Effective date: March 12, 2026

Response Timer Assistant is designed to run locally in your browser and help you track response time with a floating timer. This Privacy Policy explains what data the extension handles and how it is used.

1. Data We Collect
   Response Timer Assistant does not collect personal data.
   We do not collect, store, or transmit:

• name, email, phone number, address, or identifiers

• passwords or authentication credentials

• payment or financial information

• health information

• personal communications

• browsing history for analytics

• website content for profiling or tracking

2. Data Stored Locally
   To provide core functionality, the extension stores timer-related settings and state in your browser’s local extension storage, such as:

• timer duration and warning threshold

• sound settings (volume, interval, selected alert)

• widget style/size/position preferences

• current timer state for continuity across tabs/reloads

This data remains on your device and is used only to run the timer as intended.

3. Permissions Usage

• storage: saves your timer settings and state locally

• alarms: ensures timer completion and reminders work reliably

• offscreen: enables local audio playback for alerts in Manifest V3

• host access/content script scope: shows the floating timer UI on webpages you use

These permissions are used only for the timer’s single purpose.

4. Data Sharing and Sale
   We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.
   We do not transfer user data for advertising, profiling, or unrelated purposes.

5. Remote Code
   Response Timer Assistant does not use remote code execution.
   All executable code is packaged with the extension.

6. Security
   Because timer data is stored locally on your device, no external database is used for user information. While no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, we minimize risk by avoiding unnecessary data collection and external transmission.

7. Children’s Privacy
   Response Timer Assistant is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy
   If this policy changes, the updated version will be published with a revised effective date.
