Privacy Policy — PurePlay

Last updated: May 9, 2026

PurePlay is a Chrome extension that automatically blocks AI-generated artists on Spotify. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored.

Summary

PurePlay stores all data locally on your device. It does not collect, transmit, or sell personal information. No PurePlay servers exist. The only network requests go to Spotify (to block artists using your existing session) and GitHub (to download a public community list).

Data Accessed

Spotify Session Token

When you use Spotify Web Player, PurePlay reads the temporary authentication token that Spotify creates in your browser. This token is used solely to send block and unblock requests to Spotify on your behalf — the same action you would take manually through the Spotify interface. The token is stored in chrome.storage.session and is automatically cleared when you close Chrome.

Spotify Username

Your Spotify user ID is read from the Spotify API to associate block requests with your account. This is required by Spotify's API. It is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to any PurePlay server.

Blocked Artist Data

PurePlay stores a list of blocked artist IDs and names locally on your device, so it can avoid redundant block requests on future syncs and display your blocked artist history in the settings page.

Extension Settings

Your preferences (sync frequency, detection thresholds, whitelist) are stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage APIs.

Where Data Is Stored

chrome.storage.session — Spotify auth token. Cleared automatically when Chrome closes.
chrome.storage.local — Blocked artist list, settings, whitelist. Stays on your device until you clear it or uninstall the extension.

No data is stored on any external server owned or operated by PurePlay.

External Services
