Privacy Policy — STEP up your health
Chrome extension. Last updated: 31 August 2026.
This extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any user data.
It makes no network requests of any kind.
WHAT IS COLLECTED
Nothing. The extension has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting,
no advertising identifiers, and no third-party services of any kind embedded
in it. There is no account system and no sign-up.
WHAT IS STORED, AND WHERE
The extension stores exactly two pieces of information, both of which are
settings you choose yourself:
- Your chosen reminder interval, in minutes
- Whether reminders are currently paused
These are held in Chrome's built-in extension storage (chrome.storage.sync).
If you are signed into Chrome with sync enabled, Chrome copies them to your
other Chrome browsers so your settings follow you. That transfer is performed
by Chrome itself, between your own devices, and the data never reaches the
developer of this extension or any other party. Uninstalling the extension
removes these settings.
WHAT IS NOT STORED
The extension does not record the pages you visit, your browsing history, the
contents of any page, your search queries, your IP address, or anything that
could identify you.
WHY THE EXTENSION ASKS FOR ITS PERMISSIONS
Alarms — schedules your reminder so it survives Chrome suspending the
extension in the background.
Storage — saves the two settings described above.
Scripting and activeTab — draw the reminder overlay on the tab you are
currently viewing, at the moment a reminder fires. The extension checks the
active tab's address only to determine whether an overlay is permitted on that
kind of page. That address is used for that check and immediately discarded;
it is never stored, logged, or transmitted. These two permissions are used
specifically so that the extension does not need access to all of your
websites.
Notifications — shows an ordinary system notification on pages where an
overlay is not permitted, such as Chrome's own settings pages, so that a
reminder is not silently missed.
CHILDREN
The extension is suitable for all ages and, since it collects no data
whatsoever, it collects no data from children.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If this policy ever changes, the revised version will be posted at this
address with an updated date above. Should a future version of the extension
ever collect data — there are no plans for it to do so — that change would be
described here before it took effect.
