Privacy policy
Applies to the Free RAM Counter Chrome extension and ramaltman.dev. Last updated November 10, 2026.
What the extension sends
About once a minute, while Chrome is running and the extension is not paused:
- a random ID created when the extension is installed;
- your computer's total RAM, in bytes;
- your computer's currently available RAM, in bytes.
Nothing else. The extension does not read your tabs, history, page content, or files, and it has no account system.
How it is used
The values are added up into the public totals shown on ramaltman.dev and in the extension: total free RAM, number of installs online, the record, and a history chart. Individual values are never published.
Your IP address
Your IP address reaches our server as part of any internet connection. It is held only in memory, briefly, to limit how often requests can be made. It is not written to our database or to logs.
Retention
We keep the latest values for each random ID. They are deleted 30 days after the extension stops reporting. The public totals contain no per-install data and are kept indefinitely.
The website
ramaltman.dev is hosted on Vercel and uses Vercel Web Analytics, which reports aggregate page visits without cookies.
Your choices
Press Pause in the extension to stop sending data, or remove the extension. To have the values for your ID deleted sooner, write to the address below with the ID, which we can help you find.
Sharing
We do not sell or share this data with anyone. The extension's use of data is limited to the purpose described here.
