02Permissions

What BeqSpark asks your browser for.

Every permission, and why it's needed. Nothing from the pages you read leaves your browser until you run an action, and then only what that action needs.

Run on the websites you visit
So the player can appear when you select text. Chrome describes this as reading and changing data on all websites. BeqSpark only looks at what you select, and sends nothing from the page until you run an action.
The tab you use it on
Lets the toolbar button and shortcuts act on the current tab only (activeTab).
Play audio and record practice
An offscreen page plays voices and, only when you choose to practise, records your microphone.
Store settings and saved words
Your preferences and word list are kept in the browser (storage).
Reminders
Schedules and shows review reminders for words that are due, if you turn them on (alarms, notifications).
Right-click menu
Adds BeqSpark's actions to the menu when you right-click selected text (contextMenus).
Stay signed in
Reads the sign-in cookie of BeqSpark's own website, so you don't sign in twice (cookies).
Talk to BeqSpark's servers
Connects only to BeqSpark's own servers and its sign-in service; never to other websites.
