PetMood Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 19, 2026

PetMood is a Chrome extension that shows animations of your own pet's photos while you browse. This policy explains exactly what data the extension handles. The short version: everything stays on your device, and we collect nothing.

What PetMood stores

All data is stored locally in your browser and never leaves your device:

• Pet photos you upload — the original image, a background-removed cutout, and a small thumbnail. These are saved in your browser's local IndexedDB storage on your computer only.
• Your settings — your name, your pet's name, how often the pet appears, and the on/off state. Saved via chrome.storage.local on your device.

What PetMood does NOT do

• It does not upload your photos anywhere.
• It does not read, collect, or transmit the content of the websites you visit.
• It does not collect personal information, browsing history, analytics, or any tracking data.
• It has no accounts, no servers, and no advertising.

Network activity

PetMood makes exactly one kind of network request: on first use it downloads an open-source AI background-removal model (briaai/RMBG-1.4) from the Hugging Face content delivery network (huggingface.co). This download fetches model data only so that background removal can run locally in your browser. No photos, settings, browsing data, or any other personal information are sent in this request or anywhere else.

Permissions

• alarms — schedules the periodic timer that decides when your pet appears.
• storage — saves your settings on your device.
• unlimitedStorage — lets your pet photos be stored in IndexedDB without the default size cap (you can add up to 100 photos).

Data deletion

Because all data is local, removing it is entirely in your control. Deleting photos in the extension's options, or uninstalling the extension, removes the stored data from your device.
