Privacy Policy
For the Low Frequency Research Chrome extension · Last updated July 4, 2026
Low Frequency Research is a Chrome side-panel extension that displays public RSS feeds about infrasound and low-frequency noise, and provides two optional forms (an app waitlist and a "Share Your Story" submission). This policy explains what data the extension handles.
What we collect
The extension does not collect, sell, or transmit your browsing history, the pages you visit, or any personal data automatically.
-
•
Local settings. The extension stores your
last-viewed feed tab using Chrome's
storage.local. This stays on your device and is never sent anywhere. - • Forms you choose to submit. If you submit the waitlist or "Share Your Story" form, the information you type — an email address, and optionally a name, location, and the story text — is sent to Formspree, which forwards it to LFResearch. We receive only what you voluntarily enter.
Network requests
To display feeds, the extension fetches public RSS data directly from its sources
(news.google.com and www.reddit.com).
If a direct fetch fails, it falls back to api.rss2json.com and
then the CORS proxy api.allorigins.win. These requests contain only
the public feed URLs being fetched — no personal information.
Third-party content
Feed items link to third-party websites. Opening them is subject to those sites' own privacy policies. Inclusion of a source is not an endorsement.
Data use, sharing, and retention
Information you submit through the forms is used solely to respond to your waitlist request or to review your story. It is not sold, not shared with third parties beyond the form processor (Formspree), and not used for any purpose unrelated to the extension's function.
