1 Who we are
Hookcord ("we", "us", "the extension") is a free Chrome browser extension built by Vapih that helps you visually create and send Discord webhook messages and embeds. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how.
2 What we collect
We do not collect any personal data. We do not have analytics, trackers, advertising, fingerprinting, or any server that receives information about you.
3 Data the extension stores (on your device)
To work, Hookcord saves the following locally in your own browser using Chrome's storage. This data never leaves your browser except as described in section 4:
- Webhook URLs you enter or save, plus their labels.
- Drafts, embeds, templates and custom variables you create.
- Send history and scheduled sends (stored only on your device).
- Preferences such as your light/dark theme choice.
Some of this (saved webhooks, templates, custom variables) uses Chrome Sync storage, which Chrome may sync across your own signed-in devices through your Google account. This syncing is handled entirely by Google Chrome — we never receive or see it.
4 Sending messages
When you press send, the message is delivered directly from your browser to Discord's webhook API using the webhook URL you provided. We are not a middle-man and your message content does not pass through any Hookcord server (we don't have one).
5 Permissions we request & why
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| storage | Save your drafts, webhooks, templates and preferences on your device. |
| alarms | Fire scheduled sends at the time you chose. |
| sidePanel | Show the Hookcord builder in Chrome's side panel. |
| discord.com/api/webhooks | Send your messages to the Discord webhook you specify. We only talk to Discord webhook endpoints. |
6 Third parties
Discord: messages you send are delivered to Discord and are subject to Discord's own Privacy Policy and Terms.
Donations: if you choose to donate, the donation page is opened on our payment partner (Vapih Pay) in a new tab. Hookcord does not collect or store any payment details.
7 Data security
Because your data stays in your browser, its security depends on your device and your Google/Chrome account. Treat your webhook URLs like passwords — anyone who has a webhook URL can post to that channel.
8 Children
Hookcord is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect any information from them.
9 Removing your data
You can clear everything at any time from the extension's Settings → Reset All Data, or by removing the extension from Chrome.
10 Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will always reflect the latest version.
