# Privacy Policy — Token Counter

**Last Updated:** 2026-09-06

This policy is published at <https://tokencounter.online/privacy> and is the canonical
version.

## Overview

Token Counter displays your usage limits and conversation token estimates on claude.ai
and chatgpt.com. It runs entirely on your device. It has no backend, no analytics, and
no external servers of any kind.

Because nothing it reads or produces is ever transmitted off your device, the extension
does not "collect" data as the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy defines that term.

## Data Collection and Storage

We do not collect any data. Nothing is transmitted to us or to any third party.
Everything the extension stores is a cache and never leaves your device. All of it is
removed when you remove the extension from Chrome.

## Network Access

The extension communicates only with claude.ai and chatgpt.com — the sites you are
already signed into. It makes no other network requests.

Two exceptions, both ordinary page opens on this site, like clicking a link, and neither
URL carries any data about you: on first install the extension opens a single tab to
<https://tokencounter.online/welcome>, and when you remove it Chrome opens
<https://tokencounter.online/uninstall>. The uninstall page embeds an optional
one-question Google Form; your answer goes to Google Forms only if you submit it.

The extension relies on your existing login session on each site. It never asks for,
accesses or transmits your password, and never sends any credential to us or to any
third party. On chatgpt.com that session includes an access token the site issues to
your browser; the extension reads it from chatgpt.com and sends it only back to
chatgpt.com, as the authorization on its usage and conversation requests there.

## Permissions

The extension uses three Chrome permissions:

- `storage` — the local cache described above. It never leaves your device.
- `webRequest` — watches the requests you send to the two sites to read each message’s
  model and settings. Nothing is blocked or modified.
- `scripting` — puts the counter into claude.ai and chatgpt.com tabs that were already
  open when the extension was installed or updated, without a refresh. Only the
  extension’s own bundled code, never on any other site.

## Data Sharing

No data is collected, transmitted, sold, or shared. There is no analytics, tracking, or
advertising.

This extension’s handling of user data adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy,
including the Limited Use requirements.

## Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the revised version will be published at
<https://tokencounter.online/privacy> with an updated "Last Updated" date. Any change to
what the extension reads or stores will be reflected here no later than the release of
the version that makes it.
