Chrome Extension Terms of Service

Using the extension

These terms apply to the Hashtag Sonar Chrome extension and the Hashtag Sonar services it connects to. The extension is provided under the Hashtag Sonar name at hashtagsonar.com. Contact the team at [email protected].

By using the extension, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, stop using it and uninstall it. You must be legally able to enter into this agreement, or use the service with the permission of a parent or guardian where applicable law allows this. You must also meet TikTok’s own eligibility requirements.

The Extension Privacy Policy explains data handling. It is a disclosure, not a substitute for any consent required by law. These terms specifically govern extension use; subscription details shown at checkout and mandatory consumer rights also apply.

What the extension does

The extension has one purpose: helping you research and select TikTok hashtags. Related features include searching for hashtag suggestions, comparing post counts, views, views per video and available growth, highlighting research signals, saving local hashtag sets, copying a selection and inserting selected tags into a TikTok caption.

Searching may require an open TikTok tab and an existing TikTok sign-in. Some features require a Hashtag Sonar account or a paid plan. The extension does not publish a video, follow accounts, like content or send messages for you.

Permissions and your control

Chrome permissions enable the side panel, local storage, clipboard copying, interaction with supported TikTok pages, a TikTok session-presence check and account sign-in through the Hashtag Sonar website. Website access is limited by the extension’s declared permissions to www.tiktok.com and hashtagsonar.com.

Pressing Copy hashtags writes your selected tags to the clipboard. Pressing To caption asks the extension to append those tags to a supported, active TikTok upload caption. Review your caption before publishing. Hashtag Sonar does not automatically submit your post.

You may manage site access, disable the extension or uninstall it in Chrome. Restricting permissions can prevent the corresponding features from working. See the permission-by-permission explanation.

Metrics and research signals

Metrics come from available TikTok responses and Hashtag Sonar snapshots. Counts and growth can be delayed, rounded, incomplete or unavailable. A hashtag without an earlier comparable snapshot may have no growth figure. Low competition and Fast growing are comparative research signals within the results, not predictions of your content’s performance.

We do not guarantee that a search will return a particular number of tags, that metrics are error-free, or that using any tag will produce views, followers, sales or viral reach. You are responsible for choosing relevant tags and checking results before making decisions.

Accounts and monthly allowances

You can explore using guest access or connect an existing Hashtag Sonar account through the website. Google sign-in, when used, takes place through the website and Google’s authentication flow. Keep your account and devices secure and tell us if you suspect unauthorised access.

Guest, Free, Starter and Pro access have different allowances and features. Current limits are described on the Pricing page. Extension search allowances are separate from web workspace search allowances and renew at the beginning of each calendar month, at 00:00 UTC.

One user-initiated extension search uses one unit when successfully completed, even when it makes several related requests or loads multiple result pages. A search can temporarily reserve one unit while it runs. Canceled, failed or expired reservations release that unit. Do not bypass these limits by rotating identities or creating abusive automated requests.

Subscriptions, renewals and cancellation

Installing or opening the extension does not authorise a charge. A paid plan requires a separate checkout, which displays the price, billing interval, applicable taxes and renewal terms before you confirm payment. Paddle processes subscription payments as merchant of record.

Recurring subscriptions renew according to the terms accepted at checkout until canceled. You can manage billing and cancellation through the Paddle customer portal or the personal management link in your Paddle receipt. If you cannot access it, contact [email protected] for help.

Uninstalling the extension or signing out does not cancel a paid subscription. Cancellation normally stops future renewals; access already paid for follows the cancellation terms shown for your subscription. Refund and withdrawal rights under applicable law remain available. Send payment or refund questions to our contact address; these terms do not create an additional fixed refund period.

Acceptable use and third-party rights

• Use the extension lawfully and follow TikTok’s applicable terms and platform rules.
• Respect intellectual property, privacy and other rights when choosing tags or creating content.
• Do not circumvent authentication, rate limits, plan restrictions or security measures.
• Do not use the extension to distribute malware, disrupt services, harvest private data or perform unauthorised bulk extraction.
• Do not redistribute, resell or copy the Hashtag Sonar software or database except where a licence or applicable law permits it.

You may use selected hashtag text in your own content. These terms do not claim ownership of your videos, captions or saved tag selections. Hashtag Sonar branding and original software remain the property of their respective rights holders.

Independent service and availability

Hashtag Sonar is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TikTok, Google or Chrome Web Store. Third-party names and trademarks belong to their owners.

TikTok, Chrome and external services can change their interfaces, requirements, availability or access rules. This can affect searches, sign-in, signals and caption insertion. We may update, suspend or discontinue features for compatibility, security or operational reasons. Where changes materially affect paid access, we will communicate them and respect applicable rights.

Responsibility and access restrictions

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the extension and its research data are provided as available, without a promise of uninterrupted service or a particular outcome. You remain responsible for your content, your platform activity and decisions based on hashtag data.

Nothing in these terms excludes mandatory consumer protections or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. We may restrict or end access to address abuse, security threats, non-payment or material violations. You may contact us to question a restriction.

Stopping use, changes and contact

You can stop using the extension at any time. Remove saved sets inside the extension or remove the extension and its local data through Chrome. Signing out disconnects the extension session; it does not delete your website account or cancel a subscription. Account and data deletion requests can be sent to [email protected].

We may update these terms. The date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate website or extension notice. Where a change needs fresh consent, we will request it rather than treating this page as consent.
