What the extension reads, and what it never does

Last updated · Applies to Label Station 1.1.1 on Windows, 1.2.0 on Mac (test builds)

The Label Station extension has one job: pass the sales from your own seller dashboard tab to the app on your computer.

It reads only the dashboard tab you chose when you pressed Start relaying. In that tab it reads the messages the page already receives about sales: auction starts and closes, payments, giveaway starts and wins, and the show’s title.

Chat, tips and raids never leave the tab.

  • It never clicks, posts, bids or changes anything on the platform. It only listens.
  • It does not read your password or login cookies, your other tabs, your browsing history, chat messages or anyone else’s show. Browsing another seller’s show in a second tab relays nothing.
  • It sends nothing to Mood Swings Design or anyone else. The sales go only to the app on your computer, and it refuses any address that is not your own computer.
  • It does not print. The app owns the printer.

The extension asks for only what it needs.

Permission Why
storage Keeps its one setting and the sales held while the app was closed, in Chrome’s storage on your computer.
sidePanel Shows the side panel.
alarms Retries held sales every half minute.
The seller site Runs in your dashboard tab to read the sale messages.
Your own computer (127.0.0.1, localhost) Reaches the app.

It asks for nothing else, such as access to your history, passwords or other sites.

  • Chrome warns about a developer mode extension. That is Chrome’s standard message for an extension loaded from a folder rather than from its store. Click Keep.
  • You want to stop it reading. Click Stop relaying, or remove the extension at chrome://extensions.
