Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

The short version

Pocket Pet is private by default. Everything you save stays on your device unless you choose to sign in and sync. There is no tracking, no ads, and no data collection. Sign-in is optional and only used to sync your data across devices.

What data is stored locally

Pocket Pet stores the following data in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage APIs:

• Links — page title, URL, favicon URL, and tags for each saved link.
• Notes — note titles and text content.
• Files — file name, type, size, and the file content (as base64 data URL). Files are always local-only and never synced.
• Nudges — reminder text, due date, and completion status.
• Settings — your chosen pet, pet name, size, theme, aura, greeting preferences, and visible tabs.
• Pet position — x/y coordinates per website for where you placed the pet.
• Hidden domains — websites where you've chosen to hide the pet.

Optional sign-in and sync

You can optionally sign in with Google to sync your links, notes, and nudges across devices. When you sign in:

• Your email address is stored by our sync provider (Supabase) to identify your account.
• Your links, notes, and nudges are synced to encrypted cloud storage so they're available on all your browsers.
• Your settings, files, and pet positions remain local-only and are never uploaded.
• Signing in also unlocks exclusive pets (Chameleon, Bird), all themes, and all auras.

You can sign out at any time. You can also delete your account from within the extension, which permanently removes all synced data from the cloud. Your local data remains on your device.

What we do NOT collect

• No analytics or telemetry in the extension
• No browsing history — the pet never reads or tracks the pages you visit
• No cookies or tracking pixels
• No data shared with third parties
• No advertising

Permissions explained

• storage — required to save your links, notes, files, nudges, and settings.

Third-party services

Supabase is used as the sync backend when you sign in. Supabase stores your email, links, notes, and nudges with encryption at rest. Supabase's privacy policy is available at supabase.com/privacy.

Google OAuth is used for sign-in authentication. Google's privacy policy applies to the sign-in process.

Uninstallation

When you uninstall Pocket Pet, all locally stored data is removed from your browser. If you signed in and synced, your cloud data remains until you delete your account from within the extension.

Children's privacy

Pocket Pet does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

Website analytics

This website (getpocketpet.com) uses Vercel Web Analytics to count anonymous page views. This does not track individual users, store cookies, or collect personal information. The Pocket Pet extension itself contains zero analytics code.

Changes to this policy

If we change this privacy policy, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
