Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 28, 2025

BetterLife is a browser extension designed to help users reduce impulsive online spending and block access to online casino websites until completing a reflection quiz. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the BetterLife Chrome Extension and related services. By using BetterLife, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.


1. Information We Collect

1.1. Account Information (Required for Login)

When you create an account with BetterLife, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Password (handled only by Supabase Auth; never stored or accessible by us)

This information is used solely for authentication and account management.

1.2. Subscription Information

Subscription purchases are processed by Stripe.

We may receive:

  • Subscription status (active/inactive)
  • Subscription plan (monthly/yearly)
  • Stripe customer ID (non-identifiable)

We do not receive or store payment card information.

1.3. Extension Settings (Stored Locally in Chrome Storage)

The extension saves the following preference data locally on your device:

  • Whether the extension is enabled
  • Session timer settings
  • Your personal note for the reflection quiz

This data never leaves your device unless explicitly synced using Chrome's default sync features.

1.4. Non-Sensitive Browsing Context

To perform its function, BetterLife needs to detect when you visit websites on a predefined list of online casinos.

For this purpose, the extension checks:

  • The URL of the active tab
  • Whether it matches a blocked domain pattern

We do not store, transmit, or log browsing history.

BetterLife does NOT collect:

  • Pages you visit outside the predefined gambling domains
  • Search queries
  • Keystrokes
  • Clicks, interactions, or any form of behavioral data

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information strictly to:

  • Authenticate your account
  • Determine whether your subscription is active
  • Enforce blocking and quiz logic
  • Store local extension settings
  • Provide access to your Stripe billing portal for subscription management

No collected data is sold, shared, or used for advertising.


3. Third-Party Services

3.1. Supabase (Authentication & Database)

Used for:

  • Secure user login
  • Account creation
  • Subscription verification

Supabase stores your email and account metadata.

Passwords are encrypted and never viewable by us.

3.2. Stripe (Payments & Billing)

Used for:

  • Subscription purchases
  • Recurring billing
  • Customer billing portal

We do not store payment details — Stripe handles all sensitive financial data.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or rent your personal data to third parties.

Data is only shared with:

  • Supabase, for authentication

Both strictly process data necessary for the service to function.


5. Data Storage

Local Storage (on your device)

Extension settings are stored only on your browser using Chrome's storage system.
