flags. It does not request your browsing history, cookies, passwords, microphone, or camera.
Local audio processing
Beat Sync captures audio from a supported music tab only when Chrome permits it after you invoke the extension. Auto Beat Sync is off by default. If you enable it, the extension can request capture when supported music plays and Phase Pal reports that Dance to Music is enabled. Chrome can require another click for a new tab. Audio is processed in memory on your device to calculate energy, tempo, beat timing, confidence, and intensity. The extension keeps the tab audible. It does not record an audio file or send raw audio to the music helper, Phase Pal, or a server.
Data sent to the local app
The extension sends the installed music helper a fixed provider identifier, playback and metadata-presence flags, capture state, and compact rhythm values. Messages also contain timestamps, sequence numbers, a random browser-session identifier, and the extension version. The helper forwards validated messages to Phase Pal through an authenticated connection on your computer. The bridge does not send song names, artist names, page URLs, page text, or browsing history to Phase Pal. The bridge has no server upload or advertising endpoint.
Use and sharing limits
The bridge uses this data to show connection status and make your avatar react to music. The extension and music helper do not sell this data, use it for advertising or credit decisions, or transfer it to data brokers. They do not use music data to train AI models. Use of data received through Chrome APIs is limited to this user-facing music feature, in line with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Storage and retention
The extension saves your Auto Beat Sync preference in local Chrome extension storage. Playback state, rhythm values, and the browser-session identifier are kept in memory. Raw audio is processed in temporary memory buffers. Stopping capture closes the audio stream and resets the analyzer; it does not erase an audio recording because no recording is created. The music helper does not create a playback-history file. Its installation files and registration remain until you uninstall the helper. Phase Pal also keeps its own Dance to Music setting and a local connection descriptor. Other desktop-app data is covered by the general Phase Pal policy.
Your controls
Select Stop Beat Sync or turn Auto Beat Sync off to stop capture. Stop Beat Sync also disables automatic restart. Turning Dance to Music off in Phase Pal or losing the app connection stops capture when the extension receives that status. You can remove site access or disable the extension in Chrome. Playback detection can still run on permitted music sites while Beat Sync is off; disable the extension or remove site access to stop that access. Removing the extension removes its local Chrome preference. Uninstall the helper separately with the package uninstall command.
Website and support
Opening Setup help or this policy loads the Phase Pal website. Website hosting, cookies, consent choices, and any information you send to support are covered by the general Phase Pal privacy and cookie policies. The bridge does not attach music data to these links. Supported music services have their own privacy policies.
Policy changes and contact
We will update this page and its date if the bridge changes how it handles data. For privacy questions or requests, contact Consistency AI at the email below. Do not send audio, passwords, or connection tokens with a support request.
