Privacy Policy
The short version. The Cat Break extension collects nothing about you — your settings and time totals never leave your browser. This website, catbreak.com, is a separate thing: it uses Google Analytics and Vercel Web Analytics to count visits. The extension and the website are unrelated, and the website's analytics can never see what you browse.
1. The extension
What it stores
Everything the extension knows lives in chrome.storage on your own device:
- Your settings — default time limit, per-site limits, excluded sites, auto-dismiss duration, chosen cat, and whether random cat is on.
- Per-site time totals for the current day, plus the last reset date.
- Temporary snooze flags.
This data is never transmitted to us or anyone else. There is no account, no server, no sync, and no analytics inside the extension. Uninstalling it, or clearing its storage, removes all of it.
What it accesses while running
- The domain of your active tab and how long it has been focused, in order to enforce your limits.
- Permissions used:
tabs,storage,alarms,windows,scripting, and host access tohttp://*/*andhttps://*/*so the overlay can appear on the sites you choose to limit.
Your browsing history is read only in memory, to decide whether a limit has been reached. It is not stored beyond the daily per-site totals described above, and it is not transmitted.
The one network request it makes
Cat videos are fetched and cached from our Supabase storage bucket (pozytitruvcthhfvpqic.supabase.co). As with loading any image or video on the web, this exposes standard request metadata such as your IP address to Supabase. The request contains only the filename of the video being downloaded — no browsing history, no site names, no usage times, no identifiers.
All extension code is bundled with the extension. No executable code is fetched or run remotely; only media assets are loaded at runtime, over HTTPS.
2. This website
Google Analytics
catbreak.com uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-SFGHY3T64Y) so we can see how many people visit and which pages they read. It sets cookies in your browser and collects the usual analytics data: pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, referring site, device type, and browser. Google Analytics 4 does not log full IP addresses.
We use this only to understand traffic to the site. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles. Google processes this data as described in Google's privacy policy.
To opt out: install Google's opt-out browser add-on, enable your browser's tracking protection, or block googletagmanager.com. Blocking it has no effect on the extension, which does not use analytics at all.
Vercel Web Analytics
catbreak.com also uses Vercel Web Analytics. It counts page views without cookies and without storing anything on your device, so there is nothing for the cookie banner to ask permission for and it runs for every visitor. It records the page viewed, the referring site, and coarse device, browser and country information derived from the request. It cannot follow you to any other website.
We use it for one thing: an honest count of how many people reach this site, which Google Analytics cannot give us once the banner is declined or ignored. It also records clicks on the “Add to Chrome” buttons, so we can tell what fraction of visitors go on to the Chrome Web Store. Vercel processes this data as described in Vercel’s privacy policy.
To opt out: block /_vercel/insights/, which most content blockers already do. As with Google Analytics, blocking it has no effect on the extension.
Fonts and hosting
The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and is hosted on Vercel. Both receive your IP address as a normal consequence of serving the page.
Uninstall feedback
If you uninstall the extension, Chrome may open catbreak.com/uninstall.html afterward. That page is optional. If you submit it, we receive the reason you choose and any note you type, so we can improve Cat Break. We do not get your browsing history, Chrome profile, or an account identity from this form.
3. What we never do
- We do not sell personal data.
- We do not use your browsing history for advertising.
- We do not transmit anything the extension records about your browsing.
- We do not require an account, so we hold no email address, password, or profile.
4. Children
Cat Break is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
5. Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top will change with it. The history of this file is public in the GitHub repository, so you can see exactly what changed and when.
