Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what the Claude Animation Skills Chrome extension (the side panel, its full-screen view and its welcome and microphone pages) and its server (together, “the service”) process, when, why, and what you can do about it. It describes exactly what the current version does.
1. Summary
- No account and no sign-in. We don’t show ads, don’t sell or share your data for advertising, and don’t use analytics or tracking tools.
- The extension only uses Chrome’s side panel and its own storage. It cannot read the websites you visit, your tabs, your history or the files on your computer.
- Your saved skills, the skills you got, your AI chat and your settings are stored in your browser, not on our server.
- Our server keeps a random install ID with a daily counter, the list of skills you got (so downloading again is free) and, if you subscribe, your subscription details.
- When you use the AI skill finder, your messages (and an image, if you attach one) go through our server to our AI provider to produce the answer. We do not store them.
- Voice input uses your browser’s built-in speech recognition. We receive only the text you then send, never the audio.
- Payments are handled by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record. Card details never reach us.
- “Delete all my data” in Settings erases everything in your browser and on our server that is linked to your install.
2. Who we are
The service is run by Roman Vlasov, publishing as Vlasovdev (“we”, “us”), Belarus. We decide why and how the data described here is processed (we are the “controller”). Contact for anything about privacy: vlasovteodor1@gmail.com.
The service is independent and is not made, endorsed or sponsored by Anthropic. “Claude” and “Claude Code” are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC.
3. What reaches our server
This is the complete list. Nothing else is sent, and nothing is sent in the background.
| Data | When | Why | Stored by us |
|---|---|---|---|
| Install record: a random install ID (not linked to your name, email or Google account), the time it was created and last used, the interface language and extension version, the number of free requests used today and the date, your plan and its end date | When the extension first connects to our server, and with each request | To provide the service: the daily free allowance (1 request a day), Pro access, abuse prevention | Yes, until you delete it |
| Skills you got: the skill ID, your install ID and the time | When you press “Get skill” | So that getting the same skill again is free and isn’t counted twice | Yes, until you delete it |
| Download requests: which skill zip was requested, through a signed link that expires after 30 minutes | When a download starts | To deliver the file you asked for | No (only technical logs, see below) |
| AI skill finder messages: your last messages in the current chat (up to 12, each clipped to 4,000 characters), the earlier answers’ text, the interface language and a short list of the library’s skills | Only when you send a message in “Ask AI” | To choose the right skills and write the command for you | No. Processed to answer you and not saved on our server |
| An image you attach in “Ask AI”: reduced in your browser to at most 1280 px on the long side and converted to JPEG before it is sent | Only with the message you attach it to | So the AI can understand the look or content you want | No. Not saved on our server; a small preview stays in your browser’s chat |
| Checkout records: checkout session ID, chosen plan, status and time | When you open the checkout | To activate Pro after the payment | Yes, deleted together with your install record |
| Subscription details: subscription ID, plan, status, renewal date, Dodo Payments customer ID and the email used at checkout | When you subscribe and whenever the subscription changes (Dodo Payments notifies our server) | To keep Pro active, let you manage or restore it, and for accounting | Yes, as long as accounting and tax law requires |
| Restore request: the email and order ID you enter | Only when you use “Restore purchase” | To check the purchase with Dodo Payments | No. Compared, not saved separately |
| Technical data: IP address, time, requested address on our server and browser type (user agent) | With every request to our server | Security, rate limiting and troubleshooting | Not in our database. The IP address is used in server memory for rate limits; our hosting provider keeps standard logs for a short time |
We do not ask for your name, and we don’t create profiles. We don’t combine this data with data from other sources.
4. What stays in your browser
The extension keeps the following in Chrome’s local extension storage on your device. We don’t receive it. It is removed when you use “Delete all my data” or uninstall the extension.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Saved skills and the skills you got | To show them in the library |
| Your “Ask AI” chat, including small previews of images you attached | So you can continue the conversation |
| Language, theme and the operating system chosen for install commands | Your settings |
| Whether you finished the introduction | To show it only once |
| A random access token for our server and your plan status | To use the service without an account |
5. AI skill finder, images and voice
Messages
When you send a message in “Ask AI”, the extension sends the request described in section 3 to our server, which forwards it to OpenRouter, which passes it to the AI model (currently Anthropic’s Claude Haiku). The answer comes back the same way. Our server does not store the messages or the answers and does not log their content. Under their terms, OpenRouter and Anthropic process the request to produce the answer and may keep it for a limited time for safety and abuse monitoring; they do not use it to train models by default. Answers are suggestions and can be wrong.
Please don’t enter sensitive personal information (for example health or financial details, or other people’s personal data) in the finder. It isn’t needed to find a skill.
Images
If you attach an image (with the image button or by pasting), it is resized in your browser to at most 1280 px on the long side, converted to JPEG and sent once, with that message only. Later messages refer to it as “(image)” without sending it again. We don’t store images. Only attach images you have the right to use, and avoid images that show other people or personal documents.
Voice input
Voice input uses the speech recognition built into your browser (the Web Speech API). While the microphone is on, your voice is processed by your browser’s speech service; in Google Chrome this is Google’s service, under Google’s privacy policy. The extension receives only the recognized text, puts it in the message box and sends nothing until you press send. Audio is never sent to our server or recorded by us.
Chrome can’t show its microphone prompt inside the side panel. So the first time you tap the microphone, the extension opens a small page of its own where Chrome asks you once. You can change this any time in Chrome’s site settings for the extension.
6. Skill downloads and GitHub
Every skill comes from its author’s public GitHub repository, pinned to a fixed version. When a skill’s license allows redistribution, our server downloads that version from GitHub once, packages it as a zip with its license and keeps it in our database; you then download it from our server through a link that expires after 30 minutes. Our server sends no personal data to GitHub.
