Hoverate – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 October 2026

Hoverate is a browser extension, made by Kopi Chai Labs, that converts currency amounts when you hover over them. It is designed to work without collecting any personal data.

What Hoverate does not do

• It does not collect, store or transmit the contents of the pages you visit.
• It does not track your browsing history.
• It has no accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking code.
• It does not sell or share any data with anyone.

How page content is used

Hoverate runs on web pages so it can read the few characters directly under your mouse pointer, only while the extension is active (by default, only while you hold ⌘). This text is processed entirely inside your browser to detect a number and its currency, and is never sent anywhere.

Data stored on your device

• Your settings (saved conversions, activation key and preferences). These are stored with Chrome's storage and, if you have Chrome Sync turned on, synced by Google between your own browsers.
• Cached exchange rates, so conversions work instantly and offline.
• The last amount you hovered over (just the number and currency pair), so the popup can show it. This stays on your device and is overwritten each time.

Network requests

Hoverate downloads public exchange rates about once a day from ExchangeRate-API (with Frankfurter as a backup). These requests contain no personal information; like any website, those services can see your IP address.

Wise links

The popup contains a link to Wise, a money-transfer service. It may be an affiliate link, which means Kopi Chai Labs may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. Nothing is sent to Wise unless you click the link, after which Wise's own privacy policy applies.
