Short version: Browser Pet collects nothing. No personal data, no analytics, no tracking, no servers. Everything the extension stores lives exclusively on your own device and is never transmitted anywhere.
1 Who we are
Browser Pet is a hobby Chrome extension created by moses-ai.com. It is not operated by a company. There is no backend, no user accounts, and no external services.
2 What data is stored
The extension uses chrome.storage.local — Chrome's built-in device-local key-value store — to remember two things between browser sessions:
- Your pet's state (animal type, position, hunger / energy / happiness levels, current activity)
- Your to-do list items (text and checked/unchecked status)
3 What data is NOT collected
- No names, email addresses, or any personal identifiers
- No browsing history or page URLs
- No analytics, crash reports, or telemetry
- No cookies
- No advertising identifiers
- No content from the pages you visit is read or transmitted
4 Permissions explained
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions:
- storage — to save pet state and to-do items on your device
- tabs — to coordinate which tab the pet is currently on, so it can migrate between tabs and the popup can find it. Tab URLs and content are never read or stored.
5 The "eat page elements" feature
This optional feature (disabled by default) causes the pet to remove visible HTML elements from web pages you visit. This happens locally in your browser only — no page content is sent anywhere. Removed elements are gone only for your current page session; a page refresh restores them.
You can enable or disable this at any time from the extension popup.
6 Third-party services
Browser Pet does not use any third-party SDKs, analytics services, CDNs, or external API calls. The extension makes no network requests of any kind.
7 Data retention and deletion
All stored data is deleted automatically when you uninstall the extension from Chrome. You can also clear it manually at any time via chrome://extensions → Browser Pet → Details → Clear data.
8 Children's privacy
Browser Pet does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since no data is collected at all, COPPA compliance is inherent.
9 Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date. Given the privacy-by-design nature of the extension, significant changes are unlikely.
