Hamlytics Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Summary
Hamlytics is a Chrome extension that analyzes publicly available TikTok profile information you view in your browser. We do not sell personal data and we do not collect sensitive personal information.
Data We Collect
Hamlytics processes TikTok page data locally in your browser. The extension does not transmit TikTok page content to the developer’s servers. If you enter a Pro token, the token is sent to a license validation endpoint to confirm Pro status.
What the Extension Accesses
- Website content (TikTok pages you open): The extension reads publicly visible profile/video metrics (e.g., views, and in Pro mode likes/comments if available) to generate analytics.
- User activity: The extension responds to your clicks (e.g., Scan, Export). It does not perform keystroke logging or tracking across sites.
- Authentication information (Pro token): If you purchase Pro and paste a Pro token, it is stored locally in
chrome.storage on your device to unlock Pro features. When you activate Pro, the token is sent to the license validation endpoint (/api/license/validate) to verify your Pro status.
How We Use Data
- To display analytics inside the extension popup and side panel.
- To export results to CSV/JSON files when you request an export.
- To remember your Pro status/token locally on your device.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties. Hamlytics does not transmit TikTok page content to the developer’s servers. The only network request from the extension is optional Pro token license validation when you choose to activate Pro.
Data Storage & Retention
- Local storage: Pro token/status and cached results may be stored locally on your device using Chrome’s extension storage.
- Exports: If you export CSV/JSON, those files are saved to your device via Chrome Downloads at your request.
Permissions Explained
- activeTab / tabs: Needed to identify the currently active TikTok profile tab when you click Scan or open the side panel.
- host permissions (https://www.tiktok.com/*): Needed so the extension can run on TikTok profile pages you visit.
- scripting: Needed to execute the content script that reads publicly visible metrics on the page.
- storage: Needed to store Pro token/status and settings locally.
- downloads: Needed to export CSV/JSON files to your computer when you click Export.
- sidePanel: Needed to show the optional side panel UI.
Children’s Privacy
Hamlytics is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
