Crate Neighbors for Bandcamp — Privacy policy

Effective date: October 31, 2026. Applies to version 0.1.1 of the Chrome extension and this product website.

Extension

Crate Neighbors for Bandcamp is an independent Chrome extension for music and collector discovery. It has no developer backend, analytics, subscription, or separate account system.

Data handled. The extension reads Bandcamp profile URLs and IDs, display names and pictures, purchases and wishlist metadata, followed collectors, public supporters, and release titles, artists, artwork and URLs. It uses these data to compare collections, exclude known releases and explain recommendations.

Local storage. Collections, results, the scan queue and hidden items are stored in browser IndexedDB. Language settings are stored in Chrome extension local storage. Connected profiles have separate data. Chrome cloud sync is not used.

Network. Extension requests go to Bandcamp over HTTPS. Artwork can load from Bandcamp's CDN. The platform receives ordinary requests needed to provide its pages and data. Collections, match results and usage events are not uploaded to the publisher, GitHub or analytics providers.

Authentication. Requests may use the existing browser session with Bandcamp. The extension does not ask for your password, use the cookies API, or persist authentication cookies or authentication tokens. It does not store raw HTML, purchased-music download URLs or payment details.

Retention. Cached collector data can be reused for up to 24 hours before being fetched again. Your library, results, scan queue, settings and hidden choices remain locally for your use. Expiring a cache does not remove hidden choices.

Full shared-purchase counts. A full count shown by Bandcamp is trusted only when the current signed-in account matches the connected profile. It is stored with that profile and excluded from the shared collector cache. Other profiles use matches observed in the checked sample.

User actions. You start, pause and resume scans. Listening, purchases and following take place on pages opened on the music platform. The extension does not perform those actions automatically.

Deletion. Uninstall the extension at chrome://extensions to remove its local data. Settings also let you restore hidden items and request a cache refresh.

Data use. Data is used only for the music-discovery feature. It is not sold or used for advertising, credit decisions, analytics or unrelated transfers.
