privacy
gazzze does not collect, transmit, sell, share, or analyze any user data. Everything the extension stores stays on your own device, in your browser's local storage. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no third-party data processing of any kind.
what gazzze stores locally
The extension uses Chrome's chrome.storage.local to remember three small pieces of information on your own device:
- Session settings — your chosen timer duration, optional background noise selection, and optional keyboard shortcut.
- Today's reset count — the number of minutes you've spent in focus sessions during the current day, shown in the popup.
- Active session state — the start and end timestamps of the session currently running, so refreshing a tab during a session restores the timer in progress instead of restarting it.
This data never leaves your device. There are no servers that receive it, no analytics endpoints, and no third-party integrations that read it.
what gazzze does not collect
- No personally identifiable information — no email, name, or account.
- No financial or payment information.
- No browsing history, URLs, page content, or cookies.
- No clicks, scrolls, mouse movement, or keystrokes outside of the configured shortcut keys (matched locally, never logged).
- No location, device identifiers, or network information.
- No content from the optional "what will you work on now" prompt — your answer is discarded the moment you hit Enter.
permissions
| permission | why |
|---|---|
| scripting | To inject the focus overlay into your open tabs during a session. |
| storage | To save your settings and today's reset count locally on your device. |
| tabs | To know when tabs reload so the overlay can be re-applied. The extension does not read tab URLs, titles, or content. |
| alarms | To mark the end of a focus session reliably. |
| host access | The focus overlay must cover any page you may be on. The overlay does not read or modify page content. |
third-party services
The extension's UI loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts via a standard <link> tag. Google may receive standard request metadata (your IP address, browser version) when fonts are fetched, per Google's font delivery service. No data about your usage of the extension is sent to Google or any other third party.
donations
If you choose to donate via the optional "support gazzze" link in the extension or on the project website, you'll be taken to Gumroad's website. Any data collected during that transaction is governed by Gumroad's own privacy policy, not this one. The extension itself has no visibility into donation activity.
children's privacy
gazzze is not directed at children under 13. The extension collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
changes
If this policy ever changes — for example, if a future version of the extension adds a feature that requires data collection — the change will be reflected here with an updated date and announced in the extension's release notes.