When a skill’s license doesn’t allow redistribution, the extension shows you a command that downloads it directly from the author’s GitHub. Your computer then connects to GitHub, and GitHub’s privacy statement applies.
Skills run in Claude Code on your own computer. The service doesn’t run them, can’t see what you make with them and receives nothing from Claude Code.
7. Payments
Pro is sold by Dodo Payments as merchant of record. Checkout opens on their page in a new tab; your card or other payment details are entered there and never reach us or the extension. Dodo Payments processes your payment, billing and tax data under its own privacy policy. We receive the subscription details listed in section 3 so that Pro works and so you can manage, cancel or restore your subscription. Responses from Dodo Payments to our server can also contain the customer’s name and billing address; we don’t save them.
8. Permissions the extension uses
- sidePanel: shows the library in Chrome’s side panel.
- storage: keeps the data listed in section 4 on your device.
- Microphone (not a manifest permission; Chrome asks only if you use voice input): see section 5.
The extension has no host permissions and no content scripts: it cannot read or change the websites you visit. It loads no remote code; all of its code is inside the extension package.
9. Service providers
We share data only with these providers, only as needed for the purposes above, and under their terms and privacy policies:
| Provider | What for | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Railway (railway.com, United States) | Hosting of our server and database | Everything our server keeps (see the table above) |
| OpenRouter (United States) | Routes AI skill finder requests to the AI model | Your finder messages, an attached image, the language and the skill list |
| Anthropic (United States) | The AI model that writes the answer (currently Claude Haiku), reached through OpenRouter | The same request as OpenRouter forwards it |
| Dodo Payments | Merchant of record: checkout, payments, invoices, taxes, subscription management | Your payment and billing details, which you enter on their page |
| GitHub (GitHub, Inc., United States) | Source of the skill files. Our server downloads public files from the authors’ repositories; when a skill installs from the author’s GitHub, your computer connects to GitHub directly | From our server: no personal data. From your computer: what any visit to GitHub sends |
| Your browser’s speech service | Turns your speech into text when you use voice input. In Google Chrome this is Google’s speech recognition service | Your voice while the microphone is on (handled by the browser vendor, not by us) |
We don’t sell or rent personal information, and we don’t “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or users’ safety, or as part of a sale or transfer of the service, in which case this policy continues to apply.
10. Why we may process data (legal bases)
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on:
- Performance of a contract: providing what you ask for (the install record, downloads, AI answers, Pro).
- Legitimate interests: keeping the service secure and preventing abuse (rate limits, technical logs, the daily counter for the free plan).
- Legal obligations: keeping accounting and tax records for subscriptions.
- Your choice: voice input and attaching images happen only when you decide to use them.
11. How long we keep data
- Install record, skills you got and checkout records: while you use the service, until you delete them with “Delete all my data”.
- Subscription details: for as long as needed to provide Pro and then as long as accounting and tax law requires.
- AI finder messages and images: not kept by us.
- Technical logs at our hosting provider: a short time, according to the provider’s retention.
- Skill zips: kept as long as the skill is in the library. They are public files from the authors, not personal data.
12. Security
All connections to our server use HTTPS. Your install is identified by a random token signed by our server. Our API keys and secrets are kept only on the server, never in the extension. Access to the server and database is limited to the people who run the service. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect the data we keep and keep as little as possible.
13. International transfers
Our providers process data in the United States and possibly other countries, which may have different data protection laws from yours. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards offered by these providers, such as standard contractual clauses.
14. Your choices and rights
Delete all my data (Settings in the extension) erases the extension’s storage in your browser and deletes your install record, the skills you got and your checkout records from our server. Subscription records needed for accounting are kept but unlinked from your install. Deleting your data doesn’t cancel a subscription; cancel it first in Settings → Manage subscription.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy (portability);
- correct it;
- delete it;
- restrict or object to its processing;
- withdraw consent where we rely on it;
- complain to your data protection authority (in the EU/EEA, the UK, Switzerland, Brazil and elsewhere).
California and other US states: you can ask to know, access, correct and delete your personal information. We don’t sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we don’t use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics. We won’t treat you differently for using your rights.
To use a right, write to vlasovteodor1@gmail.com. Because we don’t know who you are, we may ask for your order ID or payment email, or for an action inside the extension, to find your records. We answer within one month (or the time your law requires).
15. Chrome Web Store disclosures
Google’s form counts data as “collected” when it leaves your device, even if we don’t store it. This is what we declare and what each item means here:
| Category | Declared | What it is in this extension |
|---|---|---|
| Personally identifiable information | Yes | The email you use at checkout (from Dodo Payments) and the email you enter in “Restore purchase” |
| Health information | No | — |
| Financial and payment information | Yes | Plan, status, renewal date and subscription, customer and checkout IDs. Not card numbers: those are entered only on Dodo Payments’ page |
| Authentication information | Yes | The random access token that identifies your install to our server. There are no passwords or accounts |
| Personal communications | Yes | The messages you write to the AI skill finder, and an image if you attach one |
| Location | Yes | Your IP address, which our server sees with each request. No GPS or precise location |
| Web history | No | The extension has no access to your tabs or history |
| User activity | No | We don’t record clicks, scrolling or keystrokes |
| Website content | No | The extension has no access to the pages you visit |
We certify that we don’t sell user data to third parties, don’t use or transfer it for purposes unrelated to the extension’s single purpose, and don’t use or transfer it to determine creditworthiness or for lending. The use of information received from Chrome APIs follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
16. Children
The service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires) and we don’t knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has used the service, contact us and we’ll delete the data.
17. Changes
If we change how data is processed, we’ll update this page and the date above. Material changes will also be shown in the extension before they take effect.
