Privacy Policy for KatFinder

Last Updated: April 27, 2026

KatFinder (“we,” “our,” or “the Extension”) is committed to providing a fun, productive tab management experience while respecting your absolute right to privacy. This policy explains how we handle data.

1. Data Collection and Usage

KatFinder is designed with a Privacy-First architecture.

No Personal Data: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or browsing history to any external servers.
Local Processing: All logic used to determine your “Cat Mood” (tab counting) and “Heatmapping” (last-accessed timestamps) happens entirely on your local machine.

2. Permissions and Why We Need Them

To provide the core features of KatFinder, the extension requires the following permissions:

Permission	Purpose
`tabs`	Used to count open tabs to update the Cat’s mood and identify “stale” or duplicate tabs for “Heatmapping” and “Pounce” features.
`storage`	Used to save earned “Fish Treats,” unlocked Shop items, and UI preferences. This data stays on your device.
`alarms`	Used to periodically check for stale tabs in the background.

3. Data Storage

All data generated by KatFinder, including your game progress and shop unlocks, is stored using the chrome.storage.local API.

Note: This data is stored locally on your computer and is automatically deleted if you uninstall the extension.

We never sell, trade, or share your data with third parties. There is no background tracking, no analytics pings, and no remote advertisements.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our features or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted here on GitHub.
