Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters. This policy explains exactly what PlayPets does, and does not, collect, store, or transmit while bringing your little on-screen companion to life.
1. Overview
PlayPets is designed to be a friendly and cozy companion that lives directly inside your browser. It does not track your behavior, does not communicate with external servers, and does not collect personally identifiable information. All data stays on your device.
2. Information the extension stores
PlayPets stores small pieces of information locally so your experience feels consistent each time you open your browser. This includes:
- Cat position and size on the screen
- Cat visibility preferences
- Behavior modes (such as play, music, study)
- Hunger level (0–50)
- Your chosen cat name
This information is stored using Chrome’s local storage, stays on your device, and is never transmitted to any server.
3. Information the extension does not collect
PlayPets does not store, monitor, or access:
- Your browsing history
- Content on websites you visit
- Passwords, cookies, or form data
- Your IP address or location
- Analytics or usage metrics
- Personal identifying information
No data ever leaves your device. No third-party tracking or analytics are used.
4. Permissions Explanation
PlayPets requests only the minimum permissions needed for the extension to function:
- storage – Used only to save settings such as cat position and preferences.
- scripting / activeTab – Used exclusively to display the animated cat on web pages. PlayPets never reads or modifies website content.
5. How Preferences Are Used
Any data PlayPets stores is used solely to personalize the companion’s behavior — such as remembering where your cat was last placed or which activities it enjoys. The extension does not use this data for tracking, profiling, or analytics of any kind.
6. Third-Party Services
PlayPets does not use any third-party services, APIs, analytics providers, or cloud storage. No external network requests are made by the extension.
7. Security
Because PlayPets operates entirely locally and does not transmit data, the privacy and security risk is extremely low. No data is shared across websites or with the developer.
8. Children’s Privacy
PlayPets is suitable for all ages. Since no personal data is collected, the extension is safe for children to use.
9. Changes to This Policy
Any updates to this privacy policy will be posted on this page. Significant changes may be highlighted in the extension’s release notes.
