Privacy Policy
Last updated 26 October 2026
Petiction is a Chrome extension and website run by Rextertech ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect when you use the extension, the website at petiction.com and your Petiction account, and what we do with it.
- Your pets read web pages only inside your browser, to find places to stand and words to say. Page content and your browsing history never leave your computer.
- When you sign in with Google we keep your name, email address and profile picture so your pets, treats and purchases follow you.
- If you connect a calendar, we read only meeting titles, times and join links, to remind you before meetings. We never change your calendar.
- We don't sell your data and don't show ads.
- Email info@rextertech.com and we'll delete your account and its data.
1. What stays in your browser
The extension runs on the pages you visit so your pets can walk on links, headings and pictures. To do that it looks at the layout and text of the page you're on. The dog and parrot may say words from the page out loud. All of this happens on your computer. We don't collect, store or send the pages you visit, their content or your browsing history.
Settings such as pet size, the paw button and focus sessions are saved in Chrome's own storage on your device.
2. What we collect
| Data | Where it comes from | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email address, profile picture, Google account ID | Google sign-in | To create your account and sign you in on any device |
| Username, pets (species, name, coat, level, hunger, happiness), treats, streaks, achievements, cosmetics | You, while using Petiction | To keep your pets and progress in sync across your browsers |
| Preferences, including the list of websites where you've hidden your pets (website addresses only) | You | To apply your settings everywhere you're signed in |
| Friends and notes (up to 160 characters) you send to friends | You | To deliver notes to the friend you chose. Only you and that friend can see them |
| Calendar names, meeting titles, start and end times and join links | Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook, only if you connect one | To have your pet remind you before a meeting |
| Orders: what you bought, the amount, currency, Razorpay order and payment IDs | Checkout | To give you what you paid for, and for tax and accounting records |
| Time zone, referral code, when you were last active | Your browser and account activity | For daily treats and streaks, referral rewards, and to fight abuse |
| Email address you enter in "Email me the link" | The landing page | To send you the install link once. We keep only a scrambled (hashed) version of it, to stop repeat emails |
We never see or store your card, UPI or bank details. Razorpay handles payments under its own privacy policy.
3. Google and Microsoft account data
When you sign in with Google we ask only for your basic profile and email address.
If you choose to connect a calendar, we ask for read-only access to your list of calendars and their events (Google: calendar.calendarlist.readonly and calendar.events.readonly; Microsoft: Calendars.Read). We use it only to show meeting reminders from your pets. We store the access tokens encrypted, keep only the next 2 days of events (meeting titles too, unless you turn them off in Account → Calendar), and you can disconnect at any time from Account → Calendar, which deletes the stored tokens and events.
Petiction's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In particular, we don't use Google user data for advertising, we don't sell it, we don't let people read it unless you ask us to for support, it's needed for security or the law requires it, and we don't use it to train AI models.
4. Who we share data with
We share data only with the services that run Petiction for us, and only what each one needs:
- Google and Microsoft, for sign-in and calendars you connect.
- Razorpay, to take payments.
- Our hosting and email providers, to run the servers and send emails.
Your friends see your username, your pets' names and look, and notes you send them. We may also disclose data if the law requires it or to protect users from fraud or abuse. If Petiction is sold or merged, your data would move with it under this policy.
5. Cookies
The account website uses one session cookie to keep you signed in. The landing page sets no cookies. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
6. How long we keep it
- Account data: until you delete your account.
- Calendar events: only the next 2 days, replaced as they sync. Calendar tokens: until you disconnect or delete your account.
- Order records: up to 8 years, because tax law requires it, even after you delete your account.
7. Security
Data is sent over HTTPS, calendar tokens are encrypted at rest, and access to our servers and admin panel is limited. No system is perfectly secure, but we'll tell you promptly if a breach affects your data.
8. Your choices and rights
- See or fix your data: most of it is on your Account page. Email us for a full copy.
- Delete your account: email info@rextertech.com from your account's email address. We delete it within 30 days.
- Disconnect a calendar: Account → Calendar.
- Remove Google access: at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Stop everything: uninstall the extension. Data in your browser is removed with it.
Depending on where you live (for example under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act or the EU/UK GDPR), you may have further rights, such as to object or to complain to a regulator. Email us and we'll help.
9. Children
Petiction isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you're under 18, please use Petiction with a parent's or guardian's permission. If you believe a child has given us data, email us and we'll delete it.
10. Changes
If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top. If the change is significant we'll tell you in the extension or by email before it takes effect.
