 ## Unreleased
 
 ### Added
-- **Extension: Shared title privacy setting** - Advanced users can now choose whether KoalaSync shares full tab/media titles, only detected episode identifiers such as `S01E04`, or no shared titles at all. The default remains full titles for backwards compatibility.
+- **Extension: Privacy title controls** - Advanced users can now disable sending browser tab titles separately from media titles. Media titles can still be sent in full, reduced to detected episode identifiers such as `S01E04`, or hidden entirely. Defaults remain full titles for backwards compatibility.

 3. All peers' videos freeze. The UI shows an "Episode Lobby" card with peer readiness status.
 4. Each peer's `content.js` polls for the new title to appear in the `<video>` element's metadata.
 5. Once a peer detects the matching title, they send `EPISODE_READY`.

 ## 1. Data Processing (In-Memory Only)
 KoalaSync does not use a database. All active session data exists only in the server's RAM and is purged immediately when no longer needed.
-- **Session Data**: To synchronize playback, the server must temporarily hold your `peerId` and `username`. By default, KoalaSync also shares the selected tab title and media title with the room so peers can identify matching videos and coordinate episode transitions. You can change the Shared Titles privacy setting to send only a detected episode identifier (for example `S01E04`) or hide shared titles entirely. Playback metadata (`playbackState`, `currentTime`, `volume`, `muted`) is held per peer for the duration of the session. All of this is deleted as soon as you leave the room.
+- **Session Data**: To synchronize playback, the server must temporarily hold your `peerId` and `username`. By default, KoalaSync also shares the selected tab title and media title with the room so peers can identify matching videos and coordinate episode transitions.

Playback metadata (`playbackState`, `currentTime`, `volume`, `muted`) is held per peer for the duration of the session. All of this is deleted as soon as you leave the room.
 - **Room Passwords**: If you set a room password, it is stored only as an in-memory **keyed SHA-256 HMAC hash**. The server receives the plaintext password only during join validation, never stores it, and keeps only the hash for the short room lifetime.
 - **Routing Maps**: The server maintains ephemeral lookup tables (`socketToRoom`, `peerToSocket`) to route messages between peers. These contain only transport identifiers and are purged on disconnect.
