Versa: Spotify Lyrics Translator — Last updated June 17, 2026

      Versa collects no personal data. All translation happens directly in your browser. No servers, no tracking, no accounts.
    

What Versa does

Versa is a Chrome extension that detects lyrics on open.spotify.com and injects translations inline, directly beneath each lyric line.

Data collected

Versa does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information. Specifically:

No name, email, or account information
No browsing history or web activity
No location data
No keystrokes or user interactions beyond what is needed to detect shortcut keys you configure

User preferences (local storage only)

Versa stores the following settings using chrome.storage.sync so your preferences persist across devices signed into Chrome:

Target translation language
Display mode (bilingual / translation-only)
UI settings: font size, opacity, line spacing, accent color
Keyboard shortcut bindings
Recently used languages (up to 3)
Auto-detect toggle state

These values are preference flags only — no lyric content, no identifiers, no usage data.

Translation requests

Lyric text is sent to Google's public translation endpoint (translate.googleapis.com) directly from your browser. Versa has no backend server. Your browser makes the request — not any server operated by Versa. Google's own Privacy Policy governs those requests.

Translations are cached in memory for the session, so each unique lyric line is sent to Google at most once per session.

Permissions used

storage — saves your UI preferences via chrome.storage.sync
host: open.spotify.com — injects the translation spans and settings panel into the Spotify web player
host: translate.googleapis.com — allows the service worker to call Google Translate directly from your browser

Third-party services

Versa uses Google Translate's public endpoint. No other third-party services are used. No analytics, no crash reporting, no ads.

Remote code

Versa does not load or execute any remote code. All JavaScript is bundled inside the extension package.

Children's privacy

Versa does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

Any updates to this policy will be reflected on this page with a revised date.
