They are allowed by the poker sites. This is a simple version of PokerTracker/Hold'em Manager. Theres a bunch of others. This is the only one that runs in the browser! (that I know of). I actually want to target the people who don't use trackers and even the playing field a bit.

I was curious why you would attempt this since PT/HM already dominate the market (for a reason) but that's a solid way to differentiate yourself.

Only yourself. It's a javascript app using the FileReader API, so it doesn't do any server interaction when calculating the stats. Just gets the player ratings from the server.
