Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This privacy policy describes how Pip-Token (the "Extension") handles data when installed in Visual Studio Code.

What data the extension reads

Pip-Token reads Claude Code's local session log files stored on your machine at ~/.claude/projects/. These files are written by Claude Code and contain token counts and timestamps for each turn in your sessions. Pip-Token does not read the content of your prompts or responses — only the numeric token metadata.

What data the extension stores

Pip-Token stores a SQLite database in VS Code's per-extension storage directory (typically ~/.vscode/extensions/globalStorage/studiozedward.pip-token/pip-token.db). This database contains:

- Accumulated token counts (input, output, peak, off-peak) per session and per day

- Limit hit events logged manually or detected automatically

- Dashboard sync records entered manually by the user

- User settings: plan tier, currency, and timezone preference

Network calls

Pip-Token makes no network calls of any kind. There is no telemetry, no remote update check, no analytics, and no server communication. All data stays on your machine. This is an architectural commitment, not a configuration option — the extension declares no network permissions.

Third-party services

None. Pip-Token does not communicate with Anthropic, any cloud service, or any third party.

Deleting your data

You can clear all stored data at any time using the CLEAR ALL DATA button on the About page within the extension. Alternatively, delete the pip-token.db file from VS Code's globalStorage directory. Uninstalling the extension via VS Code's Extensions panel will also remove all associated storage.
