claudeKarma Privacy Policy
claudeKarma is a free Chrome extension that tracks your Claude AI usage limits at a glance. We built it to help you stay aware of your sessions, weekly caps, peak hours, and per-model usage, all without trading your privacy for the feature set.
What claudeKarma stores on your device
All usage data the extension reads from Claude.ai stays local in your
browser, in chrome.storage.local. This includes:
- Current 5-hour session percentage and reset time
- 7-day weekly cap percentage and reset time
- Per-model usage (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, Claude Design)
- Daily routines counter (Max plans only)
- Your usage history snapshots, kept for 14 days on a rolling window
- Karma Levels progress (local milestone tracker, never sent off-device)
- Your settings (refresh interval, notification thresholds, language, organization ID)
This data never leaves your browser unless you explicitly export it.
What claudeKarma sends out from your device
Two outbound network requests are made by the extension while it runs, and one Chrome-initiated navigation when you uninstall.
- Claude.ai: the extension calls Claude.ai's own API endpoints (the same ones the Claude.ai web app uses) to read your usage data. This uses your existing Claude.ai session cookies, the same way the website does. We do not collect, log, or proxy this data.
-
static.tokenkarma.app/peak-schedule.json: a public configuration file that tells the extension when Anthropic's peak hours are. The fetch is anonymous (no auth, no cookies, no user identifier), refreshed every 12 hours. The same response is served to every user. Cloudflare Pages logs the request count for aggregate visibility but does not link requests to individuals. -
tokenkarma.app/bye/claudekarma: when you remove the extension, Chrome (not the extension) opens this page in your browser. The URL contains the version number, your browser language and your operating system as plain query parameters, so we can understand which combinations leave. No personal identifier is included. The page itself runs Meta Pixel and PostHog to measure how many users complete the optional feedback form. You can close the tab to skip everything.
What claudeKarma does NOT do
- No analytics inside the extension (no Google Analytics, no PostHog, no Meta Pixel embedded in the extension code)
- No third-party tracking SDKs
- No fingerprinting
- No selling, sharing, or licensing of your data to third parties
- No use of your data for advertising or for AI model training
- No reading or storing of your Claude.ai password (the extension uses your existing browser session)
Companion website analytics
The companion site tokenkarma.app uses Cloudflare Web
Analytics on most pages. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and
does not track individual visitors across sessions. The
post-uninstall feedback page
(/bye/claudekarma/) and the optional
AI-stack survey page
(/survey/ai-stack/) additionally load
Meta Pixel and PostHog to measure conversion on those specific
funnels.
Permissions claudeKarma asks for
| Permission | Why we need it |
|---|---|
storage | Save your settings and cached usage data on your device |
alarms | Refresh your usage data on a schedule (default every 5 minutes) |
notifications | Optionally alert you when you cross a usage threshold |
host_permissions: https://claude.ai/* | Read your usage data via Claude.ai's own API |
Open source posture
claudeKarma started open source. Starting with v1.3.0, the source remains available for security review on request, but we are not actively maintaining a public mirror to keep brand and conversion logic consolidated under tokenkarma. The compiled extension submitted to the Chrome Web Store is the authoritative version.
