Ollama Usage Tracker — Chrome Extension

Overview

Ollama Usage Tracker ("the Extension") displays your Ollama cloud usage limits directly in your browser. This privacy policy explains what data the Extension accesses, how it is used, and how it is protected.

TL;DR: The Extension does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. All data stays on your device. There are no analytics, no tracking, no ads, and no third-party services.

Data Collection

What data is accessed?

The Extension reads the following data from your ollama.com/settings page when you are logged in:

Session usage percentage
Weekly usage percentage
Per-model request counts (model name and number of requests)
Session and weekly reset timestamps
Plan type (e.g., "max" or "free")
Extra usage balance (prepaid credit amount)

What data is NOT accessed?

Email addresses
Usernames or profile information
Passwords
API keys
Payment or billing details
Any data from other websites

Data Storage

The Extension stores the following data locally using chrome.storage.local:

Data	Purpose
Cached usage data	Display in the popup without re-fetching
Refresh interval setting	User-configured update frequency (1–60 min)
Notification thresholds	User-configured alert percentages
Badge mode preference	Whether badge shows weekly % or session %
Last notification timestamps	Prevent duplicate notifications per cycle

All stored data remains on the user's device and is never transmitted externally.

Data Sharing

Third parties: No data is shared with any third party.
Sales: No data is sold.
Advertising: The Extension contains no advertising.
Analytics: No analytics, telemetry, or tracking tools are used.

Host Permissions

The Extension requests access to https://ollama.com/* exclusively for:

Hidden tab + scripting injection — To read the /settings page DOM and extract usage data. This is required because Ollama has no public API, and SameSite=Lax cookie restrictions prevent fetching the page via fetch().
Content script — A content script runs on https://ollama.com/settings* to capture usage data when the user visits the page directly.

No other hosts are accessed. The Extension does not interact with any other website or service.

Permissions

Permission	Justification
`alarms`	Schedule periodic background refresh of usage data
`storage`	Store user settings and cached usage data locally
`notifications`	Show desktop alerts when usage thresholds are exceeded
`tabs`	Open and close a hidden tab to fetch the settings page
`scripting`	Inject JavaScript into the hidden tab to extract usage data from the DOM
`host: https://ollama.com/*`	Access the user's own settings page on ollama.com

Security

All network requests are made over HTTPS
No remote code is loaded or executed — all code is included in the Extension package
No WebRTC, camera, microphone, or location access
No cookies are created or modified by the Extension

Data Retention & Deletion

All locally stored data is deleted when the Extension is uninstalled. Users can also clear the Extension's data via Chrome settings at any time.

Children's Privacy

The Extension does not collect data from or target children under 13. It is COPPA-compliant by nature — no personal data is collected from anyone.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
