Privacy Policy for Meeting Timer — Agenda Countdown for Any Call

**Last updated: 2026-03-17**

## Overview

Meeting Timer — Agenda Countdown for Any Call is a Chrome extension that helps you run timeboxed meetings by creating agendas with per-item time allocations, running a countdown timer that auto-advances through items, and displaying a summary of planned vs. actual time when the meeting ends.

## Data Collection

**We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.**

This extension:

- Does NOT collect any personally identifiable information

- Does NOT track your browsing history

- Does NOT send any data to external servers

- Does NOT use cookies or tracking technologies

- Does NOT share any information with third parties

- Does NOT make any network requests whatsoever

## Permissions

This extension requests the following permissions:

- **alarms**: Used solely to keep the background service worker alive so the countdown timer continues running accurately when the side panel is closed. No data is sent or received.

- **storage**: Used to save agenda templates, active timer state, and user preferences to `chrome.storage.local`. All data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted.

- **notifications**: Used to send desktop notifications when an agenda item's time expires and when the meeting is complete. Notifications contain only the agenda item names you entered.

- **sidePanel**: Used to register and open the Chrome side panel, which is the primary user interface for the timer.

No host permissions are requested. This extension does not access any website content, does not inject scripts into web pages, and does not read or modify any browsing data.

Each permission is used solely for the extension's core functionality as described above.

## Data Storage

All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's `chrome.storage.local` API. This includes:

- Saved agenda templates (names and time allocations you create)

- Active meeting timer state (so the timer survives browser restarts)

- A simple usage counter (number of completed meetings, used only to decide when to show a rate-this-extension prompt)

- Whether you dismissed the rate prompt

This data never leaves your device. There is no server, no database, no cloud sync.

## Third-Party Services

This extension does not use any third-party services. No analytics, no ads, no payment processors, no external APIs.

## Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
