Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 16, 2026

This policy explains what data the Peite Chrome extension ("the extension," "we," "it") collects, how it's used, and who it's shared with. It's written to match exactly what's declared in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing and its manifest — if the two ever disagree, this document is out of date and should be updated before resubmission.

Summary

History, time-on-page, and domain-list data stay local to your own browser and are never sent anywhere. AI features work differently: they require registering with an email address, which is collected and stored — by us, on the Peite service that powers those features — and your requests to those features pass through that service on their way to Anthropic.

We do not sell or share your email with advertisers or data brokers, and Anthropic never receives your email at all — only the Peite service does.

What data the extension collects

Data	What it is	Where it's stored	Sent anywhere?
Browsing history	Page URL, title, domain, and visit timestamp	Locally (browser storage)	No
Time-on-page	How long each page was the focused, active tab	Locally, attached to the matching history entry	No
Domain lists	Your synced whitelist/blacklist and any temporary domains you add	Locally	No (the sync itself is a read-only fetch of a public JSON file)
Email address	Given once, to register for AI features	Stored on the Peite service's database (not just locally)	Yes — to the Peite service, when you register. It also emails you a password (stored only as a salted hash). Not sent to Anthropic.
Password	A password generated at registration and emailed to you, proving you control that inbox; you can change it any time	Stored on the Peite service only as a salted hash, never in plain text	Emailed to you once (and again if you use Forgot password). Never sent to Anthropic.
Registration ID	A unique ID generated in exchange for your email; acts as your credential for AI requests	Locally, and on the Peite service's database (linked to your email)	Sent to the Peite service with every AI request. Not sent to Anthropic.
Page content (AI safety check)	Visible text, page title, meta description, form structure (never field values), and external link domains of the page you're on	Not stored — read only at the moment you click "Check this page," then discarded	Yes: to the Peite service, which forwards it to Anthropic, only when you click that button
Browsing summary (AI Insights)	An aggregated summary — time per domain, visit counts, time-of-day patterns — for your selected date range	Not stored separately — derived from local history at the moment you click "Analyze"	Yes: to the Peite service, which forwards it to Anthropic, only when you click that button

Beyond your email address, we do not collect health information, financial or payment information, authentication credentials (passwords, form values), personal communications, or location data.

How your data is used

Browsing history and time-on-page data power the extension's own stats page and CSV/JSON export — features you use directly, for yourself.
Domain lists decide whether a page you navigate to loads normally, shows a warning, or is blocked.
Your email address is used solely to create and look up your registration, and to send your password (at registration or when you use Forgot password). It is not used for marketing, not added to a mailing list, and not shared with Anthropic or anyone else.
Your registration ID authenticates and rate-limits your AI requests on the Peite service.
Page content and browsing summaries sent for AI analysis are used solely to generate the response you requested, then forwarded to Anthropic and not retained by the Peite service beyond what's needed to serve that single request.

None of this data is used for advertising, analytics about you, or any purpose other than the feature you're actively using.

Who your data is shared with

The Peite service (operated by us) — receives your email at registration, and page content or browsing summaries when you use an AI feature, to forward those requests to Anthropic and return the result.
Anthropic — receives the page content or browsing summary for a single AI request, forwarded by the Peite service using its own server-side API key. Anthropic does not receive your email address or registration ID. Anthropic's own privacy policy and API terms govern how they handle that request.
The Peite service's server (www.peite.eu) — besides the AI proxy above, this same server hosts a static JSON file listing whitelisted/blacklisted domains, which the extension periodically fetches. This is a one-way, read-only request; no data about you or your browsing is sent as part of it.
No one else. We don't sell, rent, or otherwise transfer your email, registration ID, or browsing data to third parties, and we don't run any advertising or analytics pipeline around this data.

Data retention and your controls

Clear Data (popup) — wipes all locally collected history/duration data. This never touched the Peite service and has no effect on your registration.
Remove (Account settings, stats page) — clears your registration ID and email from this browser's local storage. This does not delete your email or registration record from the Peite service's database — that record persists server-side until the operator deletes it. Contact us (below) if you want it fully deleted; there is currently no self-service deletion endpoint.
Clear (session bypasses, stats page) — clears any blacklist domains you've temporarily allowed.
Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data from your browser. It does not delete your registration record from the Peite service — see the note above.

Session-only data (the currently-tracked tab's timer, temporary domain overrides, blacklist bypasses) is cleared automatically when your browser restarts.

Permissions this extension uses

In short: history, tabs, and activeTab let it read and display your own browsing data back to you; storage and alarms let it save your data and run periodic tasks locally; declarativeNetRequest and webNavigation power the domain-blocking feature; scripting and the content script power the optional page-safety-check feature; and the host permissions allow the extension to reach the Peite service (registration, AI features) and the public domain-list file it also hosts. The extension itself never connects to Anthropic directly — only the Peite service does, from its own server.

Children's privacy

This extension is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.

Security

Data stored locally is protected by Chrome's own extension storage sandboxing. Your registration ID functions as a bearer credential for AI requests — anyone with local access to your browser profile could, in principle, use it, the same as any other locally-stored credential. Server-side, we're responsible for securing the Peite service's Anthropic API key and its registrations database.

Changes to this policy

If what the extension collects or does changes, this document will be updated to match, along with the corresponding Chrome Web Store listing disclosures. Check the effective date above to see when it was last revised.
