Privacy Policy – MeowFund Extension 
Effective Date: August 4, 2025 

The MeowFund browser extension is designed to help users support shelter cats through affiliate links. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union. 

This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected (if any), how it is used, and your rights as a user. 

1. No Personal Data Collection 
MeowFund does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data. Specifically, we do not collect:
* Browsing history
* IP addresses
* Personal identifiers
* Email addresses or login credentials
* Any data that could identify you as an individual
All extension functionality is performed locally in your browser using Chrome’s built-in storage. We do not use any tracking technologies or analytics tools within the extension itself. 

2. Affiliate Links and Sovrn Commerce 
When you click the "Help Now" button on a supported product page, the extension may redirect you through an affiliate platform called Sovrn Commerce. Sovrn may collect non-personal, anonymous data to track referrals, such as: 
* Referring website domain
* Clicked URL
* Device type or browser
* Timestamp of referral
This data is used solely for commission attribution and is processed by Sovrn in accordance with their own privacy practices. We do not have access to any personal or user-identifiable data. However, Sovrn may present aggregated statistics (e.g., number of clicks or commissions) in our publisher dashboard.

3.No Tracking or Profiling 
MeowFund does not track your behavior, profile your activity, or serve personalized content. The extension does not include cookies, fingerprinting scripts, advertising trackers, or analytics services. Your usage remains anonymous and private. 

4. Permissions 
To operate correctly, the extension requests the following permissions: 
"Tabs" and page URL access – used to detect when you are on a product page of a supported e-commerce website.
"Storage" access – used to locally remember your preferences (e.g., whether you clicked "Help Now" or dismissed the pop-up).
These permissions are limited to internal logic and do not transmit data to our servers or any third-party services under our control. 

5. GDPR Compliance (for EU users) 
We do not collect or process personal data, so no legal basis for consent or data processing is required under GDPR Article 6.
However, we respect the privacy rights of EU users and affirm the following: 
* We do not transfer any data to servers.
* We do not build user profiles or track behavior.
* You are free to uninstall the extension at any time.
If you have any questions regarding your rights under GDPR, feel free to contact us.
