Tiny Pomodoro Timer

Privacy Policy

Effective date:

The short version Tiny Pomodoro Timer does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. Everything stays on your device โ€” except your license key, which is verified with Freemius solely to confirm your purchase.

1. Who we are

Tiny Pomodoro Timer is a browser extension developed and maintained as an independent product. For questions about this policy, contact us at twintetra.dev@gmail.com.

2. Data stored on your device

The extension stores the following data locally on your device. This data never leaves your browser unless explicitly described below.

What Where Why
Timer state (time left, running/paused, current mode, durations) chrome.storage.local Persists the timer across popup opens and browser restarts
Focus session statistics (minutes focused per day, keyed by date) chrome.storage.local Powers the statistics heatmap (Premium feature)
License key and activation record chrome.storage.sync Unlocks Premium features; synced across your Chrome devices signed into the same Google account, if Chrome Sync is enabled. If Chrome Sync is off, this data remains local to your device.
UI preferences (theme, mute) localStorage Remembers your visual and sound preferences

When Chrome Sync is enabled, chrome.storage.sync data is stored by Google on servers associated with your Google account, under Google's Privacy Policy. This applies only to the license record if you have activated Premium. If Chrome Sync is disabled, this data never leaves your device.

3. Network requests

The extension makes network requests only for license verification. No other data is ever sent over the network.

We do not log, store, or process these requests on any server we operate. Freemius is the sole recipient; their privacy practices are described at freemius.com/privacy.

4. Data we do not collect

5. Permissions used

Permission Why it is needed
storage To save timer state and statistics locally
alarms To tick the timer reliably even when the popup is closed
tabs To open the alert page when a session completes, and to focus it if already open

6. Children's privacy

This extension does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our extension, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
