Privacy policy

Pulseous for Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox · effective 26 September 2026

The short version: The Pulseous extension collects no personal data. It has no website access, no servers, no analytics, no accounts and no tracking. Everything it reads stays on your computer. This website counts visits, without cookies: see This website.

What Pulseous accesses

Pulseous reads one thing: the public status feed for Claude's services, at https://status.claude.com/api/v2/summary.json. This is the same information shown on status.claude.com, published by Anthropic for anyone to read. Pulseous requests it every five minutes while your browser is running, and when you open the popup. The request carries no login, cookies or identifiers.

Pulseous asks your browser for access to no websites. It cannot read, change or observe any page you visit, on any site.

What Pulseous stores

Pulseous keeps the most recent status result in your browser's local extension storage on your computer: the state of each service, any open incidents and maintenance windows, and the time of the last check. If a check fails, it also keeps the error message. Nothing is stored anywhere else. Removing the extension deletes it.

Where your data goes

Nowhere. Pulseous sends no information to the developer or to any third party. Its only network request is the read of the public status feed described above. It contains no analytics, crash reporting or advertising code.

The coffee link

The Chrome, Edge and Firefox editions are free, and their popup has a "buy me a coffee" link. It is an ordinary link: Pulseous sends nothing to Buy Me a Coffee and nothing happens unless you click it. If you do, that site's own privacy policy applies. The Safari edition has no such link.

This website

pulseous.app counts its visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, so the developer can see how many people find Pulseous. It uses no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. For each page view it records the page, the site you came from, your country, your browser, operating system and device type, and how quickly the page loaded. Cloudflare says it discards your IP address at its nearest data centre, doesn't track people across websites, and doesn't collect or use visitors' personal data; Cloudflare explains what it collects. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, whose own privacy statement covers its server logs. None of this involves the Pulseous extension, which collects nothing.

Third-party services

status.claude.com is operated by Anthropic, PBC, using Atlassian Statuspage. Reading it is subject to their terms. Pulseous is not affiliated with Anthropic or Atlassian.

Children

Pulseous is not directed at children under 13. The extension collects no data from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
